Tap Out!
This episode is about knowing if you should lean in or tap out. If you find yourself in a continual cycle of indecisiveness, this episode is for you. Anitra and Andre unpack strategies for knowing how and when to move on and identifying what you learned from the experience. Join the sibling pair and reflect on times when you struggle with embracing the need to quit and when to stay the course. Life’s experiences will always beg the question, “what is my motivation for tapping out or staying?” The right answer to that question always leads to a better you.
Memorable quotes:
- What is the difference between what we expected and what happened? ~ Andre
- Success sometimes comes at the darkest time before you tap out. ~ Anitra
- There is a sensitivity to the unexpected that limits your ability to make a decision to move on. ~ Andre
- Stop complaining or wavering, ride and rest in the decision. ~ Anitra
- What is the cost of learning, the cost is investment or expense. ~ Andre
- The grass is greener where you water it. ~ Anitra
