41. Coffee with Anna & Dana: Redefining Success; The Power of Quitting and the Art of Perseverance

Grand Slam Journey

"Winners never quit," we've all heard this well-intentioned advice, but have you ever dared to challenge it? Join me and my wonderful guests, Anna and Dana, as we tangle with this age-old wisdom and posit that perhaps quitting could be the unsung hero of success. We'll share personal stories, propose a fresh perspective on the power of quitting, and scrutinize the concept of 'blind perseverance,' which often leaves us committing too much to a cause that might not even align with our ambitions.
"Quit when it's right!" is the mantra we dissect. We navigate the complex decision-making process, discuss the challenges of quitting, and how to strike a balance between perseverance and knowing when to step away. We spotlight 'grit,' often hailed as the secret sauce for success, but we argue that it's not just about being tenacious; it's about discovering the right cause to be determined about. We'll also talk about how making the brave decision to quit can potentially open doors to new opportunities.
Lastly, we will introduce you to a support framework to assist you in making these critical decisions. We also dive into the power of discipline and its role in achieving our aspirations. So, brew yourself a cup of coffee and join Anna, Dana, and myself in this riveting discussion. Remember, quitting doesn't mean you've lost; it could just be the first step toward a win.
This conversation is inspired by the book Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away by Annie Duke.
