This post reminds me of the book by Seth Godin – the dip

I think he even uses the same quote. But in any case I agree that it’s a good idea to quit early unless you know it will be worth it in the end.

I may soon be a quitter and join the club. I have a decent career and job which pays well but I enjoy doing it less and less and long to have a change of career for something I enjoy. I just need to take the plunge and aim to do it shortly all things going to plan.

Well, Kelly – if you’re a quitter too than I’m in good company It’s not easy to change course, especially when you’ve invested time and energy in something, but it’s so crucial to do it anyway.

Cory – thanks for your comment. I couldn’t agree more with you about the “too nice” people – it’s so important to take control of your life and cut your losses when necessary.

I’m a quitter too Traci – hopefully always in a good way

I believe you have to change course once you realize you’re headed in the wrong direction.

Loved your statement: “It’s no use winning the wrong race.”

I’ve learned to walk away from things that are turning south. Companies fail, theatrical productions never get off the ground, and families start well meaning projects that never go anywhere – all through no fault of your own.

People who are ‘too nice’ or too honorable can hurt themselves and the ones they love by not taking charge and running their own lives instead of letting their lives run them.
