Thinking of Quitting a Project? Consider This Before You Make the Decision

Time to Say Goodbye

Tired of a project and thinking of throwing in the towel? It’s okay. Sometimes you must quit certain projects, even major ones you’ve invested tons of time and money in. But it can be hard to say goodbye. Before you decide, consider this Seth Godin quote (from his book The Dip): “The opposite of quitting isn’t merely continuing. No, the opposite of quitting is rededication. The opposite of quitting is an invigorated new strategy designed to break the problem apart.” Are you ready to take one more crack at the project with a fresh approach and 100 percent energy? If you don’t think you can muster it, it’s probably time to cut your losses and move on to the next thing.
