Every time I try to quit something I think of that other saying, “Right when you’re about to quit, that’s when things start happening”… It can mess with your head.

I keep drawing a line, if not this, then I quit… ok if not THIS, then I quit… ok… 🤦🏻‍♀️

EXACTLY! So then you stay and stay and stay....until it's way past time to go. The Quit book is SO GOOD!

For me, it’s any day after 4:00 pm. I’m so much more rational and intuitive in the morning.

I really needed to hear this today. I want to reframe quitting as letting go of what’s not serving me and moving towards something that will. Thank you!

I HIGHLY recommend this book for you, Hannah! (And also the podcast I did with Rachel, which is only 15 minutes long but I think it's pretty great!)

My pre-caffeinated takeaway is that employing Quit Criteria gives you permission to set practical boundaries that can help you move your business move forward without stress or guilt. I love that! (I'm also not a fan of Mondays.) Thanks for sharing!

I am reading Quit right now and it's so helpful!!! It helped me "quit" something that was clearly not working and not feel guilty about it.

Decades ago, I worked for K-Tel in Paris. The owner, Raymond Kives, used to say, "Your first losses are your cheapest." I have employed this with regard to books returned from stores that I have been asked whether I wished to pay storage on. I have employed this in many areas of life.
