Strategic Quitting
- Quit the wrong things and stick with the right things.
- Winners quit strategically, not reactively or serially.
Market Rewards Exceptional Work
- The free market rewards exceptionalism, not well-roundedness.
- Scarcity creates value, so strive to be the best in a niche.
Quit Before You Start
