In today's episode, I delve into the tricky subject of quitting versus persevering. I can't stress enough how crucial it is to understand the fine lines and nuances that come with the decision to quit something. Throughout my life, I've had my own struggles with quitting, so I'm coming from a place of personal experience.I've spent time analyzing my own patterns of quitting and have realized the pitfalls of what I call the 'reinforcement theory of quitting.' Basically, every time you quit and feel relief, it becomes easier to quit the next time you face difficulty. That's why it's so important to make decisions based on objective data and not just emotional reactions or impulses.To help you with this dilemma, I offer three barometers you can use to evaluate whether you should quit or keep going:* Imagine a future version of yourself. Would that future 'you' regret giving up?* Start whatever you're contemplating and evaluate your emotional and rational responses as you go along. Does it feel right? Are there insurmountable obstacles or is there room for growth and adaptation?* Take a hard look at the context. Is your desire to quit based on transient conditions that are likely to change, or is it based on factors that are unlikely to change and will continue to be roadblocks?At the end of the day, you should trust the data you collect and aim to make decisions from a place of clarity, rather than letting your emotions cloud your judgment.Help Us Help More People.

In today's episode, I dive into the hidden costs of running a business that people often overlook. Believe me, understanding the math behind your business is not just an option; it's a necessity for ensuring profitability.One mistake I see all too often is pricing based on commodity. That approach is fundamentally flawed. You need to recognize the value of your time and services, not just the market rates for similar commodities. When you get this right, it's like turning on a switch that illuminates your path toward profitability.But profitability isn't just about pricing. It's also about how you allocate your time. I share some of my personal strategies for task optimization, which are essential for running a lean operation. Knowing when and how to delegate is equally crucial. If you're like me, giving up control can be difficult, but it's absolutely necessary for scaling your business.And let's not forget the customer. Enhancing their experience doesn't always require a big investment, but it does need thoughtful planning and execution. From the first touchpoint to the final sale and beyond, make every interaction count.So, join me as we explore these often neglected aspects of business operation. Trust me, your bottom line will thank you for it.Help Us Help More People.

In this episode, we address the common issue of hating selling and feeling sleazy about it. We explain that our relationship with money and past experiences can shape our feelings towards selling. To overcome this resistance, we suggest examining our relationship with money and shifting our perspective on selling. We also emphasize the importance of taking no for an answer and selling at the right time. Ultimately, we encourage listeners to view selling as a service and an opportunity for clients to say yes to themselves. Help Us Help More People.
