EP 3625 Don't quit when it's tough

EP 3625 is about the moment most people sabotage their future: when it gets hard and they start negotiating with themselves.

Here's the truth. If you only decide to quit when it's tough, you'll quit a lot. Because when you're tired, stressed, rejected, or running on fumes, your brain will sell you a story that sounds "reasonable" and feels like relief. That's not wisdom. That's emotion trying to take the wheel.

So this episode flips the script. If you're going to quit something, quit when it's easy.

When it's easy you can think clearly. You can assess facts, not feelings. You can ask the real questions: Is this aligned with my values? Is the cost worth the outcome? Is this a season or a dead end? Am I quitting because the strategy is wrong, or because my discomfort tolerance is weak?

Quitting when it's easy makes you less likely to actually quit, because you're not making the decision from pain. You're making it from identity. From standards. From leadership.

We talk about how to set "quit criteria" in advance, so you stop breaking promises to yourself. You'll learn how to separate a hard day from a hard life, and how to keep going without turning your goals into a prison.

If you're building a business, trying to get fit, fixing a relationship, or rebuilding yourself after a brutal chapter, this is the reminder you need: tough is not the signal to stop. Tough is the tuition.

Listen in, reset your rules, and stop letting temporary discomfort make permanent decisions.
