The Dip, Revisited

For all of you that like Seth Godin and his thoughts, The Dip is one of his bestselling books, talking basically about when it's time to quit something you are doing...or stick with it until you make it.

Some excerpts (paraphrased) from his book:

• The famous phrase, "winners don't quit", is jut wrong.
• Winners quit, the right things, at the right time, all the time.
• Quit the wrong stuff, stick to the right stuff.  Have the guts to do just this.

If you want a short audio introduction of the Dip, listen here.

Jim Collins has some thoughts along these lines too, with his New Year's Resolution Stop Doing List, where he advice readers to stop doing stop that make you lose focus on what you really want, as time for all of us is  the scarcest resource and limited.

So, how good are you at quitting?   Are you focusing on the right things?
