This Book Made Me Quit My Job

If you want to be successful at anything you need to know when to push through the difficult times and when to quit things that just aren't working. That's the core message of Seth Godin's book The Dip which teaches you when to give up on an idea and when to persevere with it.

We often either give up too easily just before we see results or we push through or stick with something we know isn't going to get us the results we want.
As we only have a fixed amount of time it's important to understand the extraordinary benefits of knowing when to quit and when to stick at something.

When I read The Dip this book changed how I think about hard work and quitting.

In this book club video I cover the main points from the book in 15 minutes. Make sure you sign up to my newsletter below for the book summary too :)
