When was the last time you quit something?

As a society, we tend to have the idea that if you start something, you need to see it through, regardless of the cost to your physical, emotional, financial, or mental health.

I made a video about?this which you can see below. If you want more content like this then make sure to?subscribe to the Be Your Own Boss Podcast Youtube Channel ?where Blake and I teach you how you can be your own boss.

But that’s the worst thing you could do.

I’ve quit many jobs and projects that weren’t a good fit, and it was the best thing I could have done for my career and personal development.

I quit my last two full-time jobs because of toxic workplaces cultures that provided no sense of growth or future opportunities.

I quit my first startup because the co-founder and I didn’t share the same vision for the company.

I quit my first consulting company because of unfair relationships with the other partners.

In all these situations, I tried my best to make things work. I explored possible solutions, but eventually, I had to accept that the jobs and activities weren’t a great fit for me personally or professionally.

Quitting isn’t about abandoning things when they get hard. Don’t quit a job because you are bored, want more money, or find the work too challenging. Those problems can be solved.

But if there are bigger picture issues that can’t be resolved, such as a toxic culture, a lack of growth opportunities, or not feeling fulfilled at work, quitting may be the best option.

Try your best and work hard. But if that doesn’t work, know that it is ok to walk away.

Perhaps quitting will be the best decision you can make.
