‘You can choose stasis for any number of reasons. Just know that a steep tab is on its way to your table when you do.’

‘The time to suit up for the battle again is just before the victory party begins.’

Even when you’re talking about complex things, there is always a way to say it plainly to ensure everyone can grasp your intentions.’

‘Humans tend to support that which they help create, and resist that which is forced upon them.’

‘Without insights you are guessing, and smart people don’t guess.’

‘You don’t have a strategy until everyone buys into and is acting on it. By definition, do you have one?’

‘Unless you want to mess around with style over substance, it’s best to know where you’re going before you start going there.’

‘Don’t move until you see it, but when you see it, move.’

‘Stay uncomfortable.’

‘Always be thoughtful, yet nonetheless take leaps that move you forward and open up new possibilities.’

Insights are the raw materials of building and rebuilding empires, the golden keys to reinventing every company.’

When To Quit

Quitting is not the end of your life. It is not the end of your career. It is not the end of your growth.

It is the beginning of your success. You get rid of things that are not helping you.

Quitting is the only way to stop what is not working. If something is not working for you, let it go. Don’t waste your time!

Life is too short for that!

According to Julia Keller, ‘Quitting is about following your heart- even if you break someone else’s in the process.’

‘Don’t fall victim to fear- or to the sunk-cost fallacy ot failing to heed opportunity cost. Quitting isn’t the end. It can be the beginning of success.’

Why not let some things go- without letting everything go? Quitting doesn’t have to be an absolute.’

‘You can change course when you need to. It’s a way of fighting back against random chance- and reclaiming your power.’

‘Quitting scenes make you feel bold and feisty, ready to make changes in your life. … Your reaction may tell you a lot about your comfort level with change.’

‘If you decide to give up, don’t think of it as a surrender: think of it as aerobics for your brain.’

‘Quitting is about tomorrow. Quitting is about the capacity to change, again and again, as often as you’re compelled to do so.’

‘Quitting for something better- or maybe just something different- should be the norm, not the aberration.’

Quasi-quitting isn’t about slacking off and trying to slide by, hoping that no one in charge notices. It’s about doing more, not less.’

‘Quasi-quitting is active, not passive. It’s powered by nimbleness and acumen, not apathy.’
