The Dip - Part 2

Big Idea 3:

“Never quit something with great long-term potential just because you can’t deal with the stress of the moment”

Questin 1: Am I panicking?
Question 2: Who Am I Trying to Influence
Question 3: What sort of measurable progress am I making?

It’s really that simple, and that’s how Godin lays it out.

What did we learn:
Winners Quit – we quit all the time. We quit what is not essential to our goal. Your goal should be valued to you – whether it’s having a balanced life, making lots of money, finding peace in a spiritual path, or saving up money for an Ipad.
The Dip – When an activity becomes repetitive or hard, and it will, you are expericing the dip. The dip is a drop in motivation and excitement. It doesn’t last forever. If you ride it out, you’ll get to mastery.

Don’t Quit what you Want – Its your goal, its no one else’s. Don’t sacrifice it, unless you want to sacrifice it.
