Quit On Your Best Day

Quit On Your Best Day - Advice For The New Entrepreneur

If you're thinking about quitting, do it on your best day. 

Yes, you read that right. It sounds counterintuitive, doesn’t it? But stick with me, and I’ll explain why this unconventional advice might just be the secret to achieving your goals.

The Temptation to Quit As A New Entrepreneur 

We've all been there. Whether it’s a project that seems to be going nowhere, a job that feels like a grind, or a side hustle that’s not bringing in the money you hoped for, the thought of quitting can be tantalizing. The allure of just walking away and leaving the stress behind is strong, especially when things aren't going well.

But here’s the kicker…the only way you’ll truly know if quitting is the right choice is if you do it on your best day. Why? Because we tend to want to quit when we're struggling. When something feels hard, our instinct is to bolt. But that’s precisely the wrong time to make such a significant decision.

The Problem with Quitting on a Bad Day

Quitting on a bad day is essentially giving up when you’re challenged. When we face obstacles, our minds and bodies go into a state of stress. This stress can cloud our judgment and make us see the situation as more dire than it actually is. In these moments, quitting feels like a release, an escape from the immediate discomfort. But this decision is often made in the heat of the moment, without considering the long-term consequences.

Think about it. Would you want your kids to give up when something gets tough? Probably not. You’d want them to push through, to learn how to deal with difficulties and come out stronger on the other side. The best way to show them how to handle tough situations is to model that behavior yourself.

The Power of Quitting on Your Best Day

So, why quit on your best day? When you’re having a good day, your mind is clear, your spirits are high, and you’re in a much better position to make rational decisions. If you still feel like quitting when everything is going well, then maybe it is the right choice. But more often than not, you’ll find that your desire to quit diminishes when you’re in a positive state of mind.

When we take quitting off the table, we start looking for ways to fix the situation. We get creative, resourceful, and resilient. We develop problem-solving skills that not only help us overcome the current challenge but also prepare us for future obstacles.

On the flip side, if we’re quick to quit, that becomes our default setting. We train ourselves to give up whenever things get tough. This habit can bleed into other areas of our lives, making us more likely to abandon our goals and dreams at the first sign of trouble.

The Simple but Not Easy Process

No one ever said starting a business was going to be easy. Dave has always been abundantly clear – the process is simple, but it’s not easy. The steps you need to take are straightforward, but the journey is filled with challenges and setbacks. It’s during these tough times that your commitment is truly tested.

When you feel like quitting, remind yourself why you started in the first place. What were your goals? What were you hoping to achieve? Sometimes, revisiting your initial motivations can reignite your passion and help you push through the tough times.

Building Resilience

Resilience is like a muscle..the more you use it, the stronger it gets. Every time you choose to stick it out instead of quitting, you’re building your resilience. This strength will serve you well, not just in your current endeavor but in every aspect of your life.

At Legendary Marketer, we believe in the power of perseverance. We understand the challenges that come with starting a business, especially when you're learning digital marketing. Our goal is to equip you with the tools and knowledge to navigate these challenges and come out on top.

The next time you’re thinking about quitting, wait until you’re having a good day. See how you feel then. Chances are, you’ll realize you’ve got more fight in you than you thought. And that’s where the magic happens. You’ll start to see progress, and those small wins will add up to something significant.

Quitting on your best day ensures that you’re making a well-considered decision rather than an impulsive one. It encourages you to push through challenges and develop the resilience needed to succeed in any endeavor. So, the next time you’re tempted to throw in the towel, remember this advice. You might just surprise yourself with what you can achieve.

Stay strong, and keep pushing forward. Your best days are ahead of you, and at Legendary Marketer, we're here to help you make the most of them.

Your Weekly Legend for March 5th-11th

Everyone hates a bully…but we all have that one. That one bully that knows our biggest worries, fears, and weaknesses.

On top of all of that, this particular bully is the ultimate killer of our dreams. It’s like they must have some secret access to our heads and can hear our deepest worries. Like they have some special spell or mind-reading gift that provides full access to every thought, dream, fear, and worry that crosses our mind.

Well, no special gifts are needed here. Your biggest bully, well frankly, is YOU. 

We are our biggest enemy.

We are the one that stops action toward dreams. We are the ones creating excuses why we can’t do this or that, and ultimately quit. We are the little voice repeating our biggest worries over and over to ourselves. 

So how do we overcome it? You gotta put your dreams above your fear. 

As Dave shared this week…You gotta show up and glow up! Show up for yourself and keep growing into greatness.

A perfect example of this came from the comedian Jo Koy. 

Just this week I was watching his most recent special. This guy always leaves me absolutely rolling in laughter! Like full-on tears streaming down my face. He was absolutely hilarious and then a small switch happened in the middle of the show…

He shared a piece of his story with the audience that I didn’t realize. 

This man was turned down by Netflix 8 times. 

His ultimate dream for himself was to one day have a Netflix special. And they kept telling him no. He wasn’t going to stop. He finally decided, maybe they need to see it first? 

He was going to fund the entire project upfront, do all the production, all the editing required, and use pretty much all of his savings to create it. 

It was going to be risky. 

It was scary as hell. 

At this point, he had already been turned down 7 times.

Jo Koy kept going after his dream because he couldn’t bear to show his son what it looked like to give up on a dream. 

That was his “WHY.”

He didn't want his son to learn that quitting on a dream was an option.

2 days before they filmed Jokoy’s first special, Netflix called again…

He got excited…

Maybe it’s all finally coming together. 

The rep shared…We heard you are producing your own show, we just need you to know…

We really DON’T want it so if there’s time to cut your losses, do it. 

Jo was crushed.

The bully's voice in his head got really loud. He could listen to the voice inside his head telling him to quit, or he could listen to his heart knowing he needed to keep going after his dream. He needed to show his son, no one determines your destiny. He filmed that special. His team then shopped it around to different networks. 

Netflix called again…”We want it.” 

Fast forward to today, Jo Koy now has 4 specials on this network. His journey to a Netflix special is a powerful example of the importance of believing in oneself. To turn off the bully voice, and listen to the cheerleader instead. Even when faced with repeated rejection, Jo Koy never gave up on his dream. His perseverance and determination ultimately paid off.

Could you imagine where he would be right now if he walked away and quit after the first no…

Or the 3rd

Or the 5th

Or the 7th…

Or the 8th…when he took on so much risk with no guarantee of success? He believed in himself and his abilities. I think today is a great day to tell the bully in your own head to shut it and let that cheerleader have a bit more voice. 

One way to start, listen to success stories, tips, and mindset advice that’s shared in each episode of Wake Up Legendary. Be sure to check out the recordings from last week and check out the guests below for this week. 

As always…

Stay Legendary!
– JoAnn
