Maybe there’s something in your business—or your life—that you need to quit.
Not hustle harder. Not push through. Just… quit.
Let’s clear something up: quitting isn’t always a failure. Sometimes, it’s the smartest, strongest, most strategic move you can make. It can be the very thing that creates momentum, clarity, even freedom.
Ask yourself:
What am I carrying that’s too damn heavy?
What keeps spinning in my mind on a loop?
What do I catch myself daydreaming about?
Now the big one:
What’s the one thing—if you changed it or let it go completely—that would lift the weight off your shoulders and let the fresh air back in?
Even if it came at a cost. Even if you had to cut your losses. What if that one choice cracked open the door to everything you’ve been hoping for?
Sure, there are smart steps to take before a big change—but sometimes the first step is giving yourself permission to stop pretending it's working.
So here’s your encouragement: Summon a little “I’m-fresh-out-of-F’s” energy, make a move or two, shift what needs shifting—and choose the path that brings you the most relief.
Because relief is a signpost. It often leads to your next big breakthrough.
