| 0:00.0 | When should you quit? And winners, you've heard this expression before, |
| 0:03.6 | winners never quit and quitters never win. Sometimes that idea sends us into this state |
| 0:08.7 | of becoming workaholics and pursuing goals that are no longer worthwhile. |
| 0:13.7 | How do we know when to quit? I'm going to do. So I reread the book The Dip by Seth Godin and this book is very similar to other books that you might have read like |
| 0:48.0 | the Obstacles the Way by Ryan Holiday or Mark Manson's book the The Subtle Arts of Not Giving an F. |
