Summary

Hey friends, thanks so much for tuning into the podcast and I'm going to keep it real with you today. I mean I always do but today I'm going to keep it really real. I have had moments where I want to quit on my big idea. There I said it. Hopefully this lets you know that if you have had the thought, even if you've fantasized about how much easier life would be if you just threw in the towel and you didn't keep going on your big idea, you are not alone. This is something that I think if you asked any successful entrepreneur they have had moments where they thought about quitting. If you've had these moments the first thing to know is that it is not a sign that you should quit, that you should not keep going. But I also think that what you would find in common between the people who've achieved success in any way you measure success is that they have had those feelings but they kept going anyway. You'll want to keep this episode as a pep talk to yourself when you feel like quitting. 




In this episode we talk about:

  • We feel like quitting most when we are getting outside of our comfort zone
  • Cultivating belief in yourself
  • Playing out the worst case scenario + the best case scenario
  • Supporting yourself with the right kind of community
