Summary

Quitting is one of those things that’s been given a bad wrap but, in reality, can be great on your journey toward reaching your goals. Quitting isn’t easy, especially because a lot of people believe that winners never quit. But what if I told you that wasn’t accurate? What if I said that winners actually quit quite often? In this episode, we’ll be chatting about quitting what no longer serves us. I’ll be talking about using constraints to laser in on what’s most important and using those as safeguards to guide you to your goals and ambitions.

What’s In This Episode:

Eliminating the negative connotation associated with quitting

Permitting ourselves to quit what doesn’t serve you

Using constraints to laser in on what’s most important and push you toward growth

0:27.5	Hello, hello everyone. Welcome to Productivity Paradox. I'm your host, Tanya Dalton.

1:02.8	It's about becoming the best version of you and it means you're going to have to quit some
1:08.4	things.
1:09.0	I know that for me, quitting is one of the things
1:11.9	that happens right before I'm able to make a big impact. And actually, I'll be talking in the

1:47.2	doesn't it? I mean, winners never quit and all that. After all, we live in a world where
1:53.9	perseverance and busyness are put up on these pedestals. And depending on when you were born,
2:00.6	it's likely that you were expected to enter
2:03.2	college right after you graduated high school, go into your chosen major, then, you know, have a five-year
