Summary

In this episode of The Jordan Syatt Mini-Podcast, I talk about the many times when I have wanted to quit, and highlight some of the most important times I have either gone through with it, or stuck it out for the long-run.  I tell the story of when I almost dropped out of college, how I nearly quit my life-changing job as Gary Vaynerchuk's personal trainer in the first three months, and how I forced myself to stick with the Inner Circle for at least a year when it hardly had any members at all.  I also talk about quitting a bad job early, and why I walked away from powerlifting as soon as I accomplished my 10 year goal of pulling a 4x times bodyweight deadlift. I hope you enjoy this episode and, if you do, please leave a review on iTunes (huge thank you to everyone who has written one so far). Finally, if you've been thinking about joining The Inner Circle but haven't yet... we have hundreds of home and bodyweight workouts for you and you can get them all here: www.sfinnercircle.com.

What's going on? Welcome back to the Jordan Sia and the podcast. Thank you so much for

0:08.7

listening. Before we dive into this episode, I just want to say from the very beginning,

0:14.4

I might burp. I just feel it. I feel this one burp bubble sitting right in the middle

0:20.7

of my chest and it could erupt at any moment. So just giving you fair warning. With that

0:27.3

said, I'm excited for this episode. It's just going to be you and me chatting or me chatting

0:33.4

you listening, depending on how long you listen this episode. Either way, I'm excited.

0:38.3

I think it's going to be a good one. It could be wrong. We'll see. Stop rambling. Let's

0:42.0

go Jordan. Come on. Get into it. Here's the deal. In this episode, I want to talk about

0:46.6

quitting. And I guess you could call it the art of quitting with art being in quotations.

0:54.6

And I'll actually preface by saying much of what I'm going to discuss stems from a remarkable

1:01.5

book written by Seth Godin. And the book is called The Dip. It's about a 45 minute to

1:08.5

an hour read. I strongly urge you to get it. It's a phenomenal, phenomenal book. That being

1:15.4

said, what I'm about to discuss might also make reading the book unnecessary. Either way,

1:21.9

big fan of Seth Godin, great book. And it's called The Dip. Now, the premise of the dip

1:29.9

is based around sort of breaking down the myth that quitting is bad, right? Because in

1:38.4

society today, often what we hear is the phrase that goes, Quitters never win and winners

1:45.5

never quit. But that's actually false. It is remarkably inaccurate because the people

1:53.2

who consistently win at a high level are actually the best quitters. They don't quit everything

2:01.2

they do, but they know when it's the right time to quit. They know when to call it. They

2:08.0

know when something isn't worth doing anymore. So they cut it. And the dip is basically

2:15.8

that time frame in which it's the optimal or best time to quit something. The question

2:21.3

is, well, how do you know? So what the dip is basically the flow of it is anytime you start
