How do you know when to quit? Winners are quitters. I'm the biggest quitter you've ever met. I quit Wall Street. I quit 7-figure jobs I hated. I quit businesses that lost me money. I quit relationships that drained my energy. I quit deals that look sexy but smell stupid. We were taught quitting is weak. That's wrong. Quitting fast is a superpower. Like most people stay too long in a bad relationship or a business, bad rooms. I cut losses daily. I double down on the things that win and then I cut losers fast. Because staying loyal to something that's dying, I don't think that makes you noble, it makes you poor. Sometimes quitting is the most profitable move you'll ever make in your life.
