A questionnaire about sunk costs forced someone to admit they were on the wrong path. They quit their business and degree plans to write a book instead, the goal that made their heart sing.
Chapters
So I was excited that Intrepid could help me figure out where maybe I was going wrong. I went through all the questions pretty satisfactorily. It wasn't, you know, the answers were coming to me. And then I got to the last section and I read the question about, what are you going to do about sunk costs? And do you know if it's time to quit? And that question hit me like a sucker punch to the gut. Because suddenly I had this, well, all the way through, I kind of had this little niggling that maybe I wasn't on the right track, but that was like the big signpost that said, you are not, you're not on the right track for right now. And so I went away for a while and I came back to it with a new outlook, with a new path that I wanted to try. And for the longest time in my life, I've wanted to write a book. And I feel like there's one inside me that just is dying to come out, but I've never taken those steps because there's always been something else in the way, usually me trying to build a business or get a degree or do something external like that. And so I went through Intrepid again through the lens of me writing this book and the questions, they were just, as I was answering them, the answers were making my heart sing. I was like, yes, this is the thing. I can answer these questions so easily. I get to that part at the end about the sunk costs and the quitting. And I'm like, maybe no, this is, this is the thing. I'm, I'm not even worried about sunk costs. I'm not worried about making money off of it or anything like that. I just feel like it's something that I wanna put out in the world. So thank you. This book has been a huge help to me, and that was in like the span of 2 weeks. So I wasn't even like deliberating over this for months and months.
