A brief spoken monologue by T.J. Walker arguing that quitting quickly after recognizing failure is a key to success.

Walker habit" of quitting quickly when a path is wrong.

Are you a quitter? Well, if not, maybe that's why you're not as successful as you could be. We live in a culture that glamorizes tenacity and never giving up and fighting through the slog. Guess what? All really successful people have had massive failures and learned to quit. But they quit quickly. They learn from their mistakes. Don't dig yourself deeper when you're already in a hole. So much of success is not just about working longer hours. It's about listening to the data, listening to results. And sometimes the results are the path you're on is the wrong path. Now could be the perfect time to quit. Follow the T.J. walker habit.
