Ready to Quit? Ask yourself these questions first
Episode 52
Sunday, 19 January, 2025
Post-holiday blues are a thing.At this time of year, many business owners dream of closing up shop, quitting their business and moving on to something else.If you've found yourself on job boards or LinkedIn, searching for an easier path, you're not alone. Business is tough, it can be relentless, and sometimes it feels like we're just not cut out for it.But before you throw in the towel, there are three questions I want you to ask yourself:#1: What are the main reasons driving my desire to quit?What's driving your desire to quit? Are these feelings arising from something temporary, like post-holiday blues, or is there a deeper issue within your business? It could be staff or system challenges, external pressures, or even internal expectations. Sometimes quitting seems more simple than facing the problem head on. #2: Have I exhausted all options to resolve the current challenge? Have you sought support, looked for resources, or experimented with changes that could improve the situation? Sometimes, the answer lies in unexplored options or collaborations with new people. #3: What are the long term implications of quitting for me personally and professionally?Quitting might bring relief but it could also close doors to valuable lessons and growth opportunities. Picture your life post-business – does it make you feel elated? Or does it sadden you? You need to consider how quitting may impact your career trajectory, financial stability, and, importantly, your emotional well-being.Bringing Back the JoyI think that bringing joy back in as a self care option may make a significant difference to your outlook, to your mindset, and to your business. Life is too short to be working in a job or business that you don’t love. But before you move onto the next thing, I really encourage you to take some time pondering these questions. Figure out what lights you up and what doesn’t, regardless of your decision.
