297: How to know when to give up and when to stick it out
Episode 297
Tuesday, 19 August, 2025
In this thought-provoking episode, Tina Tower dives deep into one of the toughest business conundrums: How do you know when to persevere and when it’s time to let an idea go? Tina shares her insights, personal stories, and actionable strategies to help you discern whether you should double down or pivot in your business journey. Whether you’re facing resistance that may just be the prelude to a breakthrough, or you sense it’s time for a fresh start, this episode gives you the clarity and confidence to make your next move. Key Topics Covered: The Myth of “If It’s Hard, It’s Wrong” Tina busts the myth that struggle means you’re on the wrong path, emphasizing that all good things start hard. She highlights the reality of behind-the-scenes challenges, reminding listeners not to be fooled by the highlight reels of others. Measuring Effort vs. Evidence Learn Tina’s framework for evaluating your progress. Are you seeing small signs of life and traction? Or is your idea flatlining after consistent, strategic efforts? She guides you on how to assess your metrics and tweak your approach accordingly. Reconnecting With Your ‘Why’ If you’re considering a pivot, Tina suggests revisiting your core mission. Are you overly attached to your offer instead of your purpose? She explains why falling in love with your mission—not just the format of your offer—sets you up for sustainable success. Energy Drain vs. Expansion Red flag or green flag? Tina shares the energetic indicators to watch for—like dread, burnout, or fulfillment—and how these can guide your decision to stick or quit. Asking Better Questions Instead of simply debating quitting, Tina provides thought-provoking questions to ask yourself, such as “What would need to change to make this work?” and “Would I want to do this if I didn’t have to?” Giving Yourself Permission to Change Without Shame Hear Tina’s honest stories of major pivots and identity shifts, and her encouragement to change direction boldly, without fear of looking flaky or failing publicly. Signs to Stick It Out vs. Let It Go Tina breaks down when to persevere (traction, foundational growth, evolving leadership, excitement for the future) and when to walk away (misalignment, ongoing energy drain, sunk cost traps, attachment to what others think). Trusting Yourself and Staying Adaptable The episode closes with powerful reminders to trust your gut, hold your mission firmly, but keep the how flexible. Persistence is noble, but discernment is powerful. Whether you’re holding on or letting go, the journey is about trusting yourself, staying true to your mission, and being willing to adapt as you go. Give yourself grace and know that every decision makes you wiser and more resilient.
