Hi again! 👋🏾
Another year, another attempt at meeting my reading challenge goals.
We’ll see how that goes. Fingers crossed
Let's get into it.
by Seth Godin
“Winners quit all the time. They just quit the right stuff at the right time.”— Seth Godin, The Dip
Short book. Quick read.
I learned about this book when this YouTube video showed up in my feed and I needed background noise and it influenced me to pick up the book and gave me some momentum to keep reading.
The video is really cool as the she discusses how the book helped her keep posting on YouTube when she considered quitting.
The central idea of the book is sometimes, quitting is the best decision you can make.
Not in a "give up on everything" way, but in a "stop wasting your energy on things that won't pay off" way. Things you've probably already heard before.
Seth Godin argues that every pursuit has a dip a period of struggle where most people give up. The key is knowing which struggles are worth pushing through and which ones are just dead ends. And that's it.
Would I recommend it? Definitely, especially if you’re at a crossroads in your career or personal projects and wondering whether to push through or move on.
That’s it for January!
Will I keep up with this reading challenge all year? Who knows. But at least I’ve started.
See you in the next one! 🤍
