MCP095 Before You Give Up, Ask These Five Important Questions w/ Ely
Thanks for tuning in to another solo episode of #MeetCoolPeople. The response after my last crossover with 7th Fold Projects was huge, so I’m keeping these solo deep-dives in the mix. Today’s topic is one that hits home for just about anyone—especially if you’re running your own business: resilience.
Let’s be real. The past few years have been tough, with challenge after challenge to overcome. I break down my five go-to questions that help me figure out whether I’m truly stuck, burned out, or just facing a bump in the road. Whether you’ve been tempted to quit or feel stuck procrastinating, these questions have helped me get clear and move forward.
Here are a few things I touched on in this episode:
- Pinpoint the real problem: Sometimes what you’re running from isn’t what you think.
- Will it follow you? If you quit, will you face the same challenge somewhere else?
- Build your toolkit: Sticking around may mean learning valuable skills by pushing through.
- Who else matters: Someone could be relying on you to see it through, even when you want out.
- Measure your future regret: Which choice, leaving or staying, will you wish you’d handled differently?
I shared how my own cycle of burnout happens when I don’t take time to rest. Sometimes, your brain is just desperately trying to get away from the grind. Other times, you may really need a change and that’s okay too… just make sure you’re clear on your reasons.
I truly believe most people give up too soon. Ask yourself better questions and you’ll get better answers. This episode is about slowing down, tuning in, and being honest with yourself.
As always, I love hearing your thoughts on these topics. Let me know what resonated and if this helped you see resilience in a new light. Want to connect or share your story? Shoot me an email or reach out on LinkedIn.
