Why do we quit?  We quit when things are too hard, takes too long, it's too hot, too cold, not treated right, not recognized, not seeing results, or don’t have the time.  People quit jobs, relationships, marriages, activities, sports….we quit our dreams.  Sometimes we have to quit some things in order to live our dreams. But when do you quit? In this episode, Stephen lays out the steps to identify when you should quit.
