Quitting: Why We Do It (And How to Stop)


Listen Later

We’ve all been there—excited to chase a big goal, only to quit when things get hard. Why do we do it? And, more importantly, what can we do about it?  In this episode, Marissa Hyatt and Ken Freire take a vulnerable, insightful look at what drives us to give up and reveal practical strategies for staying the course.

Key Takeaways

  1. You Can Do Hard Things.  Big goals require big growth. You’re not yet who you need to become to achieve your goal. The key? Staying connected to your why. 
  2. Progress Takes Time. Instead of getting discouraged, celebrate small wins and track how far you’ve come. If you quit too soon, failure is guaranteed.
  3. Focus On the Next Right Thing. Goals are supposed to be risky—and that can make them overwhelming. Choose simple actions that move you forward.
  4. Shame Will Try to Stop You. You’ll have to battle the belief that your worth is tied to your success (but don’t worry, we’ve got ideas to help).
  5. Growth Can Feel Isolating. Not everyone wants to grow, because growth is uncomfortable. The key? Finding the right tribe to journey with you.
