When is Enough, Enough in Business? When Do You Call it Quits? | Episode 318

Ever feel like your business is sucking the life out of you? In this tough but necessary conversation, I dive into the question all business owners dread: when is it time to call it quits? I’ve had a few heartfelt, teary chats with clients this week that inspired this episode, and although it’s not an easy one, it’s one we need to talk about.

If you’re questioning whether to push through or let go, I’ll walk you through the difference between being persistent and just plain stubborn in your business. You’ll hear real talk on when to step back, reflect on your business model, and maybe even change the path to reach your big, hairy audacious goals.

This episode isn’t about giving advice—every business is different, but it might help you think about things in a new light. Listen in, grab a coffee (or maybe something stronger!), and let’s get real about when enough might be enough.

Tune in now and don’t forget—no matter what, there’s no point in dreaming small!
