"One of the hardest decisions you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder."
Ziad Abdelnour
This was one of the quotes included in Emma Isaacs much-acclaimed book; Winging It, that provided a huge a-ha moment for Jane.
In a follow-up to episode #62 of Miss Bossy Boots podcast, where Stacey shared her top three take outs from Emma Isaac's book about business, Jane now shares a couple of hers.
She relates Ziad's quote to business. "One of the hardest parts in business is choosing whether to walk away or try harder."
Having recently removed herself from her everyday life for a week with a trip to San Franscisco, Jane returned with much clarity, new ideas, free thinking and a renewed energy.
Two days later she resigned from a position that had been bothering her for at least twelve months.
"I was so torn in this position as everything within my heart screamed to give it up but my head kept instructing me to 'harden up and to not give up'!
"By just giving myself enough time to think, I was able to see with so much clarity that the only choice here was to walk away. Once I'd made the decision, I've never looked back!"
The second quote that resonated with Jane was:
"If you're the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room."
This is powerful. And it's so true. Surrounding yourself by people who lift you can help you step outside of your comfort zone and become a better person of yourself. Stace and Jane both make a huge effort to do this in their business life.
If you feel that these points may resonate with you, have a listen and we'd love to hear any additional comments or experiences you have about these over on our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/MissBossyBootsPodcast/
