This is an age-old question. You don’t want to stop digging two feet from a gold mine. You also don’t want to spend years and obscene amounts of money to did up a whole mountain only to learn there is no gold.
You don’t want to chase your loses and put good money after bad. You do want to be one of those success stories who is an “overnight success” after ten years of scraping by.
Common advice says to “fail fast.” But that means quitting. We also hear “never give up.” Those two things seem diametrically opposed to me.
I don’t have a concrete answer that always works so I decided to ask a panel of people from diverse backgrounds what they do.
Jesse Carrie, Keji Moses, Pascal Derrien and Chuck Groot were kind enough to share their experience and ideas with me.
How do you decide when to quit and when to keep forcing yourself forward?
