Can I quit?

| |

Right now is the brink. It is the point at which your opponent raises the pot and to call you must go all in. You have good cards. But are they good enough? More importantly, do you have the balls? That is the real question. Can you put it all out there to risk it. And honestly, what are you really risking?

Think through the positives/negatives. Think through the outcomes. Weigh the risks and alternatives. That is what entrepreneurs do. They figure if they have the soldiers to fight the battle. Can they fight it or not. Can you cut the cord from your other job or not? And right now, it is not even cutting the cord, but rather taking a step back. Or maybe a step up. A step closer to your goal. That is what you really want. That is what you are really in this race for, it is for the prize. It is to not accept the acceptable but life is about going all in with the cards you have been dealt. Thankfully, in life, in business especially, you can fight in spite of the cards. If you don't have the cards to win, you can arm wrestle for a rematch.

That's the beauty of business. The open possibility of success. Let's go to the mattresses.
