Listen "12. The Nonnegotiable"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Seek the Edge, we explore what it truly means to have a "nonnegotiable" in your journey toward big goals. It's not just about finishing a task—it's about removing any option for quitting. Whether you're working toward fitness, business, or personal growth, making quitting not an option is the key to pushing through setbacks and staying committed.
Key Points:
What is a Nonnegotiable?A nonnegotiable is something you commit to without bargaining or modification. No mental back-and-forth—it happens.
The Most Crucial Nonnegotiable:When pursuing a goal, quitting must be off the table. Setbacks and challenges are inevitable, but persistence is the key to success.
The “Cute Quit”:The "cute quit" is when you make small excuses like, “It’s not the right season for me,” masking fear or self-doubt. Be honest with yourself—are you quitting, or shifting?
Persistence Over Perfection:Most people give up too soon. James Lawrence, the Iron Cowboy, says: "Just keep showing up and you can’t lose." Don’t quit. Keep moving forward.
Takeaway:Make quitting a nonnegotiable. When you remove it as an option, you’re forced to keep going—even through resistance. Shift when needed, but never quit.
