Listen "60 - Grit or Quit? Be the Best or Rest?"
Episode Synopsis
60 - Grit or Quit? Best or Rest?
I discussed the book by Eric Barker's book, Barking Up the Wrong Tree, and I share what it takes to be successful. One of the biggest takeaways was the importance of both grit and strategic quitting. It's not just about working hard, but also being smart about how you use your time and making sure you prioritize rest and a balanced life. And let's not forget that confidence should be earned through accomplishments, not just knowing the right people or being a good friend.
Another great tip I learned from Barker is that scheduling tasks is actually more effective than creating to-do lists. And having a shutdown ritual can really help you transition from work to personal time and avoid burnout. But perhaps the most important thing is to keep trying new things and find a realistic goal that matches your strengths. It's all about finding the right balance and working toward success in a way that works for you.
