Quitting

Friday, January 10

To help you/your team launch into 2025 with intention, I’m offering half off my virtual team sessions in January. These will be 1 hour sessions with your team, covering your pick of topic: leadership, mindset, communication, overcoming adversity, the process of greatness. More than twenty teams across a variety of industries have already claimed spots. If you’re interested, just shoot me an email here.

Today is Quitter’s Day. The day when more than 80% of people who set goals on January 1 have already given up on them.

Which means most people don’t even make it 10 days.

It happens every year. People start strong, filled with excitement and ambition, but somewhere along the way, the energy fades. The workouts stop. The journaling stops. The focus on growth stops.

Why?

Because change is hard. Progress isn’t immediate. The Critic in our heads whispers, “This isn’t working,” or, “You’ll never make it anyway, so why try?”

That voice convinces us to take the easy way out. To go back to what’s comfortable.

But here’s the truth: Quitter’s Day doesn’t have to be your day.

Whether you’ve started something new or stumbled along the way, today is your chance to recommit. To push through the resistance. To remember that every step forward—no matter how small—is progress.

The key to lasting growth isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up. Day after day. Even when you don’t feel like it.

So here’s my challenge to you:

  • If you’ve started something, keep going. Don’t let the doubts win.

  • If you’ve already quit, start again. A single misstep doesn’t define your journey.

Resilience isn’t built in moments of ease—it’s created in the moments you want to quit but choose not to.

Today can be the day you quit. Or it can be the day you double down.

You get to choose your path. Choose growth.
