When do you give up?
Never! But occasionally you need to re-evaluate if where you’re going is still where you want to be.
Recently I was giving a keynote about the importance of perseverance to a group of young entrepreneurs. At the end of the keynote one of the young men asked me, “You talk about perseverance and tenacity but when do you give up? There must be a point when you have to walk away.” The answer I gave was that we often equate not quitting with the incremental movements towards an objective rather than the commitment and perseverance to follow a long-term compass setting.
