When’s the right time to call it quits?

quitter1-e1441787750751Some people just don’t know when to give up.

Like my neighbors who still have a faded and tattered Bernie Sanders sign planted in their front lawn.

Or the numbskulls who thought a third “Bridget Jones” movie — or even a “Blair Witch” reboot — was a smart idea.

There are definitely times to admit defeat. Call it quits. Move on to the next Big Thing.

On the other hand, some people give up too soon.

Worse yet, most of ’em never get started at all.

Like my pal Tod, who’s always talking about “retiring” and becoming his own boss.

He’s talked about it for years, but he grinds on and on unhappily at his corporate desk job.

He’s rattled off all the excuses to me.

“My family needs my company’s health bennies.”

“I’ve gotta get my kids through college first.”

“My wife says she’ll feel insecure if I don’t have a fulltime job.”

Yada, yada, yada.

What all the excuses really add up to is fear. And the biggest and most common source of fear is not having a plan.

Wanna jump off the ol’ 9-to-5 treadmill?

Wanna start your own business?

Don’t do anything until you have a plan.

Lucky for you, you can get hold of a terrific one real easy.
