00:00:30	00:00:33	for example i use this framework for
00:00:32	00:00:36	relationships projects marketing
00:00:33	00:00:38	strategies everything i also want to
00:00:36	00:00:40	stress that quitting or moving on does
00:00:38	00:00:43	not necessarily mean that you are giving
00:00:40	00:00:45	up sometimes moving on simply involves a
00:00:43	00:00:47	pivot or a mindset shift that can change
00:00:45	00:00:49	your perspective on how you feel now
00:00:47	00:00:51	it's also important to note that we all
00:00:49	00:00:53	have baggage in our lives which could be
00:00:51	00:00:55	your job or your business that need to
00:00:53	00:00:57	be called without even realizing it we
00:00:55	00:00:59	all put up with activities or people who
00:00:57	00:01:01	drain us of our energy because we are
00:00:59	00:01:03	afraid to rock the boat now the
00:01:01	00:01:05	framework that i'm about to teach you
00:01:03	00:01:07	will help put an end to your misery and
00:01:05	00:01:09	by answering these questions you'll
00:01:07	00:01:11	achieve clarity and understand exactly
00:01:09	00:01:13	what you must do but before we begin i
00:01:11	00:01:15	want to emphasize that in order for this
00:01:13	00:01:17	process to work you have to write down
00:01:15	00:01:19	everything every single question i'm
00:01:17	00:01:21	about to ask you must be typed or
00:01:19	00:01:23	handwritten in a document
00:01:21	00:01:26	also you must force yourself to assign a
00:01:23	00:01:28	number to each of your answers as well
00:01:26	00:01:30	numbers don't lie and they allow you to
00:01:28	00:01:32	quantify and justify the results in your
00:01:30	00:01:33	mind before taking action
00:01:32	00:01:35	by the way some of you watching this
00:01:33	00:01:37	video are used to using your gut to make
00:01:35	00:01:39	big decisions and using your gut is
00:01:37	00:01:41	great but sometimes your gut doesn't
00:01:39	00:01:42	know the answer sometimes you're just
00:01:41	00:01:44	hungry
00:01:42	00:01:46	all right question number one is your
00:01:44	00:01:48	job or business limiting your growth now
00:01:46	00:01:49	when it comes to quitting your job or
00:01:48	00:01:51	shutting down your business the first
00:01:49	00:01:54	and easiest question to ask yourself is
00:01:51	00:01:56	whether you are settling or compromising
00:01:54	00:01:57	your potential are you working at a job
00:01:56	00:01:59	or running a business that has a low
00:01:57	00:02:02	ceiling and doesn't exercise your brain
00:01:59	00:02:03	to its fullest potential for example
00:02:02	00:02:05	let's say you're selling cheap chinese
00:02:03	00:02:07	junk with your aliexpress drop shipping
00:02:05	00:02:09	business and providing almost zero value
00:02:07	00:02:10	to your end customer even though you
00:02:09	00:02:13	might be making a couple bucks here and
00:02:10	00:02:14	there is selling junk with zero quality
00:02:13	00:02:16	control a sustainable business that will
00:02:14	00:02:17	continue to grow
00:02:16	00:02:19	are you working in a day job where you
00:02:17	00:02:21	have stopped learning are you just going
00:02:19	00:02:23	through the motions at work every day
00:02:21	00:02:25	just for the sake of a steady paycheck
00:02:23	00:02:27	and can you see yourself growing at your
00:02:25	00:02:29	current position now my friend nathan
00:02:27	00:02:31	berry was making a healthy six-figure
00:02:29	00:02:33	income selling courses and e-books when
00:02:31	00:02:35	he realized that he wanted to work on
00:02:33	00:02:37	something bigger so he made the
00:02:35	00:02:39	difficult decision to shut down his
00:02:37	00:02:41	course business and started convertkit
00:02:39	00:02:42	one of the best email marketing software
00:02:41	00:02:44	companies in the world
00:02:42	00:02:46	now for this question i want you to
00:02:44	00:02:48	write down one of the following two
00:02:46	00:02:50	statements and assign a number from 1 to
00:02:48	00:02:52	10 where 10 is the best
00:02:50	00:02:54	my business or job offers the potential
00:02:52	00:02:57	to grow and challenge me to the best of
00:02:54	00:03:00	my abilities or my business or job does
00:02:57	00:03:02	not offer the potential to grow and
00:03:00	00:03:04	challenge me to the best of my abilities
00:03:02	00:03:06	then give it a number from 1 to 10 where
00:03:04	00:03:08	a 10 indicates that you're being
00:03:06	00:03:10	challenged and growing all right
00:03:08	00:03:12	question number two have you put your
00:03:10	00:03:14	best foot forward now have you tried
00:03:12	00:03:15	your best to improve your situation and
00:03:14	00:03:17	have you done everything in your power
00:03:15	00:03:19	to grow your business or are you just
00:03:17	00:03:21	giving up at the first sign of hardship
00:03:19	00:03:23	now for most people the answer this
00:03:21	00:03:25	question cannot be answered objectively
00:03:23	00:03:27	and you must seek out a neutral third
00:03:25	00:03:29	party for a real answer now over the
00:03:27	00:03:31	years i've received countless emails
00:03:29	00:03:32	from small business owners complaining
00:03:31	00:03:34	that it's impossible to start a
00:03:32	00:03:36	successful ecommerce store steve i've
00:03:34	00:03:38	tried every marketing strategy out there
00:03:36	00:03:40	this is never going to work steve i
00:03:38	00:03:42	tried selling online but every product i
00:03:40	00:03:44	could think of had too much competition
00:03:42	00:03:46	one time i decided to challenge one of
00:03:44	00:03:48	my readers who claimed to have tried
00:03:46	00:03:50	everything but when i went to take a
00:03:48	00:03:51	look at their website her online store
00:03:50	00:03:53	looked horrible there were spelling
00:03:51	00:03:55	errors grammatikal mistakes and the
00:03:53	00:03:57	photography was terrible it's no wonder
00:03:55	00:03:59	that her online store was a failure
00:03:57	00:04:01	because she didn't even complete the
00:03:59	00:04:02	basics correctly so when it comes to
00:04:01	00:04:04	putting your best foot forward with your
00:04:02	00:04:06	business you can't really claim to have
00:04:04	00:04:09	tried everything until you've overcome
00:04:06	00:04:10	at least one major obstacle you can't
00:04:09	00:04:12	claim to put your best foot forward
00:04:10	00:04:14	without soliciting outside help now this
00:04:12	00:04:16	principle applies to your day job as
00:04:14	00:04:17	well have you spoken to your boss to
00:04:16	00:04:19	discuss other roles that might be more
00:04:17	00:04:21	fulfilling now before running off your
00:04:19	00:04:23	job or your business make sure that
00:04:21	00:04:24	you've given it your all knowing that
00:04:23	00:04:26	you've tried your best to rectify your
00:04:24	00:04:28	situation is extremely important in
00:04:26	00:04:31	order to move on in good conscience
00:04:28	00:04:33	there should be no regrets so write down
00:04:31	00:04:34	one of the following two statements i
00:04:33	00:04:37	put my best foot forward to make things
00:04:34	00:04:38	work or there are additional avenues i
00:04:37	00:04:40	haven't tried yet to improve my
00:04:38	00:04:42	situation
00:04:40	00:04:44	then assign a number from one to ten
00:04:42	00:04:46	where a one indicates you have tried
00:04:44	00:04:48	everything in your power
00:04:46	00:04:50	question number three is your business
00:04:48	00:04:52	or job sparking more joy than
00:04:50	00:04:53	frustration now most likely you aren't
00:04:52	00:04:55	watching this video unless you're
00:04:53	00:04:57	sufficiently frustrated but a simple
00:04:55	00:04:59	question to ask yourself is whether you
00:04:57	00:05:01	are still enjoying the journey are there
00:04:59	00:05:03	more positives and negatives and is your
00:05:01	00:05:05	time worth the added stress
00:05:03	00:05:07	now when my businesses were making 4x my
00:05:05	00:05:09	day job salary i was actually making 8x
00:05:07	00:05:11	when i finally quit i debated whether to
00:05:09	00:05:12	quit but i loved my job so much that i
00:05:11	00:05:14	was willing to stay despite the
00:05:12	00:05:17	inconvenience of having to commute to a
00:05:14	00:05:18	physical office now when my wife and i
00:05:17	00:05:20	started our online store and received no
00:05:18	00:05:21	sales in the first couple months the
00:05:20	00:05:24	thought of shutting it down had crossed
00:05:21	00:05:25	my mind but i was learning so much and
00:05:24	00:05:27	having so much fun that i was willing to
00:05:25	00:05:29	stik it out for better or for worse so
00:05:27	00:05:32	for this question write down one of the
00:05:29	00:05:34	following two statements my business or
00:05:32	00:05:37	job provides more enjoyment than stress
00:05:34	00:05:38	or my business or job provides more
00:05:37	00:05:41	stress than enjoyment
00:05:38	00:05:43	then give it a number from 1 to 10 where
00:05:41	00:05:44	a 10 indicates that your business sparks
00:05:43	00:05:46	joy
00:05:44	00:05:49	question number 4 is your business or
00:05:46	00:05:50	job detrimental to your health now the
00:05:49	00:05:52	word health for this question can apply
00:05:50	00:05:54	to many aspects of your life so for
00:05:52	00:05:56	example does your business negatively
00:05:54	00:05:58	impact your own health mental or
00:05:56	00:06:00	physical the healthier marriage the
00:05:58	00:06:03	healthier relationship with friends the
00:06:00	00:06:04	healthier relationship with your kids so
00:06:03	00:06:07	first of all you have to decide how much
00:06:04	00:06:08	you value each of what i just mentioned
00:06:07	00:06:10	some entrepreneurs claim to put family
00:06:08	00:06:12	and marriage first but then do the
00:06:10	00:06:14	complete opposite other entrepreneurs
00:06:12	00:06:16	sacrifice their own health to maintain
00:06:14	00:06:18	their business and family and the key is
00:06:16	00:06:20	understanding what you truly value
00:06:18	00:06:21	then you must ask yourself how
00:06:20	00:06:24	detrimental it is for you to stay in
00:06:21	00:06:26	your current situation is your business
00:06:24	00:06:28	or job worth the toll on your mental and
00:06:26	00:06:30	physical health now the answer to this
00:06:28	00:06:33	question requires only a number write
00:06:30	00:06:35	down a number from 1 to 10 where a 10
00:06:33	00:06:37	indicates that your business or job does
00:06:35	00:06:39	not affect your health whatsoever
00:06:37	00:06:41	question number five does your job or
00:06:39	00:06:43	business compromise your beliefs now
00:06:41	00:06:45	money often does strange things to
00:06:43	00:06:47	people and excessive greed can sometimes
00:06:45	00:06:49	lead to compromise it's a slippery slope
00:06:47	00:06:51	and as humans we sometimes make
00:06:49	00:06:53	decisions purely based on the money
00:06:51	00:06:55	without thinking about the effects on
00:06:53	00:06:56	other people or the environment so for
00:06:55	00:06:58	example let's say that you started a
00:06:56	00:07:00	successful business selling diamonds but
00:06:58	00:07:01	later discovered that millions of
00:07:00	00:07:03	innocent women and children were being
00:07:01	00:07:05	exploited to mine and produce your
00:07:03	00:07:07	products would you be fine with that
00:07:05	00:07:09	what if the company that you work for is
00:07:07	00:07:12	responsible for dumping toxic waste into
00:07:09	00:07:14	the ocean now sometimes our business or
00:07:12	00:07:16	job silently kills us on the inside even
00:07:14	00:07:17	though the money is good you may have to
00:07:16	00:07:19	ask yourself whether you're working on a
00:07:17	00:07:21	project that you believe in is your
00:07:19	00:07:22	business or job turning you into someone
00:07:21	00:07:24	you hate
00:07:22	00:07:26	my buddy derek halpern used to run a
00:07:24	00:07:28	successful business publishing
00:07:26	00:07:29	entertainment news and gossip before
00:07:28	00:07:32	deciding that it didn't make him feel
00:07:29	00:07:33	good inside so he shut it down and now
00:07:32	00:07:36	runs a multi-million dollar business
00:07:33	00:07:37	selling health food over at trovani so
00:07:36	00:07:39	for this question write down one of the
00:07:37	00:07:41	following statements
00:07:39	00:07:43	my business or job adds value to the
00:07:41	00:07:46	world and i believe in what i do
00:07:43	00:07:48	or my business or job does not add much
00:07:46	00:07:50	value to the world i could do better
00:07:48	00:07:52	then assign a number from 1 to 10 where
00:07:50	00:07:56	a 10 indicates that you feel strongly in
00:07:52	00:07:57	what you do or the service you provide
00:07:56	00:07:59	question number six how often do you
00:07:57	00:08:01	think about quitting now the answer this
00:07:59	00:08:03	question is often the best indicator of
00:08:01	00:08:05	whether you should quit your job or move
00:08:03	00:08:06	on from your business how often do you
00:08:05	00:08:08	think about quitting is it every single
00:08:06	00:08:09	minute of every day or is it only
00:08:08	00:08:12	something that you think about
00:08:09	00:08:13	occasionally like once per month now the
00:08:12	00:08:15	most telling signal of whether you
00:08:13	00:08:17	should quit is how your situation makes
00:08:15	00:08:19	you feel for example when you think
00:08:17	00:08:21	about your business or job does it put
00:08:19	00:08:23	you in a bad mood does thinking about
00:08:21	00:08:26	your situation ruin your entire day does
00:08:23	00:08:27	it stop you from sleeping well at night
00:08:26	00:08:29	now if negative thoughts about your
00:08:27	00:08:31	business or day job consume your mind
00:08:29	00:08:32	all the time then that's a leading
00:08:31	00:08:34	indicator that you need to get out of
00:08:32	00:08:36	there now the answer to this question
00:08:34	00:08:39	requires only a number jot down a number
00:08:36	00:08:42	from 1 to 10 where a 10 indicates that
00:08:39	00:08:43	you rarely think about quitting and a1
00:08:42	00:08:45	indicates that you think about quitting
00:08:43	00:08:46	all the time
00:08:45	00:08:49	question 7 what's keeping you in your
00:08:46	00:08:50	current situation now we all do things
00:08:49	00:08:52	that we don't want to do because we're
00:08:50	00:08:54	afraid of the consequences and when it
00:08:52	00:08:56	comes to a soul-sucking job
00:08:54	00:08:58	most people work because they don't know
00:08:56	00:08:59	how to make money otherwise most people
00:08:58	00:09:01	are afraid to quit their jobs because
00:08:59	00:09:03	they don't have the confidence to
00:09:01	00:09:05	succeed on their own
00:09:03	00:09:07	sometimes people stay in a bad situation
00:09:05	00:09:08	out of obligation i have a friend who
00:09:07	00:09:10	helps run her family business even
00:09:08	00:09:12	though she hates it but she doesn't want
00:09:10	00:09:14	to disappoint her parents and she's
00:09:12	00:09:15	afraid of confrontation
00:09:14	00:09:17	i have another friend who runs a
00:09:15	00:09:19	business with a good friend but her
00:09:17	00:09:21	partner isn't pulling her weight and in
00:09:19	00:09:22	this case do you cut ties and risk
00:09:21	00:09:24	ruining the friendship
00:09:22	00:09:26	the best way to deal with situations
00:09:24	00:09:28	involving fear of the unknown is to
00:09:26	00:09:30	analyze all the possible outcomes
00:09:28	00:09:32	if you are scared of quitting your job
00:09:30	00:09:34	to start a business ask yourself what's
00:09:32	00:09:36	the worst that could happen if the
00:09:34	00:09:38	business completely failed then come up
00:09:36	00:09:40	with a backup plan so for example when
00:09:38	00:09:42	my wife and i started bumblebee linens
00:09:40	00:09:44	our backup plan was to simply go back to
00:09:42	00:09:46	work if our business failed when you
00:09:44	00:09:48	outline and create a backup plan for
00:09:46	00:09:49	every positive negative scenario it
00:09:48	00:09:51	makes your decision to move on
00:09:49	00:09:52	infinitely easier because it takes fear
00:09:51	00:09:54	out of the equation
00:09:52	00:09:55	so before you answer the question of
00:09:54	00:09:58	what's keeping you in your current
00:09:55	00:09:59	situation jot down all the possible
00:09:58	00:10:00	outcomes and come up with a plan of
00:09:59	00:10:03	action
00:10:00	00:10:04	then assign a number from 1 to 10 where
00:10:03	00:10:07	a 10 indicates that there are dire
00:10:04	00:10:09	consequences for quitting and a1
00:10:07	00:10:12	indicates that quitting isn't a big deal
00:10:09	00:10:14	question number 8 is it too late to
00:10:12	00:10:15	change your attitude now when it comes
00:10:14	00:10:18	to every situation in business and life
00:10:15	00:10:19	your attitude determines everything for
00:10:18	00:10:21	example when sales were non-existent
00:10:19	00:10:23	from my business in the early going i
00:10:21	00:10:25	could have reacted to my situation in
00:10:23	00:10:28	two completely different ways
00:10:25	00:10:30	it's game over man game over no one's
00:10:28	00:10:30	gonna buy these stupid hankies screw
00:10:30	00:10:33	this
00:10:30	00:10:35	or this sucks but i'm gaining many new
00:10:33	00:10:37	skills that will benefit other aspects
00:10:35	00:10:39	of my life even though the money is not
00:10:37	00:10:40	where i want to be yet i'm enjoying the
00:10:39	00:10:41	journey
00:10:40	00:10:42	now do you see the difference in
00:10:41	00:10:44	attitude
00:10:42	00:10:46	oftentimes we want to quit because our
00:10:44	00:10:48	mindset is not where it should be so if
00:10:46	00:10:50	you're angry or resentful towards your
00:10:48	00:10:52	job or your business you're effectively
00:10:50	00:10:53	giving up already you can no longer be
00:10:52	00:10:56	objective so before you make the
00:10:53	00:10:58	decision to give up try to enumerate all
00:10:56	00:11:00	the positives of staying in your current
00:10:58	00:11:02	situation sometimes seeing the positives
00:11:00	00:11:05	and the potential benefits written down
00:11:02	00:11:07	in a document can reframe your dilemma
00:11:05	00:11:08	in a completely different light so for
00:11:07	00:11:09	this question write down one of the
00:11:08	00:11:12	following statements
00:11:09	00:11:14	i'm analyzing my situation with a clear
00:11:12	00:11:16	and open mind or two i'm angry or
00:11:14	00:11:18	resentful with my situation and it will
00:11:16	00:11:19	be difficult to overcome
00:11:18	00:11:22	then assign a number from one to ten
00:11:19	00:11:24	where a one indicates that you're at max
00:11:22	00:11:26	anger or resentment now what do we do
00:11:24	00:11:27	with all these scores and everything
00:11:26	00:11:28	that we've written down now if you've
00:11:27	00:11:30	taken the time to think through all the
00:11:28	00:11:32	questions you probably already have the
00:11:30	00:11:34	answer that you seek but for engineers
00:11:32	00:11:36	such as myself i try to let the numbers
00:11:34	00:11:38	do all the toking so take the numbers
00:11:36	00:11:40	that you assign for all eight questions
00:11:38	00:11:43	that i just toked about and tally them
00:11:40	00:11:45	up now if your total is less than 20 you
00:11:43	00:11:47	got to get out of there now
00:11:45	00:11:49	if your number is between 20 and 39 you
00:11:47	00:11:50	most likely need to quit but delay
00:11:49	00:11:52	judgment for a couple of weeks to make
00:11:50	00:11:55	sure your feelings don't change if your
00:11:52	00:11:57	score is between 40 and 55 your
00:11:55	00:11:59	situation is mediocre not great not
00:11:57	00:12:01	horrible so it's a judgment call on your
00:11:59	00:12:03	part but in case you're asian and
00:12:01	00:12:06	reading this a 55 out of 80 is still a
00:12:03	00:12:08	failing grade i'd still probably quit if
00:12:06	00:12:10	your score is above 55 your situation
00:12:08	00:12:12	doesn't seem that bad stik it out and
00:12:10	00:12:13	see if you can get your score closer to
00:12:12	00:12:15	80.
00:12:13	00:12:16	now if your numbers still aren't
00:12:15	00:12:18	providing you with the answers that you
00:12:16	00:12:20	need you can assign weighting factors to
00:12:18	00:12:22	make certain questions worth more than
00:12:20	00:12:24	others so for example i value the health
00:12:22	00:12:27	of my family and my well-being above all
00:12:24	00:12:29	else so i always give more weight to
00:12:27	00:12:31	question number four now if your quit
00:12:29	00:12:33	score is between 40 and 55 and you have
00:12:31	00:12:34	no idea what to do here's my general
00:12:33	00:12:36	philosophy
00:12:34	00:12:37	do you want to go through life living at
00:12:36	00:12:39	50
00:12:37	00:12:41	and is 50 good enough for you
00:12:39	00:12:44	if you can see a legit path to raising
00:12:41	00:12:46	that 50 to 90 or more in your current
00:12:44	00:12:49	situation then you should stay suck it
00:12:46	00:12:50	up and do the work but if your situation
00:12:49	00:12:53	is already toxic then just get out of
00:12:50	00:12:54	there regardless the simple act of
00:12:53	00:12:56	asking yourself these questions and
00:12:54	00:12:58	writing everything down will help you
00:12:56	00:13:00	achieve clarity and in most cases
00:12:58	00:13:02	telling up the numbers won't be
00:13:00	00:13:04	necessary because you'll just know based
00:13:02	00:13:06	on your responses
00:13:04	00:13:08	but fear should never be a reason not to
00:13:06	00:13:11	move on because the worst thing that can
00:13:08	00:13:13	happen to you is spending another year
00:13:11	00:13:15	getting your soul sucked out of you and
00:13:13	00:13:17	the worst possible outcome is not giving
00:13:15	00:13:19	yourself the chance to realize your true
00:13:17	00:13:20	potential
00:13:19	00:13:22	hope you enjoyed this video now if you
