In the latest episode of the Creative Penn podcast, Joanna Penn and Orna Ross discuss Quit: The Power of Knowing When To Walk Away by Annie Duke and give examples of what they have quit around writing, book marketing, and more. Specifically, they discuss:
- Why we need to reframe quitting — and why it’s so hard to do
- Getting over sunk cost fallacy
- Why Orna quit a whole series of non-fiction books
- Why Joanna quit her Books and Travel Podcast
- Other things you might want to quit: social media platforms, blogging, an author name, a book series, writing a book that’s taking forever, marketing a book that isn’t selling, a business model, a day job, being a full-time author, a city or even a country
- How quitting makes room for you to create something new
