I Quit! And Forgot to Tell You.

Posted by kathie on Thursday, February 25

2010 is off and running.  The economy is coming back to life in many sectors.  You may be experiencing some of that activity yourself.

One of my strategies for 2010 is to QUIT doing what isn’t working.  I made big plans in the fourth quarter of 2009 to start this year with some new offerings.  I started campaigns.  I hired specialists. I had high hopes.  BUT I switched gears the first of January when I got a sense of what customers were thinking, buying, and really needing once the year got going. 

So what did I quit?  And what should you be evaluating for yourself?


  • I quit projects that were not leading to revenue in a 90 day window.  That means I have to track, measure, and forecast outcomes on everything.
  • I quit giving time to what isn’t working.  That means I notice what drains or stresses me.  This is everything from organizations, relationships, and even thought processes. 


You know I move at a pretty fast pace (which is why sharing what I quit didn’t occur to me until after the fact).   I am learning tremendous lessons from saying “I Quit!”   Literally.  Out loud!  The power in your voice, the resonance in your body when you speak what you want to call into being is incredible.

Are there other areas in which you need to say “I Quit!” to allow new things into your life and business?  What about….


  • Project control – Do you have tasks or ongoing projects that have been sucking your time, are not in your strengths, and/or not leading to profit? What do you need to stop doing, shift doing, or delegate so you can focus on what matters most for you?
  • Calendar control – Where are you spending your time?  What do you need to quit to free up space and time to do things that are higher pay off
  • People control – Who do you spend your time with?  Who do you need to phase out?  Who do you need to seek out?  This includes customers that drain you as well as your personal and professional relationships.
  • Personal control – What do you need to quit doing so you can start doing things that feed you personally, professionally, and spiritually? 


This communication is intended to be short and to the point, to elicit thought and action on your part (and mine), and encourage you to keep adjusting your game plan this year so you thrive in the current economy.
