The Power of Quitting and Letting Go
b'Welcome to Big Idea Tuesday!\\xa0\\nOn today\\u2019s Broken Brain Podcast, our host, Dhru Purohit talks about the power of quitting and letting go.\\nWhen\\u2019s the right time to let go of something? A relationship, a project, an investment?\\nSeasoned investors have this great question for determining whether or not they should hold onto an investment. The question goes a little something like this: \\u201cIf I wasn\\u2019t already invested in this business, would I invest in it today, knowing what I know?\\u201d Feel free to replace business with relationship, project or friendship.\\nThe beauty of this question is that it cuts through the rationalization tactics that our mind uses to deal with our fear of loss. Sometimes we\\u2019re so scared of losing something, or admitting that it isn\\u2019t working, that it\\u2019s easier to pretend that it isn\\u2019t an issue than it is to deal with it.\\nThe challenge with pretending is that it just prolongs the inevitable pain and, more importantly, makes it harder to genuinely turn things around.\\nWhen\\u2019s the right time to let go? I\\u2019m not sure there is an easy answer. But one thing that I think would help answer that question is if you notice that the main reason you are holding onto something is primarily because you\\u2019re afraid of losing it.\\nInterested in joining Dhru\\u2019s Broken Brain Podcast Facebook Community?
