Have you ever asked yourself - what is the one thing that will guarantee your success in business and life?
Actually, that's not a fair question. I know the answer already because of the email we've exchanged before, and your interest in the 'Money and Meaning Movie' we enjoyed together last year.
Conventional wisdom says a lot of things about "never giving up." "Success" means persevering and never quitting, since "quitting is for losers." Right?
Well, there's possibly a very different - and useful - point of view. A contrarian one that might shake you out of your rut. Are you ready for a shakedown this week, my dear business owner? :-)
If you said 'Sure, Andrea!' read on to find out why New York Times Bestselling author, Seth Godin, recommends you quit instead of persevering. Hmmm...
You've probably heard of Seth. He's not only one of the best marketing experts on the planet, but he's also the author of the bestselling books, Permission Marketing and Purple Cow, and a highly sought-after speaker.
The thing is, there are two BIG chances to hear Seth live on an invitation-only conference call coming up. On these *open house* calls, you will learn why quitting may be the best thing you can do for the growth of your business, your relationships and your happiness - really.
These calls are being hosted by two well-respected entrepreneurs and business visionaries:
CALL #1 WITH SETH
On Thursday, June 21st, at 2pm ET, hear Andy Wibbels, blogging expert and author of Blogwild, interview Seth about his new book, The Dip, and how quitting has everything to do with becoming the "best in the world."

CALL #2 WITH SETH

Important Note: These are two separate calls and BOTH are invitation-only, and no-fee. BUT it's important that you realize how valuable the calls really are - and attend them ready with that mindset, okay?
Register even if you can't attend in order to receive the recording AND yes, it is OKAY to want to register for both. The material will be similar in theme but obviously very different. Andy and Rich have very different minds and will elicit unique thought patterns from you through their questions.
Personally speaking I can tell you I'm in the middle of a big dip myself. And I'm enjoying the concepts Seth's presenting very much. They're useful, doable and enjoyable, and I wish I had them years ago when I was stuck
trying to make something work when I should have quit.
Here are the registration links again:
