So about the DIP.

I would probably have a video on that as I feel there is more that one post can fit it, but let’s capture a couple of takeaways.

The subtitle says - know when to quit and when to stick (in short).
Sounds provocative, however, believe me or not- the idea behind is … pum - pum..

How to be the best in the world!
And the key to it is

👉🏽PERSISTENCE.

▪️ what is this DIP?

When you are on your journey, no matter whether it is career, sports, business, education, it’s fun at the start.
However, in a while it turns to be pretty hard, you can feel scared, exhausted, unmotivated.. and this curve is the DIP.
Many people quit fast as they cannot bear this load. But if you continue pushing forward, the curve will turn into a slope and will bring you up to the top 👆🏽

Good example from the book - snowboarding 🏂. There are much fewer snowboarders than skiers. Snowboarding is harder. At the start you fall a lot, you do not know how to balance, you feel pain. This is the dip. Many people quit, and few pass it through.
Thus, if you feel you are deep in the dip, chances are you are close to start getting up.

👉🏽Second takeaway is to know what to quit. To be the best you need to be focused and make sure you dedicate your capacity to the right direction.
Not only this, many endeavours can lead nowhere and it’s OK to quit them if they are not bringing you closer to the top and invest your powers into the right direction.

👉🏽Third - when to quit. Some DIPs are too deep. This might be not the right moment for this goal, or you do not have enough resources to persist further. Instead of making a reactive decision to quit when it turned to be super hard, make a deal with yourself from the start. Write down in what circumstances to quit the process so that when you are at the dip you have a clear action plan - to continue or not.

Thoughts? 💭

Life is the thing that is happening to you in between of achieving your goals.

Results are fleeting. You get it and you do not care of it anymore. Enjoy the process. Enjoy the road to your goals. Enjoy the people you meet and value the people who are WITH you on your journey.

You are creating the CORE memories together in between of the goal events. Take care of those who are with you in every moment, whether it is fun or hard one.

Wish you all create bright and amazing memories with your beloved ones in 2023 and let this year bring us peace and happiness🥰

Happy New Year guys 🍾🎊🎉
