How To Deal With The Cul-de-Sac
Success lies in recognizing a situation or relationship as a Cul-de-Sac and not being afraid to quit when you do. All Cul-de-Sacs do is drain your energy and resources, diverting your attention away from making it through a worthwhile Dip.
The Takeaway: Identify the Cul-de-Sac. When the going gets tough, it is time to reexamine your goals and mission statement. It is time to study to find out if you are in a Cul-de-Sac or a Dip. You may find that yes, perseverance is required, or no, you should quit and go on to something better.
