To Quit or Not to Quit Your Cushy Job

by

I haven’t read Quitter by Jon Acuff and after my client mentioned it to me by sharing a passage from the book, I am pretty glad I did not see it when I was on the verge of leaving my corporate hell in May of 2011. Without reading the book, it is not fair to pass judgment but from that single passage, I’m pretty sure I won’t be reading so best not to talk so much about Quitter as to talk about what I think you should do when it comes to quitting or not quitting your cushy job.
