When to decide when to quit and when to persevere?
Scott Belsky, Seth Godin, James Altiture, Debbie Millman, Chase Jarvis.

- Are the difficulties questioning your core assumptions or just getting you down a bit?
- Knowing all you know now, would you pursue this project again?
- The Dip is the part of the process where it gets super hard before it gets to the final product
- Understand that you are very rarely the first person in history to go through this process. Put your resources into similar projects where people have gone through the dip
- Do you have more assets than you had a week or a year ago, are you getting returns?
- Determine metrics in advance and benchmarks. Don’t quit through the lulls, as long as you’re making small progress every day and hitting those metrics
- What are you more afraid of, heartbreak or rejection, resentment or rejection, regret or rejection?
- Connect your dream to a mission, so that it becomes larger than you, and it’ll allow you to persist in spite of the obstacles
- Do I still believe in what I'm doing, do I care about it?
- Is it still working?
