936. The Wrong Train Rule for Bad Hires, Bad Clients, and Bad Bets
A saying about trains has been making the rounds online, usually labeled an ancient Japanese proverb. Brian checked, and its origins are a mystery, but the lesson inside it is one every business owner needs. Get on the wrong train and every extra stop costs you twice. In this episode, Brian looks at where entrepreneurs most often find themselves headed the wrong way, why smart people stay on long after they know better, and the difference between a train that's wrong and one that's just slow. He also brings in an idea from decision strategist Annie Duke's book Quit that explains why walking away at the right moment almost never feels right. The episode closes with a short exercise for the one decision you've probably been putting off. -- Get on the list to receive Brian's monthly newsletter: https://nodaysoff.com/subscribe/ Tune in to this podcast every weekday morning for 10 minutes or less as Brian shares lessons and stories about how to make positive changes in your life and business, one day at a time.
