I quit caring so much about what others might think of me. I realized that this life is only my journey, and it's just a waste of energy to worry about the opinions of others. Most of them are just passengers. Of course I am still working on it, but so far it is the most liberating thing I have done.

Well the decision to quit caring is the most important first step. I love this "most of them are just passengers"..

Only after 2 years of doubt I decided quitting my company which I led for 15 years was the best thing to do.

I led it from almost bankrupt when I stepped in to a successful financially healthy company when I sold it.

It was the best but at the same time the most difficult decision.

The rollercoaster ended but then I loved the ride.

That's a great way to look at it Richard, and happy to hear that you can look back at it from a place of appreciation and love for the ride ✌️

I love this Valerie. The idea of the battle that requires you to stop fighting— so good. (And thank you!) ❤️

Thank YOU, hearing your 'quitting story' felt like a homecoming to me in many ways. N.e.v.e.r. a.g.a.i.n. selling physical products also really resonated hah

Tooootally. I’d potentially do it if it was like, print on demand or something where I wasn’t managing logistics or inventory, but never again in that way for me!
