Mark! Glad to see your comment here! Yeah, Seth Godin has a lot of brilliant goodness, and I’ll have to give that book a read since you recommended it, provided my speed reading wife doesn’t devour it in an afternoon first (I wish I were kidding).

Hi Jim – nice article. I also watched a lot of the figure skating with my girlfriend and was equally impressed. There’s a great book by marketing guru Seth Godin called “The Dip” that gives a name – (The Dip) – to what you just described. It’s about knowing when to persevere, and when to quit. He says those who achieve big success are willing to work through the hard stuff – the dip – the valley – the pain – to reach their goal. And if you’re not willing to work through the dips, or you see you’re headed toward a dead end – quit now and start over.
