The author argues that quitting is often the best strategy for achieving success in any pursuit. He explains that every worthwhile endeavor has a dip, a period of time when progress is slow and difficult. The dip is the point at which most people give up and quit. However, according to Godin, this is the wrong approach. Instead, he suggests that people should quit early and often, so they can focus their energy on the pursuits that truly matter to them.
