the dip
kornel | April 9, 2008the dip
from time to time we have a moment during our projects (both professional and personal), that we think we reached a dead end. this might be a straightforward situation (there is no chance to proceed, there are obstacles that we cannot overcome) or something what is called a dip.
I have recently read a little book by Seith Godin titled ‘the dip’ and it talks about exactly this situation. as the book’s subtitle reads – it is about when to quit, and when to proceed.
the illustration of the dip is a place where you are before mounting the success mountain.
it could be some kind of obstacle that you might need to figure out how to overcome, and as soon as you have done it things roll from there. but sometimes the dip is so deep that we cannot see the mountain at the horizon, only a dark wall in front.
how do we distinguish between a dip and a dead end?
more to come…
