How to Avoid Quitter’s Day and Build Momentum When Most People Fall Off

David Greenspan Season 8 Episode 368

Quitter’s Day is when most people quietly fall off their goals — not with a big decision, but by drifting.

In this episode of The MindShare Podcast, David Greenspan delivers a no-fluff reality check on why momentum dies in January and how the choices you make right now determine whether spring feels exciting… or desperate.

This isn’t a motivational episode. It’s a strategic one.

David breaks down:

  • What Quitter’s Day actually represents
  • Why emotional thinking kills momentum
  • The difference between strategic results and emotional results
  • How small compromises quietly derail big goals
  • Why pipeline pressure in April is created in January
  • What to track daily if you want real momentum

If you’re a REALTOR®, entrepreneur, or business owner who wants to stay disciplined when most people drift, this episode will force an honest look at what you’re doing — and what you’re avoiding.
