Before you switch business again, check this one thing.
Marketing, then insurance, then co-living, then recruitment.
Those are the four lanes one of my private mentorship clients has moved through, in that order.
Every time a lane got sticky, he decided the lane was wrong for him, and he went looking for a better one.
A couple of weeks ago we finally looked at what was actually sticky each time.
It was the same thing in all four.
Every one of those lanes needed him to persuade people, face to face, again and again, and that's the part of the work he cannot stand.
Four different lanes, and all four ended at the same conversation he didn't want to have with himself.
I told him what I tell everyone at that point.
Everything you do will have problems.
Jumping doesn't fix that, it just resets the clock.
Then I told him to let the recruitment work go anyway.
A hard month is still just a hard month, but persuading people all day was the actual job in that lane, and he was NEVER going to want it.
Name the exact part of the work you've been dodging.
Then ask whether it disappears in the next lane, or whether it shows up again wearing different clothes.
If it shows up again, stay and solve it, because you'll pay that same price later with less time left on the clock.
If it genuinely disappears, go, and go without shame.
He told me it felt like something huge came off his shoulders.
✅ Every lane has a price, and the only real choice is which price you're willing to pay.
Pick one and start paying it.
