{"product_id":"the-dip","title":"The Dip","description":"\u003cp class=\"bookstyle\"\u003eIn \u003cb\u003e\"The Dip,\"\u003c\/b\u003e marketing guru Seth Godin challenges the traditional \"winners never quit\" mantra, arguing instead that winners quit all the time—they just quit the right things at the right time. Godin identifies three curves that define any endeavor: \u003cb\u003eThe Dip\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eThe Cul-de-Sac\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eThe Cliff\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"bookstyle\"\u003eThe \"Dip\" is the long, hard slog between starting a new task and mastering it. It is the point where the initial excitement fades and the real work begins. Godin’s thesis is that the Dip is actually your \u003cb\u003ecompetitive advantage\u003c\/b\u003e; if you can push through it, the scarcity of people on the other side creates your value. However, if you are in a \"Cul-de-Sac\" (a dead end) or a \"Cliff\" (a situation leading to disaster), you should quit immediately to reinvest your resources elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"bookstyle\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eKey Strategic Lessons:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"bookstyle\" style=\"margin-left: 36.0pt; text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e·\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e         \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cb\u003eBe the Best in the World:\u003c\/b\u003e Aim for a niche where you can truly excel; being \"average\" is a losing strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"bookstyle\" style=\"margin-left: 36.0pt; text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e·\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e         \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrategic Quitting:\u003c\/b\u003e Quitting as a tactic to focus on where you can win, rather than as a reaction to pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"bookstyle\" style=\"margin-left: 36.0pt; text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e·\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e         \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cb\u003eAverage is for Losers:\u003c\/b\u003e If you aren't willing to push through the Dip to become exceptional, don't start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"bookstyle\"\u003eThe book is a short, punchy manual for anyone trying to navigate the messy middle of a career, project, or relationship.
