#3393: When It Makes Sense To "Burn Bridges"
About this episode
You’ve probably heard people say you should never burn bridges. They tell you to leave on good terms, be polite, and keep the door open no matter what. But I’m here to flip that. There are times in life when burning the bridge is exactly what you need to do. In this episode, I’ll explain why sometimes you need to make it impossible to go back, and why that can be the best move for your future.
Show Notes:
[01:50]#1 You never want to go back, you know you never will, and you want to make sure you never do.
[08:32]#2 When you want to give yourself no option but to move forward and not allow yourself to slow down or step backwards.
[19:34]#3 When you realize the comfort and ease have been detrimental to you because of the temptation of and your easy access to them.
