ALWAYS QUIT.
That doesn’t mean you should bail when things are hard.
It means that you are not a victim to your circumstances.
If the level of the project that you’re taking part in is not up to your standards, you have to leave.
You can’t let other people ruin you.
Your name is all you have.
For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with writer and producer Phil Rosenthal where he shared the secret to doing work that you’re proud of.
Philip Rosenthal is the creator, writer, and executive producer of the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond. He is also the creator and star of Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix, Exporting Raymond, and I'll Have What Phil's Having.
Phil tries to keep his shows at a level that he is happy with. If they’re not working, he is willing to leave and try something else.
