In an ideal situation, quits don't happen TO us, they're orchestrated BY us. However, sometimes we're forced into a quit, and it's then up to us to learn from that experience and use what we've learned the next time things need a change. This week's guest, Sarah Hassaine, did just that. When life dealt her a quit she didn't see coming, she took everything she learned from that situation and used it when she later found herself in a job that wasn't working for her.
