I came across some intriguing quotes from Seth Godin’s new book, The Dip.
- “Winners quit all the time. They just quit the right stuff at the right time.”
- “We fail when we get distracted by tasks we don’t have the guts to quit.”
- “Strategic quitting is the secret of successful organizations.”
A lot of churches need to quit certain things in order to move ahead. Quit traditions and outdated methods. Quit mindsets (easier said that quitted). Quit funding certain budget categories. Quit employing certain professional roadblocks.
Find a new system for following up visitors. Adopt a different order of service (or none at all–surprise people every week). If your church isn’t moving forward, you probably not only need to do something new, but you need to quit something.
