A week into an intensive training program,
new employees at Zappos
are offered $2,000
(as well as their pay for hours worked)
to quit.
This is absolutely brilliant.
Building a great company is tough work.
Employees tempted by this cash
are unlikely to stick it out.
Getting that offer up front
is a test for how badly you TRULY want it.
How many new bloggers,
if offered $2,000 to never blog again,
would save themselves time and money
by quitting early?
Isn’t finding out
today rather than a year from now
worth $2,000 of your own cash?
Next time you start something,
think
‘If someone gave me $2,000
NOT to start,
would I still do it?’
