I was thinking the other day as I was watching “The Mentalist” (TV Series), in so many of the episodes, they come to a point where they are just at a DEAD END, they don't know what to do, they are stuck, they can't solve the problem, they can't find the answer, they can't find the solution.

Sometimes it's about finding murderers, others times it's just about figuring out how did this happen, who did whatever crimes and different things.

1. Forget Sunken Cost
The first one is, FORGET sunken cost. Now this is a business term, it's a little bit technical, but this is something that's really been a big part of my experience and you often are looking at what you have already INVESTED.

You've spent years in a relationship, or you've already built a career in this niche, or you've been investing so much in developing your business around a certain product, or you've been in a marriage that you really struggled with and it's been very difficult for so many years and you're just hoping that one more year, one more situation.
Experiencing Divorce
Now I am not knocking marriage, and I believe that we should fight to the end, but my experience, for example,
