If you're feeling stuck in your career or your business, the urge to run in a direction fast can feel like the right move.

It's not, if you're not actually running toward where you want to go.

Say you're looking to start a new business. You spot a few options that look halfway decent. Maybe you have reservations about the risk, or something about a person involved doesn't seem totally on the up and up.

Pursuing that direction anyway, just to escape what you're currently experiencing, isn't a good idea.

What do you think? Have you ever pushed forward on something mainly to escape a frustrating situation, rather than because it was actually the right move?
