Seth Godin's "The Dip" talks about this and knowing the difference between a dip and a cul-de-sac.

Agreed. "The-Dip" is a great read on this topic. His basic premise is great in the sense that it's not about quitting or sticking into something for sake of stubbornness.

It's all about knowing what It'll take to quit before hand, see if it's worth starting, and improve the odds of making it past the dip.
