Step 1
Discover everything that you share with the position or person you are cutting ties with. Once you know what you share, you can dissolve each item. If you do not take the time to discover all aspects, you may forget something and not be able to be cut loose in the end.
-
Step 2
Once you have listed all ties you have figure out what it will take to cut the ties. Go about cutting ties in a diligent yet considerate way. There are always two ways of doing things. Remember to use common sense. Do not burn any bridges along the way.
-
Step 3
It is now time to do what is necessary and get out. Prepare for the discussions you will need to have and have them. Waiting for the right time is never a good idea. There is never a great time to cut ties with anything. So go ahead and get it done. Just like you would grip and rip a bandage, the time is now.
-
Step 4
Once you have had your conversation and eliminated all ties go about your business. It is difficult, but do your best not to look back. Chances are you were cutting ties for great reason. So go ahead with your life, continue to look forward.
