The Quitter Method

Nobody's telling you to quit your business.

Just the work that keeps following you home. Every task in your week goes in one of three piles.

Quit it

Stuff nobody should be doing.

  • Software you pay for and never open
  • Redoing work because nobody wrote down how
  • Chasing the same invoice for the fourth time
  • "Quick calls" that eat your whole afternoon
Hand it off

Stuff someone else can do. Probably better.

  • Scheduling and dispatch
  • Estimates and follow-ups
  • Invoicing and getting paid
  • Answering the same five questions every day
Keep it

Stuff only you should do.

  • The big decisions and the numbers that matter
  • Your best customers and key relationships
  • Growing the business
  • Your evenings, weekends and your kids' games

Our story

It started with quitting the wrong things.

The Quitter Method grew out of a lesson founder and coach Justin Spencer learned while working 80-hour weeks: holding on to every part of a business can mean letting go of time with the people who matter most.

After his marriage ended, one of his sons called him “Justin” instead of “Dad.” That moment made him rethink what he was keeping, and what he needed to quit.

You don’t have to quit your business. You need to quit doing everything in it.

Questions

What owners ask before the first call

Do you work with my kind of business?

If you run a business where you or your crew do work for customers, yes. That's lawn care and landscaping, trades like HVAC, plumbing and electrical, cleaning, pools, pest control, auto, salons, property management, contractors and many more. The Quitter Method is about how your business runs, not which service you sell, so it works across the service industry.

Can I just use the app without coaching?

Yes. Most people start there. The basic QuitList is free, and QuitList Team (hand-offs, repeating tasks and more, for up to 10 people) is $9.99 a month. QuitDebt, our money app, starts at $14.99 a month. No call needed. Start free →

How much time does it take each week?

About an hour and a half: a weekly session with your coach (45 to 60 minutes), plus one short class (10 to 20 minutes) and one action (30 to 45 minutes) between sessions. Never more than that, because you're already running a business. Every fifth week is a catch-up week. Start is different: plan on 3 to 4 hours a week, because you're testing an idea with real customers.

Is it in person or online?

Online. Weekly sessions are live on Zoom, with short video lessons and a paper workbook, so we work with owners anywhere in the U.S. No travel needed.

Can you just do some of it for me?

Yes, when it makes sense. Our team can set up software, build AI and automations, write SOPs with you, train your crew, or come in and fix what's broken. That's quoted separately, only when you want it. We can also refer you to trusted people for things outside what we do.

How much does coaching cost?

It depends on your program and how much hands-on help you want. Every program includes QuitDebt Complete, our money app, free while your coaching is active. Details After a free 15-minute call, you get a written proposal with the full price before you commit to anything.
