      I’m torn on stuff like this.

      Like all good things must come to an end, and is it better to quit at the bottom? At the top?

      I feel like quitting before things start getting desperate and on a high note is the way. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

      Is an Entrepreneur a failure because they closed their business? What if they are just done and want to move onto the next chapter.

        On the other hand, you never know what the high point is. If you have something good and quit just to quit at the high point, you don’t know if your next thing would be even better. If you quit when you’ve already crashed and burned, at least you know it has ran its course. Yet on another hand(if you can say that), with that mindset one might apply the sunken cost fallacy and go on for way too long…

          But that’s what other people expect, what about your personal goals? If the passion is gone, does it matter if the next project is better? What if it’s not, and then it’s too late.

          As you said sunk cost, may want to try and salvage the ruined reputation before hanging it up.
