The Weekly Legend

Let’s face it, entrepreneurship can sometimes feel like you're juggling flaming swords while riding a unicycle.

There are moments it seems easier to just QUIT.

But you are better than that. 

Buckle up because today, we’re talking about something that every entrepreneur needs: GRIT.

What’s GRIT, Anyway?

The first time I heard this term was at a mastermind I attended 12 years ago,  it sounded like a bunch of nasty dirt…why the heck would I need that?

Yes I had heard the term, but as I listened to this business owner talk about GRIT…I realized how absolutely crucial it was. 

I needed it.  

I wanted it.

Crap…I already had it, but what more can I do. 

This word has recently come back up in our own community and it would be a disservice to you for me not to speak on it more. 

GRIT is that relentless fire in your belly, the unyielding determination to keep pushing forward even when the going gets tough. 

It's not about talent or luck.

It's about guts, resilience, and a stubborn refusal to give up. 

Think of GRIT as your secret weapon, your ace up the sleeve that says, “Hey, world, I’m here to stay!”

As Friday’s guest on Wake Up Legendary shared…he listened to Dave’s Millionaire Mindset Audio and now has a post-it note that he reads every day…”I will outlast everyone.”

You see, building something from scratch isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. 

There will be days when you feel like banging your head against the wall, wondering if it’s all worth it. 

I'm here to remind you…

 It ABSOLUTELY IS! 

But only if you’ve got the GRIT to push through those tough times. 

Entrepreneurs need GRIT to:

• Bounce Back from Failures: Every setback is a setup for a comeback. With GRIT, you don’t stay down; you get up, dust yourself off, and charge forward.
• Stay Focused: Distractions are everywhere. GRIT keeps your eyes on the prize, no matter what shiny object tries to lure you away.
• Keep the Passion Alive: When the initial excitement wears off, GRIT keeps the flame burning, driving you to continue even when the novelty fades.

You’re probably thinking, “Alright, I’m sold. But how do I get this magical GRIT?” 

Here’s some tips:

1. Set Clear Goals: Know what you want, and make a plan to get there. Clarity fuels GRIT.
2. Embrace Challenges: See obstacles as opportunities to grow, not roadblocks.
3. Stay Persistent: Consistency is key. Show up every day, even when it’s tough.
4. Cultivate a Positive Mindset: Believe in yourself and your mission. Positivity is a GRIT amplifier.
5. Surround Yourself with the Right People: Connect with fellow warriors who inspire and support you.

PLUS, it’s a heck of alot easier to understand and embrace this concept when you hear others share their stories of GRIT.

Thursday and Friday’s episodes of Wake Up Legendary dove deep into GRIT. 

They are absolutely worth a re-watch, listen. 

Remember, GRIT isn’t just a trait, it’s not something you’re born with.

You gotta work at it. 

It’s about showing up, giving your best, and never backing down. 

You’ve got what it takes to be legendary—so let’s make it happen.

As Always…Stay Gritty…Stay Legendary.
