You've got grit.
Chances are it took a lot of hard work and determination to
get your business to where it is today. Angela Duckworth calls
this "grit". In her book
Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, she
draws on the latest social science and interviews West Point
cadets, winning coaches, National Spelling Bee finalists and
CEOs to learn what different high achievers have in common.
What she found was that the people who could fall down, then
stand up, dust themselves off and keep going were more likely
to succeed. Grit mattered more than talent. Think of grit as
your "why" plus a hedgehog approach to a growth mindset. It's
about digging deep when you fall short or the work gets hard
and pushing toward your goal. It's what you draw on during
hard times to not only get through them but also come out
stronger on the other side.
