Mental toughness is a concept most people assume they know the meaning of ... but are almost always wrong.

They look at it as something that only certain people are “blessed” with.

They think of it as something that just isn’t possible for them … that they weren’t meant to be mentally tough.

As someone who once had these same beliefs … let me tell you something…

Mental toughness is absolutely obtainable...

Every single one of us has gone through and will go through tough times.

It’s an unavoidable fact of life.

When we find ourselves in these tough times, it can be extremely difficult to maintain a positive outlook and attitude.

If you’re struggling right now, I want you...

"I'll never be successful because of [insert excuse]."

How many times have you heard this before?

If I had to guess ... more times than you'd like to admit.

Be honest...

One of the most common ways I see people severely limit their potential and happiness in life is by living as an inauthentic version of themselves.

In fact, this is how most people live…

They build their entire life and identity around the standards and expectations of society and the people around them…

Never taking the time to consider or express who it is they truly are…

There are all kinds of negative things going on in the world right now.

With all the division…

All the hate…

All the frustration…

I see a lot of extremely bright and capable people who fall short of their potential because they don't have a sharp, relentless focus.

Understand that you can work hard…

You can have all the tools…

You can have all the discipline…

The biggest question I get as an entrepreneur is this…

“How do I know if it’s going to be worth it?”

Or…

“What’s the correct amount of risk I should take to go after an opportunity?”

What these people are wondering in their minds is whether or not the risk is going to be worth the reward…

The minute you step outside of your comfort zone to go out and start working toward the version of yourself you want to become…

You’re going to face resistance.

You’re going to face pushback.

You’re going to be mocked.

You’re going to be questioned.
