Being "tough" isn't solely based on physical nature, contrary to what many may believe. Steve Magness is on a mission to share the nuances of toughness and what it truly means. Although Steve is well known for being one of the fastest runners in the United States while he was in High School with a 4:01 mile time and he doesn't credit his toughness being able to run very fast.

While he does believe it's important to push yourself and do hard things, hence the title of his book, there must be connection between the difficult training or task and the mission. This is often missed, especially in the sporting world as Steve notes through his research in the book.

Toughness is a wise action as defined by Steve. Sometimes we may be faced with the decision to persist knowing that it could lead to catastrophic failure or walk away knowing that the timing isn't right. Toughness is being able to make the right call.

Establishing toughness, the ability to take wise action, is best accomplished through creating control. Steve shares four key tips on how to create control which in turn will allow you to build toughness personally and professionally.
