Are You Built For The Grind?

Eric Says, “He is BUILT for the Grind and Brad is BUILT for the Hammer.”

What exactly is the Grind?

At the basics it about doing the things you don’t exactly want to do, day in and day out and pushing your limitations to tick the needle forward in achieving your goals.

Is the Grind teachable? It’s a debate as Brad believes not everyone is inherently built for the grind, while Eric believes that everyone is capable of the Grind but they have to tap into it.

A person can be surrounded by teachers but until the student is ready to learn, nothing happens. It’s all relative to the desire or need to learn.

When the student wants it bad enough, the teacher will appear.

If you are in love with your trade and your business, finding your Grind and facing adversity is easier to handle.

The Grind comes down to determination, grit and discipline, essentially doing the things that others can’t do or won’t do, day in and day out.

Having a natural competitive spirit in sports and other aspects of your life can be a sign at an early age that you are indeed built for the grind.

Brad describes the ultimate test of self-mastery is when you are competing with yourself to be a better version of yourself as he speaks about competitive shooting and training to be faster and more accurate by a hundredth of a second.

Believe it or not, Eric goes speechless as Brad describes – “Winning is the easy part, no one likes to lose, however, loosing is when you have the greatest opportunity to learn the most.”

When you Grind all day and still lose, that’s when you have the opportunity to build character.

Whenever you’re at your lowest point, something has to give, something has to break, and that’s when you grow.

You figure out a way to get better, get training, join a contractor community, or hire a coach to help you, find a breakthrough. If you’ve always won and you never faced adversity, you would never get better.

 Embrace Adversity. The obstacle is the way.

A book Brad highly recommends on the topic of The Grind is called “Grit” by Angela Duckworth.
