Happy Holidays from everyone at the GRINDcast and Arias Organization!

This week we’re breaking down 5 key principles that separate the Good from the Great.

Greatness is expensive! You either choose the pain of discipline or the pain of disappointment. What level of suffering & sacrifice are you will to endure to achieve your goals?

Accumulating small daily wins is the roadmap to achieving massive success. The real difference maker in achieving your long term vision is consistency! Showing up for the small daily disciplines, mastering the day, winning the week… that’s what leads to achieving your goals.

What is your vision? Are you disciplined enough to stick with it no matter what? To get there, you either choose the pain of discipline, or the pain of disappointment.

The first sale you need to make is to sell your partner on the vision. If you can’t do that, either the vison need to change, or your support system needs to change.

Life is an auction! If you want that job, that house, that championship, you have to be willing to “outbid” your competition by doing more, sacrificing more, & potentially overpaying to guarantee a win.

A successful foundation to anything in life is reliant on commitment and the ability to keep working at it well beyond the honeymoon phase. Are you committed?

Saw an IG reel recently where the guy said, “Our job is a personal development plan w compensation attached.”

It doesn’t matter what specific career you’re in. In most cases, the levels of success & compensation you achieve are directly linked to the ways you have personally grown and become a more valuable asset.

Success is achieved through disciplined habits that build towards your goals, and by saying no to the urges towards distaractions & temporary fun.

“The central part (of training) is in dodging the night clubs, and that parties, and the girls. You want the truth? And being in the bed by yourself at 9:00 at night, and if you can get by that, you’ll make it. That’s the truth.” – Muhammad Ali
