Grit

Have you ever wondered if you’re somehow less able to resist temptation than other people, as if you’re somehow flawed (some people might call it an “addictive personality”) and missing the basic software for prioritizing long-term goals over instant gratification?


Do you have a repeated pattern of drawing up huge plans and then dropping out because you’re exhausted and not achieving fast enough?


Were you born with all the ambition a person could need but missing the persistence, clear values, and self-enforced rules that so often mean the difference between potential and achievement?


Your entire life, people have been selling you this goofy idea that there’s a magic pill for everything…


So it is any wonder you find yourself getting distracted or overwhelmed before you get to the finish line? You’ve been told your entire life it’s going to be easier than that!


My name is Martin Meadows, and I’m a bestselling author that takes my personal growth with as much pain and discomfort as I can manage (at least in short bursts).


So whether it’s 40 hours of fasting, bombarding myself with foreign languages, dropping 30 pounds in a few months, bathing in buckets of ice, or cranking out a 400-page long anthology of stories in one month…I believe in doing what it takes to make things happen!


And research shows that grit is a better predictor for success than ANY other factor you can imagine.


And…



Grit
