Grit is a word that gets thrown around a lot. But what does it really mean? Is it about pushing harder, grinding longer, or just stubbornly refusing to quit? Not exactly. In this episode, we break down two types of grit—one that propels you forward and another that drags you into the ground.
True grit is sustained passion, perseverance, and consistent action toward long-term goals. But there’s a dark side – what we call “dumb grit”. That’s the exhausting cycle of pushing forward without strategy, ignoring feedback, and mistaking stubbornness for strength.
If you’re feeling stuck, it might not be a lack of grit – it may well be the wrong kind. We’ll unpack what smart grit looks like, how to recalibrate after a setback, and why courage is the missing ingredient.
In this episode you’ll learn:
🔨 Grit isn’t just about pushing harder – it’s about pushing smarter.
🔨 Passion fuels the fire, but perseverance and action keep it burning.
🔨 Without smart grit, you’re just taking hits without making progress.
🔨 Stubbornness isn’t strength if it keeps you stuck in the same place.
🔨 Success isn’t about avoiding pain; it’s about acting despite it.
🔨 Hard work alone won’t cut it – strategy and adaptability matter.
