Build a Mind So Strong It Scares People | Ep 913

You aren't where you want to be in life because you can't withstand the hard times and hard things that happen to you and it takes you too long to recover. You fall too far when it happens. And then finally, when you do recover, you're worse than you were when you started. Today I want to talk about something that I think is key to entrepreneurship and even just being a human being who gets what they want out of life. And it's a topic that I think a lot about, which is one that's called mental toughness.

And so I made this for you guys. What is mental toughness? It's the chance a bad thing changes how you act in a way that's against your goals. Or it'd be like, well, what does it actually mean? It just means the percentage likelihood that when something bad happens, you change the way you act in a way that's not ideal.

That means that mental toughness is no longer a do you have mental toughness or not? But instead, it's how much mental toughness do you have? Fundamentally, what we're trying to get into is how people respond to bad things. All right. And so once we have it defined, which is that the chance a bad thing happens to you, then we have to create an environment in which mental toughness can be exercised and then ideally measured.
