Relentless. It might have a negative vibe to it, if it makes you think of kudzu, serial killers, and lava flows.
Relentlessness is a powerful force for good, though.
It allows athletes to train their way to gold medals, and novelists to land seven-figure book deals.
It also allows entrepreneurs like you and me to create our own economies with nothing more than a laptop and an internet connection.
Because contrary to what some people might tell you, there is no easy button for building a business. You can’t just hand it over to your favorite AI and walk away. You have to be a little bit relentless in your pursuit of success.
Don’t worry though. Even if you weren’t born with a relentless streak, it’s pretty easy to develop. In this episode, I’ll give you seven tactics to boost your resolve and help you keep going even when you want to quit.
