In this week's episode I summarize what I have learned from Angela Duckworth's book Grit. I recently finished this book and it has become one of my recent favourites and so I am excited to share what I have learned from it.


Grit - explores what it takes to become successful in any line of work. Is it talent? Is it hard work?


Angela Duckworth concludes the following:


talent x effort = skill
skill x effort = achievement


therefore, talent counts once and effort counts twice.


She Concludes that grit is the biggest indicator for success and that grit comes from:
Develop a fascination
1. Aim for daily improvements
2. Compete with who you were yesterday
3. Greater Purpose – find purpose in what you do.
4. Adopt a growth mindset
