014: Developing Mental Toughness

You know those people who just tell it like it is? People who you can’t fake out for a second? Well I have a few of them in my life. They keep me from living an unfocused inauthentic life. And one of them is my guest today. Joe Pici is a sought-after coach and strategist who has trained hundreds of thousands of individuals and companies worldwide. Today, we’re talking all about developing the clarity and mental toughness you need to succeed in life.

In this episode, you’ll discover…

• Clarity is comprised of the answers to three questions: what is your desired end result? When do you want to see the result? Why do you want the result?
• There is no such thing as partial clarity.
• Mental toughness is a required character trait of a winner.
• Adversity doesn’t develop character. It defines and reveals character.
• Determine your non-negotiables of your conquest. They determine your priorities.
• Lack of time is not the issue. Prioritization of time is the issue. You cannot manage time. You can only manage priorities.
• We should embrace adversity, for when we do, our competition goes away.
• Live life with a “whatever it takes” attitude. If you do everything with integrity and honor, there is no price too high to pay.
• Get a mentor. And most importantly, make sure they have fruit on their tree so-to-speak.
