How To Build Mental Toughness

This next topic is extremely important for all entrepreneurs: mental toughness. I want to talk about what mental toughness really is, how to develop it, and the benefits of mental toughness for your business, future, peace of mind and happiness. I’ll discuss overall mental toughness, what it is, and give you some steps on how to develop this asset in your life.

First, what is mental toughness? What do you do when nothing goes your way? What do you do when everything that you've planned fails, when your business is failing, or there's an emergency or a death in the family? What do you do when you're squeezed? What do you do in critical situations?

Dan Kennedy taught me that high tolerance for pressure is a skill successful entrepreneurs need, and it is something they are paid great dividends for. Do you fold under pressure or do you look for solutions? Do you dwell on mistakes or do you use them to improve your performance? Mental toughness means having the ability to stay calm and focused during turmoil, failure and chaos. As the economy tightens, it’s especially important to hone this skill. It can be revolutionary for your future, your career, family, income, and the influence you have on others.

Mental toughness is developed over a period of time. It takes years, not days or weeks. It's about pushing yourself and it’s built through really tough times. It separates the men from the boys, the women from the girls, the successful from the average. People who exercise this mental muscle and persevere ultimately succeed at a higher level than everybody else. As you know and may have experienced, most people give up before they succeed. All you need to remember to succeed is to keep going, keep showing up, and keep pushing forward.

Here's an example, imagine you are in front of a fire hydrant and suddenly water starts to gush out. You're sitting in front of it and it keeps gushing out harder and harder. You will either get pushed to the side, or you will keep taking it. And say something like, “Is that all you got water? Bring it!”

Think of mental toughness as being able to take on more and more without losing yourself in what’s happening. During times like these, when you’re being pushed and challenged, is when you build your capacity and your strength, and ultimately, your mental toughness. You either become a mentally tough person, or you give up. The more you take on, the bigger you want to become, the more water that's coming out of the fire hydrant. If you can't handle it, you get pushed to the side, and you won’t develop mental toughness. If you keep going and you keep pushing, eventually, you'll build your tolerance for handling challenges and your mental toughness will rise.
