When we train, grit and speed are equally important. To succeed despite all obstacles, we need grit. To stay competitive, speed is essential. The tradeoff is complex, and it appears in everything we do. Triple your success rates with simple tips that blend determination and efficiency.

Here are the fundamentals:

  1. Practice wisely or suffer.
    It’s not just about working hard, but about working smart. Choose your strategies carefully, reflect on your methods, and focus on meaningful progress rather than mindless repetition.

  2. Do not give up.
    Persistence is the backbone of achievement. Even when progress feels slow or the road gets tough, keep pushing forward. Grit helps you overcome the setbacks that stop most people.

  3. Doing the same thing and expecting a different result is the definition of crazy.
    Be willing to change your approach. If you hit a plateau or get stuck, experiment with new methods, seek feedback, and never settle for less than real improvement.

  4. Be patient.
    Results rarely come overnight. True growth is a process—trust the journey, and give yourself the time to learn, adapt, and build skills that last.

  5. Watch your focus.
    Distraction kills both grit and speed. Practice staying present, minimize multitasking, and guard your attention as a precious resource.

  6. Gamify your progress.
    Make training enjoyable by tracking wins, celebrating milestones, and turning routines into engaging challenges. Motivation is easier to maintain when you’re having fun.

  7. Do not get stuck.
    Recognize when you’re spinning your wheels. Take breaks, seek new perspectives, and move forward with fresh energy. Stagnation is the enemy of both perseverance and momentum.

That’s all. For the rest of this minicourse, you’ll find deeper explanations, real-world examples, and actionable exercises to help you balance grit and speed in everything you do.
