#3399: Mental Toughness Is An Identity - Not A Skill
About this episode
Mental toughness isn’t just a skill you practice—it’s who you are. Skills are important, but they’re about what you do. Mental toughness is about your identity, your way of being. It’s your willingness to keep showing up, doing the work, and putting yourself out there, even when success hasn’t shown up yet. Today I’m breaking down why mental toughness is in your DNA, not just in your to-do list.
Show Notes:
[01:20]#1 Skills are what you do.
[09:17]#2 Being mentally tough is not something that you practice.
[14:55]#3 Do not outsource your toughness to motivation.
