On the Grind

Dear Uncommon Leaders, 

As you gear up for the last week of the month, stay uncommon and finish strong! Keep up the great work! 👏

Your Sunday Nugget

This Week's Question:

Do you value the grind?

This Week's Challenge: 

Business can be a grind. Never ending problems. Being short-staffed. Chasing transactions. These types of things happen again and again and we find ourselves right in the midst of the grind.

Most people hate the grind, but did you know we can learn, grow and stretch our capacity through it? What do you tell yourself when you end up in a grind? It’s likely negative unless you take control of your thoughts and remind yourself that you are getting stronger and being stretched.

Without these intense periods, most businesses wouldn’t exist. To grow anything of significance, it will take some grind. Your challenge this week is to embrace it, lean into it and remind yourself that you are building character and capacity in the process.

This Week's Quote to Ponder:

“We don’t celebrate the grind, but the grind is where character is built and where winning occurs.” -Steven Pivnik from his book Built to Finish

Until next week,

LET'S GO BE UNCOMMON!
