Welcome, I'm happy to see you here!
What is Grit Factor?
According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, grit is defined as firmness of mind or spirit; unyielding courage in the face of hardship or danger. The same source defines factor as a circumstance, fact, or influence that contributes to a result or outcome. Therefore, your 'grit factor' literally translated is your perseverance and unyielding courage that directly contribute to the result or outcome or your goals.
More definitely, I believe grit is the God-given strength we all possess, which allows us to make decisions resulting in a desired outcome. In my own experience, grit frequently comes into play when the negative consequences of inaction are so undesirable, they create action.
My goal is to help you explore and strategically implement how to tap into grit and use it to accomplish your desired outcomes even when the path to get there seems difficult or is full of obstacles. Click here to learn more.
