Now, I will say this right from the off, I recently shared a video actually on LinkedIn. So I've used the word resilience, but I think grit is a better word. In fact, I really must get around to reading that one. And rather than say absolutely that she was probably referring to the psychological definition of grit when she came up with the title and the subtitle of her book. I haven't read the book, so that's why I'm having no doubt. In other words, a powerful motivation to achieve an objective and therefore to be able to endure some of the things that come our way to test us along the way. And if I look at the title actually, it talks about the power of passion with perseverance.Īnd that's really interesting because when you look up on Wikipedia, the definition of the word grit, from a psychological point of view, is described as a positive, non-cognitive trait based on an individual's perseverance of effort, combined with the passion for a particular long-term goal or end state. And there's a very, very famous book that's been written on the topic of course, by Angela Duckworth, which is called Grit. Of course the most notable would be grit. But I think equally I wanted to extend that to a few other similar words, if you like, that could come into play here. And resilience is definitely one on that list. Now, I often talk about the characteristics that we need in terms of mindset to be successful as property investors and developers. And lo and behold Monday comes around, which is my recording deadline day, and I'm thinking, what am I going to talk about on the podcast this week? It's one of the benefits of the unplanned schedule, but it also brings some pressure points as well.Īnd I was thinking to myself, well, what can I share? What came to mind essentially is a stimulus, rather, from conversations I've been having with a number of people of late, and it really revolves around the phrase or the term resilience was the word I use. Well, I was thinking to myself, what can I share with you this week? And whilst I've got a few ideas for content and in fact, more than ideas, plans for content for the next few weeks, I wasn't really sure what I was going to share with you this week. My name is Richard Brown and as always, it's a pleasure to have you join me again on the show today. Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Property Voice Podcast. But actually getting back up once we have been knocked down is where we need some of that grit, resilience or fortitude, often in spades. When we get knocked down, we need a reason to get back up again.that’s the motivation behind purpose part. When the going gets tough, as it surely will do, these are the characteristics and qualities that will see us through. Grit, resilience or fortitude are variations on the same theme. This week, we look at the second half perhaps. In many ways, the dream, vision or purpose is only half of the story. Last week, we heard a few stories of some people that are striving to achieve something bigger than ourselves.
