Rsz 1renny Doyle Tough People

It’s a weird time right now. The economy is weird. Spending habits are weird. Inflation is out of control, interest rates are going up, it’s hard to find good employees, it’s hard to get people to follow through, and the stock market has been a roller coaster.


No one knows what will happen next. A recession seems inevitable, but this is an unprecedented situation. Did I mention things are weird?!


No one has a crystal ball but I know one thing…


I don’t plan on quitting, I plan on dominating.


It’s a great time to focus on your mindset. Improve your attitude. Be persistent. Develop a strategy and be resilient. It’s a great time to show up and be mentally though.


Entrepreneur and Podcast host Andy Frisella has outlined 8 habits of mentally tough people, let’s review them…

  2. Do things that require significant effort
  3. Develop new skills
  4. Be self-reliant
