Proven winners rely on one simple trait: Resiliency The great Rocky Balboa once said: “It ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done.” Early in my career, I struggled to overcome setbacks. Here’s an example: My first assignment was a 10,000 SF industrial tenant lease requirement. Multiple tours, dozens of buildings, finally we found a perfect fit. After months of negotiating, the landlord requested proof of the tenant’s revenue. The tenant (my client) refused to provide. Immediately, the deal caved. I started to question the assignment. My senior broker said, “They will find a space with or without you." After a year of persevering, I had closed my first deal. Tip: To grow resiliency, face adversity in small doses through exercise.
It takes a lot to persevere over years. Most would give up. Great job making it through that initial slog Connor.
Great post Connor Montagano. Being comfortable is not healthy. Facing adversity (and winning) is what makes you stronger.

7moResilience is not accepting 'no'. Take that no and turn it into a yes. Don't give up. There is so much more to come.
