This transcript excerpt captures Jarrad Goulding arguing that grit and determination matter more than intelligence for long-term success. He emphasizes persistence—continuously chipping away after setbacks—leading to momentum, referrals, strong business results ("crazy numbers"), and having an asset one can leverage or exit from.
Yeah, that's what grits, grits like such a underestimated thing in people. You know, everyone talks about intelligence and how important intelligence is and stuff like that, but I personally think that grit and determination is, it's far more important for anything. Yeah. Get knocked down, you get back up again, don't you? And you just keep going. You keep chipping away day after day and then all of a sudden momentum starts to kick in. Yeah. And before you and referrals kick in and before you know it, like, you know, you're doing these crazy numbers in this business and life's great and you know, you, you've got to turn yourself off the leads because you've got too much going on and all this sort of stuff and, you know, it's a really good place to be. And then you've just got this fantastic asset that you can do whatever you choose to do with.
