"I tried" and "I'll never be good enough" are two of the most common phrases
used when it comes to failure. People will claim they put the work in, and when
their goals are not achieved, many will say the results were simply not in their
favor that day. They will blame others for their lack of success and hope for some
better luck next time. Wrong mentality right there. When you commit to something
100%, your hunger for success becomes your daily motivation. There is no such
thing as giving up and seceding to the opposition. You show up day after day
and put in the effort, dedication, and strength to obtain what you want in this life.
That, is called the Grind.
For Eric Leonard, grinding is the foundation for success in his life... graduating
with two undergraduate degrees in 3.5 years, a five year (and ongoing)
professional soccer career, a Masters in Applied Mathematics, and the all-time
appearance leader for Forward Madison FC.
Over the years, this simple yet extremely powerful mentality has taken hard work
and has put it at the front of his campaign for success.
The GBA Mentality.Grinding, Believing, and Achieving.
Over three parts, Leonard uses his story of making it as a professional footballer
to illuminate a path that anyone can follow to overcome adversity, fight against
conformity, and ultimately achieve 1% more in their life.
