"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours -- it is an amazing journey -- and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins." -- B Moawad, author

Hi, "Rise and grind!" It seems like phrases and mantras around grit, hustle, and mental toughness are everywhere. And for good reason! Studies show again and again that the best indicator of someone's success isn't the amount of knowledge, skill, or talent they possess. All of those things make little or no impact unless the student *also* has what it takes to follow through and keep moving forward. Resilience is one of the most sought after traits that managers look for when hiring, yet it's one of the most common traits that high school and even college graduates are lacking. There's a reason why some educators get results, and others can barely get students to stay awake. It's because teaching requires more than passing knowledge from one mind to another. It's a collaboration between teacher and student, and must be done in a way where students are able to use and apply what they learn. My friend Danny Iny explains in his new book, Leveraged Learning,how education done well imparts three things to students: - knowledge - insight - fortitude Knowledge is all about memory and skill. It's the foundation of learning, but unfortunately most education stops there. Insight is critical. It's how you apply knowledge in the ever changing real world. If your students aren't able to apply the info you teach and get results, then your course failed. "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." That's fortitude. It's putting your head down and pushing through during the hard times. So it doesn't matter if you're at the very top of your field. Or even if you think you're "pretty good" at teaching what you know. If your students don't have the fortitude to finish, then nothing happens. Danny teaches in his new book how educators can and must factor in knowledge, insight, and fortitude if they want to transform the lives of their students, and create and sell successful courses. If course creation is on your radar, then be sure to read Danny's free book first. You wouldn't want to waste time on a course that falls short on results for you or your students.
