Success isn’t as complicated as most people think.
In fact, Tim boils it down to one simple trait: relentlessness.
For some…it’s innate. But for the rest of us, it’s a choice.
But what exactly does it mean to be relentless?
Over the years, MJ racked up quite a few championships.
But every off season he had one goal: to get better.
Why?
For winners, “good enough” is not an option.
Being relentless means committing to endless improvement —even when you’re winning.
Every time you achieve a goal, schedule a check in.
Ask yourself:
- Where did I fall short?
- What’s my next advantage?
- Where am I phoning it in?
Winners don’t get complacent with small victories…
Identify the next opportunity & pounce on it.
Grover has a simple framework for categorizing competitors:
1. Coolers: Avoid confrontation
2. Closers: Follow you into battle
3. Cleaners: Start the war, then finish it.
Metaphors aside, Cleaner’s win. And they win big.
Which one are you?
When you screw up, you have three options:
1. Explain
2. Blame
3. Own
Kobe had many opportunities to blame his team —especially in the dark days of 05 - 07.
But he knew that only one of those choices leads to growth.
Screw up > own > learn > improve
No matter the outcome…
Take responsibility and figure out how to do better next time.
Put simply, Grover is not a fan of shortcuts, and neither are his disciples.
His formula is simple.
Define:
1. Where you are now
2. Where you want to be instead
3. What you’re willing to do to get there
Then make a plan and act on it.
Relentlessly.
How we view pressure determines how we’re impacted by it:
If we fear it, it hurts us.
(negative stress, degrades performance)
If we embrace it, it builds us.
(sharpened focus, creates definition)
Try intentionally putting yourself into stressful situations.
Volunteer to give the presentation or to lead the sales call.
Your goal is simple: get in some small “pressure reps” so when the time comes, you’re ready.
After every game, Grover used to ask MJ one question:
“Five, six, or seven?”
What he meant: “What time we hitting the gym in the morning?”
Not if… But when.
Win, loss, soreness, fatigue — didn’t matter.
Back to work.
