Relentless: From Good to Great to Unstoppable (Tim Grover Winning Series)

Product Information

My family came to the United States when I was four, and my father went to work in the basement of a hospital in Chicago, dismembering cadavers. When there was no school and both my parents were working, he'd take me with him; I was five years old the first time I saw my father dismantle a corpse. When I was six, he handed me a bone saw and told me to help." If you never had a chance to be a kid; you want that for yourself, because it’s completely instinctive to want to have fun, ignore the rules, and just forget about responsibility and goals and performance. I get that. But I’m convinced childhood is overrated; you can have a much better childhood as an adult, when you have the freedom and the affluence to enjoy it. You get this small window to be a legend, and you have the rest of your life to act like a kid, at any age. Push it as far as you can, and even if you make it until you’re thirty or thirty-five, you still have decades ahead to enjoy what you built for yourself (229). Chapter 4: When You're a Cleaner...You Get into the Zone, shut out everything else, and control the uncontrollable. Pushing yourself hard to improve and pressuring yourself are two essential principles to satisfying your need to succeed. However, to get the most out of these principles, Grover argues that you must follow the third principle behind the Unstoppable need to succeed: seeking success by any means necessary. In our position, it's always important to have this connection from the players to the fans," Röhl told Yorkshire Live. "We need this because it's a tough group and today we saw the energy that this stadium can create." Röhl's relentlessness

In his Relentless book, Tim Grover has three core ideas he discusses: a relentlessness definition, why the Unstoppable need to succeed, and how the Unstoppable direct their instincts. In addition, he offers key advice at the end on knowing when to call it quits. Grover examines three areas Grover says to direct your instincts—knowledge, emotions, and your primal self as well as how doing so will help you become Unstoppable. Calling It Quits In Relentless, author Tim Grover explains the qualities you’ll need to become the best in your field—qualities that he collectively calls “relentlessness.” In this guide, we’ll first define relentlessness. Then, we’ll explore the two main qualities Grover argues are essential to relentlessness: Tim tells in his first book how he managed to get to mentally train NBA superstars like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade - these names are top of the top.

PDF Summary Part 2: The Unstoppable Need to Succeed | Chapter 2: Never Stop Improving

A true Cleaner never tells you what he’s doing or what he’s planning. You find out after the job is complete. And by the time you realize what he’s accomplished, he’s already moved on to the next challenge. Why do I call them Cleaners? Because they take responsibility for everything. When something goes wrong, they don’t blame others because they never really count on anyone else to get the job done in the first place. Shortform note: Research supports Grover’s argument that you can “train” your instincts to rely on the things you know or believe. A study on people who had performed heroic acts by risking their lives to save others found that the majority of these people hadn’t considered if their action was the right thing to do, but instead acted intuitively on their existing moral beliefs. This suggests that your more “rational” thoughts and beliefs inspire instinctive action.) For example: Grover mentions that he would often insult Unstoppable people he worked with or bring up their insecurities. This would challenge them to prove him wrong—a challenge they would meet by activating intense focus.

To truly push and pressure yourself as hard as you can, Grover argues that you must follow the third principle behind the Unstoppable need to succeed: seeking success by any means necessary. Grover provides two methods for following this principle: making sacrifices and accepting discomfort. Method #1: Make SacrificesRemember, it’s not about talent or brains or wealth. It’s about the relentless instinctive drive to do whatever it takes—anything—to get to the top of where you want to be, and to stay there. But what was limiting about this book is there's far more name dropping than calls to action. Grover basically says if you are a Cleaner you will know you are a Cleaner. Like Michael Jordan. Or Charles Barkley. Or LeBron James. This book is written by Tim Grover, the one who trained Michael Jordan (and Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, etc.), who shows how to be the best in the WORLD in various things (whether it be sports, business, etc.). However, doing something like this is VERY costly (as you can imagine). There seems to be a lot of truth in it (as far as achieving that goal), but I struggle to agree that it would be worth it. Grover clearly knows what he's doing, but I disagree with his ultimate goal. His goal is to get people to do things for their own glory and he glosses over what it would cost people to get there. In other words, we clearly disagree on values. However, there are some principles about leadership that people can adopt (i.e. hard work, perseverance, responsibility, etc.). I help find the fuel to light the fire. I don't want to be the one who pushes the buttons. I want you to push the button yourself. As soon as you allow others to push your buttons, they've won. In other words, be more prepared than everybody and be flexible so when things go wrong, you can be flexible and confident and trust your instincts at that point to bring about the best possible solution].
