You Be Gritty Too is for people at work who are committed to a long-term goal: a qualification, a hard project, a career they are building step by step.
It draws on research on grit, the combination of passion and perseverance for long-term goals, and helps you sustain effort and interest over time, day in and day out.
You receive a personalised card deck and an ebook, both carrying your own name on every page. Each A4 card has a theme, a short description and an image on the front, and on the back a gathering of quotes from many voices and wisdom traditions, with room to write your own notes. The ebook holds the same wisdom as a flowing book with a clickable contents page and a dedication written for you. The themes follow two parts of grit. Passion for Long-Term Goals includes cards such as Enthusiastic, Motivated, Purposeful and Set Goals; Perseverance of Effort includes Committed, Determined, Disciplined, Overcome Obstacles and Persevere.
On WorkSmart4Life it sits on the WorkSmart library shelf. The sales page sketches a simple rhythm: draw one card each morning and choose a quote to carry through the day, or take one card a day for two weeks, passion first and perseverance second. I suggest you begin with the passion cards, so that your effort has a clear goal to serve.
