Who are the main speakers in this episode?
This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and Business Podcast. We're thrilled today to visit with one of our most listened to guests, Liz Hudson. Liz is brilliant. She's by nature and background an engineer, then built her own business, now does that and also is a public speaker. And she's got great insights on so many subjects. Today we're going to talk about tenacity.
What is tenacity and why does it matter in business?
Sort of drive, grit, etc. Are you born with it? Are you not? If you're not necessarily driven and compelled by stuff to begin with, can you develop it? Liz, let me tee it up and tell us your thoughts here.
Ja, das klingt großartig. Scott, danke dir so sehr für deine Zeit heute. Ich dachte mir, warum ist Genesse wichtig? Ich denke, wenn wir heute die Welt betrachten, wollen wir eine Idee von uns erreichen, sei es in einem Geschäftsbereich oder in einem Gemeinschaftsbereich. Wir wollen unsere Arbeit präsentieren.
Are we born with grit or can it be developed?
Wir wollen für eine Möglichkeit betrachtet werden, ob es ein nächstes-Level-Job ist, ein neues Job, was auch immer es sein könnte. Wir müssen Genesse haben. Wir können all diese Ideen haben, aber wenn sie nie gehört werden, What good is it? And when I think about the tempo that our world keeps today, if it's not sharp and pithy and pushes forward, those ideas, you know, like even a personality, a person is brushed aside really quickly. And so if we're not positioning it well and we're not having a healthy dose of push, those ideas can stay behind. And the question that you asked, I think, is a good one, which is, are we born with tenacity or is it something that can be built? Und mein Gedanke darauf ist, dass bestimmte Persönlichkeiten innere Persönlichkeiten haben, die mehr oder weniger komfortabel mit dem Anstrengen sind, mehr oder weniger komfortabel mit der Konzentration sind.
Jedoch glaube ich, dass es eine Fähigkeit ist, die entwickelt und gewachsen werden kann. Und heute, Scott, würde ich gerne darüber sprechen, wie wir damit umgehen.
Fantastisch. Und wie kultivierst du diese Konzentration, diese Führung, diesen Wunsch, das Einnehmen von etwas und das Nicht-Lassen? Wie kultivierst du das?
How does confidence relate to cultivating tenacity?
Ja, ich denke, es geht um drei Dinge, die ich erwähnt habe. Ich nehme Thema Nummer eins. The first thing is I believe you've got to work hard and build confidence in your ideas and work. Because I think tenacity is so much easier to manifest and just channel the push and the drive when we feel confident in the work that we've done and we've put in that work up front. And I think about when all of us were kids and were in school setting, college setting, when we're taking a test. And we come in really well prepared. We've done the homework. We did the practice test. We drilled the materials. We come into that test and we feel confident. We feel dominant. Like I'm going to do well on this test because I did a great job preparing for this.
And I think it's no different in work settings or presentations or whatever that is. You exude confidence. when you come in prepared. And then others feel that as well from you. They can see, you know what you're talking about. So channeling tenacity is so much easier when you've done the work up front. That's the first point, Scott.
That if you're prepared, it's much easier to find it because you're not sort of dawdling all over the place. It's easier to find it if you're prepared and ready to go.
What are practical ways to build and maintain tenacity?
Exactly, exactly.
So love that. Tell us what else you could do.
Yeah, second point. ist, dass ich glaube, dass Neugier nicht kommt und nur kämpft und drückt, und das ist das Einzige. Du musst es in der richtigen Weise machen. Ich denke, es gibt eine Balance von Neugier, die einen Sinn von Leidenschaft mit, ich sage, Verrücktheit verbindet.
