Chapter 1: What does it mean to be resilient?
What's up, everybody, and welcome back to the Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex, and today we're gonna be talking about a topic that separates the winners from the wannabes, resilience. Let me be clear right here. If you're not resilient, you're not gonna make it in life and in business, period. So- Life's going to throw you punches. You're just going to hit walls.
And if you fold every time things get tough, you're done. I'm telling you right now. So let's get into the brutal truth about what it really takes to be resilient, guys. All right. So first, stop expecting things to be easy, guys. Too many people think resilience is about bouncing back when things go wrong. No, it's about expecting challenges and running straight through them anyways.
Chapter 2: Why should we expect challenges in life?
When I was working as a cop, 80 to 100 hour work weeks, guys, trying to build my businesses, I didn't just sit around hoping things would get easier.

So resilience isn't built when life is smooth.

It's built when you keep pushing, even when everything feels like it's falling apart. Second, you got to get comfortable with discomfort. you better learn how to take hits and keep moving. I've had businesses fail, people doubt me, and life punch me in the face more times than I can count. But here's the thing. I never stay down, guys. That's resilience. It's not about avoiding pain.
It's about using it as fuel to go harder. So, If you're running from discomfort, you're running from growth. And lastly, resilience is a choice. You either choose to let your obstacles define you or you choose to rise above them. Every time life knocked me down, I had two choices. stay down or get back stronger.
I chose to get up and that's why here today I'm running multiple eight-figure businesses. You can make that a choice too, but it starts with your mindset. Bottom line, resilience isn't a talent, it's a decision. You gotta embrace the struggle, face the pain, and keep moving forward. That's how you level up in life and in business. Guys, thanks for tuning in to Level Up Podcast.
