Have you ever started something with excitement, only to let it fizzle out after a few weeks or months? Whether it's a marketing strategy, business idea, fitness goal, or personal development routine—starting strong is common. Finishing with resolve is rare. In this episode of The Daily Mastermind, George Wright III opens up the week with a hard-hitting truth: real business growth begins with resolve.
This week on the podcast, the focus is squarely on business growth—no fluff, no mindset wanderings. Just strategy and execution. George kicks things off by reminding listeners that growth is often found by revisiting the fundamentals, not chasing the latest trend or shiny object.
He compares business to sports: even professionals drill the basics. And in business, the foundational mindset that separates dabblers from achievers is resolve.
“When prosperity comes, do not use all of it.”
This quote sets the tone for the episode. It’s a reminder to think long-term, to plan for sustainability, and to use moments of growth to build, not blow, your foundation.
Resolve isn’t just a decision. It’s not just commitment. It’s something deeper.
Resolve is a firm determination to follow through on a course of action—despite distractions, discomfort, or discouragement. George explains that many entrepreneurs make decisions and commitments, but few operate with unshakeable resolve.
Why? Because shiny object syndrome is real. Because it’s easy to pivot. Because other people’s opinions get loud.
And because discipline without resolve crumbles under pressure.
According to George, resolve is built from three things:
“Faith is a decision. It's choosing to believe before you have the experience to prove it.”
Motivation fades. Resolve carries you when motivation disappears.
This isn’t about being rigid—it’s about being clear. George urges listeners to build rituals around certainty. If you’re always second-guessing, you’re constantly starting over.
And if you're trying to grow your business without resolve, you're building on sand.
To close the episode, George shares a poem that’s been a guiding voice throughout his entrepreneurial journey. It’s a timeless reminder that persistence in the face of resistance is where transformation lives:
“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will... Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.”
It’s not about flawless progress. It’s about not giving up. It’s about staying in the fight even when it gets hard. That’s resolve.
This episode is just the beginning. George shares that the rest of the week will build on this foundation with practical strategies for:
If you’re serious about shifting gears in your business, now is the time.
Want to create massive change?
Don’t just decide.
Don’t just commit.
Develop resolve.
Because resolve will outlast your doubts, outlast your distractions, and outlast your excuses.
