How to Be Relentless in Business

Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind. I’m George Wright III, bringing you your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education.

I hope you're starting your Monday strong. There’s a lot happening this week, and I want to keep you updated.

The reason I created The Daily Mastermind is association.

As a CEO, high achiever, or entrepreneur, you might feel like you’re doing everything alone—but you’re not. Masterminding has never been easier, and that’s why I started this podcast.

Even though I cover a range of topics—from mindset, body, money, and business to interviews and solo episodes—the goal has always been the same: to inspire, educate, and push you toward success.

Moving into next year, I’ll be announcing new collaborations and partnerships that will help you build and scale even faster.

But today, as always on Mondays, I want to focus on prosperity principles—the foundations of a thriving business and life.

The Importance of Relentlessness in Business

One of the most critical traits you must develop to succeed is relentlessness.

Tim Grover wrote an excellent book called Relentless, and I revisit it often.

It got me thinking: How do you become truly unstoppable in business?

The truth is, in today’s competitive environment, being relentless is what separates successful entrepreneurs from everyone else.

To be relentless means having unwavering determination, resilience, and the ability to overcome obstacles no matter what.

And here’s the good news: Relentlessness is a skill.

It’s not something you’re simply born with—it’s something you can develop and strengthen over time, just like any other business skill.

How to Develop Relentlessness

I’ve had the privilege of learning from top thought leaders, experts, and entrepreneurs throughout my career.

Here are the key steps I’ve seen consistently among those who are truly relentless:

1. Set Clear and Ambitious Goals

Define your big-picture mission—the vision that inspires and motivates you.

• Write it down. Most people never take this simple yet crucial step.
• Get specific. A vague goal won’t push you forward.
• Stretch your thinking. Set ambitious goals that force you out of your comfort zone.

Having absolute clarity on your goals is the first step to becoming relentless.

2. Develop a Strong Work Ethic

Success is about showing up every single day—no matter how you feel.

One of my favorite prosperity principles is: "I act in spite of my mood."

• Be consistent. A strong work ethic isn’t just about working hard—it’s about working smart and staying consistent.
• Embrace the challenge. As David Goggins says, "Embrace the suck." Growth comes from stepping into discomfort daily.

A relentless mindset means you’re not just working hard—you’re pushing yourself in the right areas consistently.

3. Maintain a Positive and Resilient Mindset

Your mindset is your most powerful tool in business.

• Learn from setbacks. Treat failures as lessons, not defeats.
• Analyze what went wrong. Adapt and move forward.
• Stay positive. A relentless entrepreneur knows that every setback is a setup for a comeback.

No matter what happens, your outlook determines your outcome.

4. Commit to Continuous Learning

A relentless entrepreneur is always learning, evolving, and applying new knowledge.

• Stay teachable. Even when you experience success, remain open to new ideas, strategies, and perspectives.
• Apply what you learn. Knowledge without execution is useless.

Growth doesn’t come from what you know—it comes from what you implement.

5. Surround Yourself with Like-Minded People

Your network is your net worth.

You need to be around people who push you, not those who hold you back.

• Find a mastermind. Surround yourself with other driven, disciplined individuals.
• Build relationships. Success isn’t just about hard work—it’s about having the right people in your corner.

If you’re constantly around people who make excuses or settle, it’s going to be hard to stay relentless.

6. Be Adaptable and Open to Change

Being relentless does not mean being rigid.

The business world evolves constantly, and so must you.

• Pivot when necessary. Don’t let stubbornness keep you stuck in a failing strategy.
• Stay open to innovation. The best entrepreneurs adjust, adapt, and improve based on market trends.

A relentless person doesn’t just keep going—they keep growing.

7. Manage Your Energy, Not Just Your Time

Burnout kills relentlessness.

• Your energy is your most valuable resource.
• Prioritize recovery. Rest, recharge, and maintain your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
• Use the 80/20 rule. Focus on the 20% of activities that drive 80% of your results.

True relentlessness isn’t about working nonstop—it’s about working strategically while keeping your energy high.

8. Stay Accountable

Relentless people track their progress.

• Keep it simple. Your key performance indicators (KPIs) should focus on the top three to four things that truly drive results.
• Find accountability partners. Whether it’s a mentor, coach, or mastermind, have someone to hold you to your commitments.

If you can stay accountable and track your progress, you will develop the habit of being relentless.

Final Thoughts: The Path to Becoming Unstoppable

If you master these steps, you will develop the skill of relentlessness, and once you do that, you become unstoppable.

Tim Grover’s book Relentless talks about going from good, to great, to unstoppable—and that’s exactly what happens when you embrace this mindset.

Key Takeaways:

• Set clear, ambitious goals
• Develop a strong, consistent work ethic
• Maintain a positive and resilient mindset
• Commit to continuous learning and application
• Surround yourself with like-minded, driven individuals
• Be adaptable and open to change
• Manage your energy, not just your time
• Stay accountable with measurable goals

Success isn’t about talent or luck—it’s about relentless execution.
