Lesson 1: Embrace the Cleaner Mentality

Grover identifies three types of people

Coolers, Closers, and Cleaners…

Cleaners

Cleaners are the elite performers who don't just get the job done – they dominate. They're relentless, unstoppable forces in their field. To become a Cleaner:

• Stay committed to your goals: Develop a laser-like focus on your objectives and never waver from them.

• Trust your instincts: Believe in your abilities and make decisions based on your gut feelings.

• Hold yourself accountable: When you fall short, own your mistakes and learn from them to grow stronger.

Lesson 2: Push Through Failure

Failure is part of the journey, but it's not the end. Instead of fearing it, use it as fuel to propel you forward:

• Learn from your mistakes: Analyse what went wrong, adjust your approach, and use the experience to become better.

• Maintain a positive attitude: Keep your eyes on your goals and stay confident in your ability to achieve them.

• Keep pushing forward: Don't let setbacks hold you back. Stay determined, and use your resilience to bounce back stronger than ever.

Lesson 3: Seek Out Challenges

Growth comes from facing and overcoming obstacles. 

Don't shy away from challenges – embrace them wholeheartedly:

• Step out of your comfort zone: Push yourself to take on new tasks and experiences that stretch your capabilities.

• Test your limits: Continually strive to improve and surpass your previous bests.

• Stay hungry for success: Never become complacent or satisfied. Keep chasing greatness and raising the bar for yourself.

Lesson 4: Master Your Emotions

Emotional control is critical to success. To stay in command of your emotions:

• Stay cool under pressure: When the stakes are high, remain calm and focused on the task at hand.

• Focus on the task at hand: Concentrate on what you can control and let go of distractions.

• Don't let setbacks derail you: Acknowledge your emotions, but don't let them dictate your actions. Stay the course and keep your eyes on your goals.

Lesson 5: Prepare to Win

Preparation is key to success. To make sure you're ready for any challenge:

• Develop a strong work ethic: Embrace hard work, and commit to putting in the time and effort required to excel.

• Train your mind and body: Strengthen your mental fortitude through visualisation and positive self-talk, while maintaining peak physical condition.

• Stay disciplined in your routine: Consistently follow a schedule that optimises your performance, ensuring you're always ready to seize opportunities
