#533: Be a Badass Part 1

Brooke Castillo
About this episode

Success isn’t reserved for a select few. It’s available to anyone willing to become the person who creates it.

 

In this three-part series, I’m answering the question I get asked over and over: How do you create the success you want in your life?

 

The answer isn't about being the smartest or having a perfect past.



It’s about developing two key traits: mental strength and a productive work ethic. These aren’t optional. They’re the foundation of extraordinary results.

 

In this episode, I share my journey to becoming a badass in business and how I built Self Coaching Scholars into a $10M+ program. You’ll learn why simply believing you can achieve success isn’t enough. You have to believe you are the person who creates those results.

 

What You Will Discover:

 

  • The two identifiable characteristics every badass possesses and why both are essential.
  • How mental strength differs from mental weakness and what it actually requires to develop
  • Why work ethic isn't about hustling 24/7 but about producing significant results quickly
  • The real reason people fail (hint: it's not lack of capability)
  • How childhood trauma can actually contribute to developing mental toughness
  • Why announcing your badass identity matters more than keeping it private
  • The connection between handling criticism and creating extraordinary success
