For Gregg King fighting is his life. He lives, eats and breathes Jiu-Jitsu. He has turned it into a career and a business so that he can share his passion with the world. We sat down to have a great conversation about the competition mindset of a martial artist and how that translates to his businesses.

Here’s a peek:

- Fighting for the goal that you set - staying focused during your training so you are prepared for the competition- You either win or learn not win or lose – not winning will always teach you something- Going deeper into your thinking when you lose- In business, with a thousand things to do, whatever you do you’re never going to be good enough - Keeping on yourself to push that extra 10%. Don’t just talk about it, be about it - Adapting to being under pressure, so as you get to your next level of training you’re already conditioned to keep going and exceeding - Keeping ‘sharpening your blade’ so you don’t get to a point where you stagnate and lose your edge - someone else is always getting better - The boulder just gets heavier as you keep putting things off which makes it harder to get back up - The underlying mindset that believes you can’t have what you want - Using your excuses to fuel your drive instead of letting them sit on you and drag you down- Difference between excuses that hold you back vs something good on TV - Listening to your body when you do need to rest and what to do to keep progressing while you rest
