Five Ways To Develop More ‘Grit’
Grit isn’t a trait. It’s a practice.
In his latest Authority Magazine essay, Solyco Senior Partner Chris Van Dusen lays out how it actually gets built — drawn from two decades of company-building and eight years on the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu mat.
Five ways to develop it:
- Choose your hard. The difficulty you opt into rewires everything else.
- Process over outcome. Wins are lagging indicators. Reps are the work.
- Earn your mat time. No shortcut survives contact with a real opponent.
- Lean into friction. Growth lives in the resistance, not around it.
- Stay calculated in your optimism. Belief sets the ceiling. Discipline raises the floor.

Grit isn’t something you’re born with — it’s built every time you choose to keep going when it would be easier to stop.
