This fear prevents the Good from fully committing to a task\u2014therefore preventing them from relentlessly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/chasing-success\/\">pursuing success<\/a>. Because of this, they can be good at what they do but will never be the best or even great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Good Can\u2019t Take Initiative<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fear of failure makes the Good unable to take initiative\u2014even when they know exactly what they <em>should<\/em> do\u2014because they fear making a mistake if they do. Instead of taking initiative, the Good tend towards two behaviors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Providing support: <\/strong>Because they are followers, the Good focus on<strong> <\/strong>helping and encouraging others to succeed above themselves. This way, they can still be a part of the team without having to step up and face their fear of taking charge.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mediating conflict: <\/strong>The Good will<strong> <\/strong>avoid taking sides<strong> <\/strong>when a conflict arises because they are afraid of being wrong. Instead, they\u2019ll try to work with both sides to mediate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-good-freeze-up-under-pressure\"><strong>The Good Freeze Up Under Pressure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Grover explains that fear of failure also makes the Good freeze up under pressure. Pressure causes the Good to focus on the possibility of failure instead of on what they\u2019re trying to accomplish\u2014in other words, <strong>they\u2019ll freeze up because they overthink what they\u2019re doing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a Good dancer is in a competition. They\u2019ve practiced extensively, and have natural talent. However, once they\u2019re about to start, they worry they won\u2019t be able to pull off the backflip at the end of their routine. They try to remember all of the advice their teachers, mentors, and peers gave them about backflips. Now they have a ton of information and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/overcoming-self-doubt\/\">self-doubt<\/a> in their mind taking their focus away from the actual dancing, and their performance suffers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Great People<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The second type of person is the Great\u2014people whom Grover says are one step above the Good but can be relentless <em>under specific circumstances<\/em>.<strong> <\/strong>While the Great have more control over their fears and self-doubts than the Good, these fears still plague them from time to time. Grover says that the Great attempt to compensate for their fears with two different methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Great Need <strong>Extensive Preparation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Great can be relentless, but <strong>only in specific situations they have prepared for extensively<\/strong>. This preparation gives the Great a clear planned approach to the situation, which allows them to avoid overthinking and commit their focus to success. However, if circumstances unexpectedly change, creating a situation that the Great hasn\u2019t prepared for, they\u2019ll experience the same self-doubts and fears that the Good have and freeze up. This is why the Great can only be relentless sometimes\u2014their confidence is situational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a Great musician doesn\u2019t overthink or freeze up as long as they\u2019ve spent a long time studying the specific pieces they\u2019ll play. However, during a performance the musician loses their place, their confidence shatters, and they freeze up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Sian Beilock (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonandschuster.com\/books\/Choke\/Sian-Beilock\/9781416596189\"><em>Choke<\/em><\/a>) explains the science behind why unfamiliar situations cause you to freeze up. When you\u2019re faced with a situation you know well, you experience stimulation in the portions of your brain responsible for the actions associated with that situation. However, in an unfamiliar situation, those parts of the brain aren\u2019t as active because your brain doesn\u2019t <em>have<\/em> associated actions, and therefore, you can\u2019t respond as quickly. Since the Great only plan for specific situations, it follows that their brains can only respond with immediate action to those specific circumstances.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Great Need <strong>Recognition From Others<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Grover argues that the inconsistent confidence of this type of person also means that <strong>they crave recognition<\/strong>\u2014they try to ward off their fear and self-doubt by<strong> <\/strong>having others acknowledge their successes. However, other people can\u2019t get rid of the Great\u2019s insecurities; truly doing so requires developing Unstoppable confidence and focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Unstoppable People<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we understand what relentlessness is and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/different-types-of-feedback\/\">two types of people<\/a> that will hold you back from it, we\u2019ll look at the qualities of the last of the three types of people: the Unstoppable, who are consistently relentless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Unstoppable have a need to succeed that they achieve through three different principles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/never-stop-improving\/\">Never stop improving<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Put intense pressure on yourself&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Use any means necessary<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Grover says that constantly seeking improvement is a crucial part of doing everything you can to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/steps-to-achieve-your-goals\/\">achieve your goals<\/a>, and therefore is crucial for acting relentlessly. In addition, by constantly pushing as hard as you can to improve<strong>, <\/strong>you\u2019ll<strong> better understand what you\u2019re capable of and how you can use those capabilities <\/strong>to succeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How many types of people are there in the world?
