What Is Tenacity?

Everyone wants success, until things get hard.

That’s where tenacity takes over.

It’s not about talent, luck, or perfect timing.

It’s about showing up again after the “no,” the setback, the slow progress… and choosing not to quit.

As Scott Scovill puts it: “Tenacity isn’t about never falling down, it’s about refusing to stay there.”

Progress doesn’t always look like progress in the moment.

But if you stay consistent, stay focused, and keep moving forward, even in small steps, you’ll get further than most.

Keep going. That’s the edge.
