If you’re an entrepreneur, you’ve got to be mentally tough—or the world will break you. I learned that from studying the Spartans and from living it myself. The Spartan mindset is all about strength through purpose. Think about King Leonidas and his 300 warriors holding the line at Thermopylae. They didn’t surrender even when the Persian army surrounded them. They fought to the last breath because they had something bigger than themselves to fight for—their people. That’s what I want for you. Not just toughness for toughness’ sake, but strength that’s fueled by love, mission, and belief.

His first stand-up show was a failure, Hollywood rejected him, and everyone said he was too much—but he kept going. Get all the PDF summaries here: https://www.skool.com/believenation/classroom

Richard Branson believes success begins with a pen and paper. He’s filled hundreds of notebooks, calling them his most important business tool—more valuable than any phone or laptop. From scribbling on a plane to jotting down ideas mid-conversation, Branson never lets an idea slip away. Even when he once had no notebook, he wrote on his passport just to capture a thought. His belief is simple: an idea not written down is an idea lost. This habit became part of Virgin’s culture, with employees and even flight attendants seeing him pause to write down feedback or ideas that later shaped his billion-dollar empire.

Coco Chanel’s story is one of grit, reinvention, and courage. Abandoned at 12 and raised in a convent orphanage, she turned pain into purpose. The nuns taught her to sew, but Chanel dreamed of more than survival — she wanted freedom. At 18, she left the orphanage with nothing but her sewing skills and a desire to create her own life.
