    <p>We like to think that we have a lot of winners on the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast, whether they are in real estate or not. We may have one of the biggest winners on today's show. <a href="https://timgrover.com/"><strong>Tim Grover</strong></a>, <strong>trainer to Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant</strong> joins us to talk about <strong>overcoming adversity, </strong><a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/develop-winning-mindset"><strong>developing a winning mindset</strong></a><strong>, finding what makes you fail,</strong> and his new book, accurately titled <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Winning-Unforgiving-Race-Greatness-Grover-ebook/dp/B08LF3LD7S/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&amp;keywords=winning&amp;qid=1620313377&amp;sr=8-2"><em>Winning: The Unforgiving Race to Greatness</em></a><em>. </em></p><p>Tim argues that one of the<strong> hardest things to succeed in is business</strong> since there are so many factors that influence success. When you own or run a business, you’re <strong>constantly being thrown curveballs (like a </strong><a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/personal-finance-pandemic"><strong>global pandemic</strong></a><strong> tied with government shutdowns)</strong>. So how do you succeed when there is a constantly changing game plan?<strong> You adapt, you overcome, and you mitigate failure.</strong></p><p>These are the<strong> exact lessons</strong> that Tim taught to his high-profile clients, like <strong>Michael Jordan </strong>and <strong>Kobe Bryant</strong>, arguably the two greatest basketball players of all time. Before MJ and Kobe became the best, they had to <strong>master </strong><a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/habits-that-will-make-you-millions"><strong>being average</strong></a>, then being good, then being great. So many people want to take shortcuts to greatness, not understanding that mastering those different levels is what truly puts you on a different stage than those who master the average level and give up.</p><p>In This Episode We Cover:</p><ul>
