Adversity Quotient is essential for success. A person will never rise to the mental fitness challenge until he develops it. The formula for AQ is: AQ = IQ (Intelligence) + EQ (Emotional) + WQ (Will). When a person combines these three factors, he has an unbeatable AQ. Indeed, I have never met a champion in any field that hasn’t mastered the concept of AQ.
When I wrote RESOLVED: 13 Resolutions for LIFE, I attempted to place the concepts of AQ in another resolution. However, AQ refused to stay out! In fact, as I wrote the book, I realized that without AQ, all the other resolutions are not enough. For many times, a person will do many things right, but just won’t stick around long enough for the success recipe to gel. This is where AQ delivers the secret sauce for success.
Are you rising mentally to the challenge of AQ in your life? Here is a short video to help you on the journey. Sincerely, Orrin Woodward
