No one ever drowned in sweat!

Read A Free Chapter

Life is full of resistance seeking to sink your dreams.

It takes hard work plus a daily dose of G.R.I.T. to overcome this resistance and reach your goals. G.R.I.T. stands for Guts, Resilience, Initiative and Tenacity which Scott Petinga, Chief Troublemaker at The Scott Petinga Group, says are the foundational ingredients necessary to get the journey started, keep momentum going, effectively handle hurdles along the way, and stick with the task until the destination is reached. 

Scott knows about adversity… and failure.

He flunked out of school, was kicked out of the Marines, has been fired from jobs, went through a divorce and is suffering through one of the greatest tests of all… being diagnosed with cancer. In spite of the harsh setbacks, Scott has used G.R.I.T. to get back up after being knocked down and forge ahead towards the fulfillment of his dreams.  

In No One Ever Drowned in Sweat, Scott breaks down each trait of G.R.I.T. 

and how to successfully use them to reach your goals. Besides sharing his own experiences, Scott adds words of wisdom from interviews of over 50 notable CEOs, entrepreneurs, nonprofit heads, thought leaders athletes, everyday heroes, academics and forward thinkers from all walks of life.  

You’ll learn how these traits are the driving force...

that makes things happen, even if you don’t have a formal education. As a matter of fact, Scott explains how it is the elements of G.R.I.T. that are needed to restore the business world which has grown basically weak and unproductive because corporate heads have valued those with educational parchments and alphabetical titles over those with the characteristics of G.R.I.T.

About Scott

Scott Petinga doesn't let much get in his way.

From overcoming cancer to building over a dozen start-ups and three non-profits, Scott has built a career on his ability to overcome adversity and achieve success. His drive and ambition are apparent in every venture he takes on.

As an executive, Scott has steered multiple start-ups from launch to maturity, resulting in combined revenues of $100M—but his life’s work is to leave his mark on society through building a portfolio of charitable businesses with a blend of entrepreneurship and philanthropy. Coined “socialpreneurship” this approach fuses his business and philanthropic initiatives into one cohesive mission and vision.

But above all, he's a man of action—driven to accomplish everything he sets his mind to.  Never content with the status quo, he dreams big and executes bigger.  Whether he's enhancing revenue or streamlining business operations, Scott brings a keen eye for business strategy and brilliant marketing skills to the table.

Over the years, Scott has garnered a reputation for pushing boundaries in every aspect of his life. His ability to accomplish any mission, quickly and on budget, draws upon his training as a Marine and his commitment to working with the best people to get things done.

In addition to his entrepreneurial endeavors, Scott is an accomplished author and public speaker who frequently shares his life’s wisdom and experience with nationally recognized publications (Forbes, Men's Health, Thrive Global, New York Times, Fast Company, Esquire, HuffPost and Entrepreneur), as well as in his recently released memoir.

He lives between Minneapolis and Los Angeles and is a proud ‘girl dad’ of three pretty amazing daughters.
