Top 10 Lesson Golf teaches us about business success.
Just for the fun of it – here is my take (and my game)!
1) You need to set a realistic goal —> I wanted to consistently be between 94-96 (on 18 and no mulligans – they are not a thing 😊)
2) Adjust your goal as you learn and improve —> my goal used to be “just break 100”
3) Be honest with how you are doing —> sometimes it hurts to lose a ball and take a stroke, but how do you know if you are improving if you don’t accurately assess?
4) Small improvements matter to hitting you long term goal —> you don’t improve overnight.
5) Keep the focus —> If you get distracted you will likely not hit the ball well.
6) Be intentional and thoughtful —> Where are you aiming, how big is your swing, are their obstacles to avoid?
7) Work through your frustrations, don’t stew on the past, think of the next shot with a clear mind --> You will make mistakes, learn and move on!
8) Sometimes it is awful —> don’t give up – dust off and come back to try again.
9) Learn from others —> What are things they are doing to adjust and succeed.
10) Have fun —> When you are relaxed and “present” you usually do your best.
