Golf courses are designed to influence the outcome and results of each player’s game. Then to keep it interesting, the seemingly easy and familiar is further challenged by the constant changing and unpredictability of natural elements like wind and rain.
This sets a constant changing challenge that keeps players intrigued and encouraged. This is what tests their skills and stretch their comfort zones. It is a mental game designed to challenge any golfer’s ability to think strategically while, at the same time testing adaptability and resilience.
HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO YOUR BUSINESS?
The course might look a little different, but it provides very similar challenges.
At their core both golfer and entrepreneur sign up for the challenge voluntarily knowing or oblivious to what lies ahead. Both start out with good intentions of playing the full course, but often the entrepreneur looses interest and throws in the towel beforerealising the full potential of the initial dream.
In a sense there is a lot that small business owners can learn from golf. If the concepts are applied correctly, small business owners will become resilient through learning to complete the challenge, however hard. They will learn to
think like an entrepreneur while having fun, become resourceful and successfully grow their business on higher levels than thought possible.
Now is perhaps the best time to start taking yourself and entrepreneuring seriously.
