Golf and business
We play golf using a small ball that goes into a small hole with the use of ill-designed tools. For entrepreneurs, they find solutions by undertaking tasks that seem impossible with inadequate resources, team, and capital.
Playing golf is one way that helps to build vital business acumen. Golf is a relaxed sport that makes a relationship between the players and provides several lessons.
Both golf and entrepreneurship require knowledge of the course for them to pay. A golf player familiarizes themself with the direction he is playing by practicing around the study course and sketching out the fields. This familiarization increases the chances of winning shots in the actual game. In the same mindset, an entrepreneur ensures that he has a clear view of the market and audience to enable him to gather information necessary for decision making before venturing into a business.
Both golf and business require strategy. A strategical golfer makes his shots without just aiming the hole. He considers the distance and the slope of the field and the hazard before attacking. In the same way, an entrepreneur plans on how to take maximum advantage of gathered information in his decision-making criteria. A golfer reasons on how to draw closer to a hole which is far away, same sense an entrepreneur chooses a strategy for success in case of inadequate resources.
In conclusion, for entrepreneurs, virtual golf playing equips them with essential skills, among them honesty and integrity, which are vital in any effective operation of the business. Besides, it gives them chances to know how to re-think and re-strategize new skills for success in case the old skills don’t work.
