Description
If you're into golf and also trying to run a business, then you're a lot like me. I used to play golf for a living, now I run an online marketing agency. I'm documenting my journey, the people, tips, advice, mistakes, and crazy thoughts to help.
Here's what I believe about both golf and business:
1. Both are challenging, but don't need to be complicated - simple and consistent is best.
2. Large and infrequent improvement sessions aren't optimal - light, regular refinements are much better.
3. There's no magic pill (sorry) - it's about making the most of the time you're spending.
