1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 I shot a 78 the other day, the first time I've ever broken 80, and it changed how I see winning in every area of life. The lesson had nothing to do with perfect shots and everything to do with minimizing damage, staying present, and refusing to let one bad moment become a bad stretch. In this episode, I walk through exactly how the golf course mirrors the decisions we face in business, relationships, and personal growth. If you've ever felt like you need a heroic comeback to get back on track, this episode will completely reframe your approach. Key Takeaways You don't have to do everything right to win. You just have to minimize what goes wrong. A bad shot doesn't have to become a bad hole, and a bad hole doesn't have to become a bad round or a bad quarter. Attempting a hero shot when you're in trouble often puts you in a worse position. Smart, small moves get you back in play. Staying present on the current shot, meeting, or task is the only way to perform at your best. Staying in the game when you want to quit is often how you figure out what works and build momentum for your best performance. Action Steps The next time something goes wrong, resist the urge to overcorrect. Ask yourself: what is the smallest move that gets me back in play? Celebrate your personal milestones out loud. Write down one recent win that mattered to you, regardless of whether anyone else noticed. Identify one area where you have been quitting early. Commit to staying in the game one round longer to discover what you can learn. Notable Quote A bad shot doesn't have to be a bad hole. A bad hole doesn't have to be a bad three or four holes. You got to leave the last one behind you.
