10 hours on the treadmill for every game of golf

by Rick Baker
On Nov 29, 2012

Many people enjoy the game of golf.

If you are one of them...please read on.

The people who are really good at golf tend to play regularly, say 3 times per week during the golf season.

Question: how would these good golfers react if they had to spend 10 hours on a treadmill for every game of golf they play?

Would that spoil golf for them?

***

Statistics show people at work are engaged, using their personal talents, skills & strengths, about 30% of the time. That means for every hour they work in their strengths zones they spend about 2 hours doing work/things outside their strengths zones.

That amounts to 10 hours of treadmill for every game of golf.

***

The next time you feel the urge to play a round of golf, force yourself to do 10 hours of treadmill before hitting the links. Then check to see how motivated you are to continue to be a regular performer on the golf course.

Thought Tweet #619 The need for clear differential advantage and crisp value propositions is increasing.

 

The Thinking  Behind The Tweet

Social media has created a huge volume of information - available and accessible to buyers. And, buyers do their homework. They can sift the chaff of lame marketing and sales thoughts with the blink of a mouse or keypad.

Social media has created a huge volume of information - available and accessible to strategists and marketers. And, it can overwhelm strategists and marketers. Time to get back to the "PQS basics".
