Minor improvements

I write a lot about my golf game on this blog as I see a lot of similarities to my career and running a startup. Like building a company, learning and improving in golf is a grind. It doesn’t happen overnight and can take months if not years to even see some sort of improvement.

Two years into playing golf, I am officially consistently shooting in the low 90s and finally feel like my swing is in a decent position. It took me two years to get to this point and I still haven’t even broken 90 once.

The startup grind often feels similar. You work your ass off and often don’t get immediate results. It can take months or even years to see the fruits of your labor.

They say golf is a mental game and I would say the same applies to startups. You need to mentally prepare to grind day in and day out despite not having immediate results.
