1 Unique Similarity Between A Marathon Runner And A Successful Entrepreneur tvdmexonline.com /a-successful-entrepreneur/ TVD
The difference between an ordinary entrepreneur and a successful entrepreneur is as big as the difference between running a half-marathon and a complete marathon. As an entrepreneur, you will never completely understand how to be a successful entrepreneur until you reach your final goal, and start having success with your business. The same goes for runners. You can run 5k, 10k and half-marathons for years, but you will never understand what it takes to run a marathon (42k) until you run your first race. As a passionate runner and entrepreneur, I’m grateful to have both these activities on my life agenda. What I learn from being a successful entrepreneur helps me to understand what to change in my running. Entrepreneurship is a marathon and not a sprint. Nothing can be truer, but you can specify the synergies even further. Yesterday I ran a half-marathon in my old Swedish hometown. By the way, it is the oldest in a row long distance race worldwide without interruption. Since 1898 the race is a traditional yearly event. A couple of half-marathons is a natural part of my preparation for the most important events during the year. The two marathon races in my schedule for this year represent the core for the planning. The value of a half-marathon race for the upcoming marathon race has the same function as your entrepreneurial journey. It’s part of the project and not the final goal. There is one significant difference between a marathon and shorter races. In this article, we will reveal it all.
