How Marathon Running Can Make You A Better Entrepreneur tvdmexonline.com /a-better-entrepreneur/ TVD
Can you be a better entrepreneur by running around like a lone wolf? To become a better entrepreneur, there are certain things you can learn from marathon running. To be honest, I didn’t recognize it myself until I seriously started to run marathon races eight years ago. Although I have been doing a lot of sport for whole my life and even running shorter distances, the decision to go for a marathon (42.195 meters) required a lot of courage and motivation. It was evident for me what I needed to do to even dream about crossing the finish line of a marathon race. A few years later I found out that precisely the same courage and motivation is the fuel you need to start up your own business as an independent entrepreneur. To run a marathon race without problems and with joy, you need one year of appropriate training. The same goes for your business. You will be a better entrepreneur if you mentalize yourself from the very beginning that it will take some time before you can see the expected results. To make that happen, it requires an appropriate “training program.” Among all scams and false promises out there in the cyber world, I was lucky to come across the Six Figure Mentors at an early phase. Without any doubt, it was a tool that helped me to become a better entrepreneur and online marketer.
To Be A Better Entrepreneur And Marathon Runner Is Very Much About The Same Process The same way I followed the training and blueprint provided by the Six Figure Mentors, my marathon training got started. Tough! Yes, often. But the personal commitment and motivation will push you through the most difficult days and training sessions. Persistence is the common word for both activities. It’s funny, but when you have a professional training program in detail, there is a built-in mechanism refraining you from quitting, those days when you would like to burn your running shoes and through your computer out of the window. The 13th of December, 2009, after one year of serious training, the first race was going to take place. Without any experience from marathon races, I remember that I felt very comfortable anyway. I relied on my training performed without interruptions. The training set up was aimed for a time of 4 hours, and with 4:02:16 I could book the first marathon race on my experience account. After 20 marathon races since then, the gained experience has been a useful fine-tune of everything from training, preparations before a race and how to deal with the famous “wall” that always appears as a monster when it’s still 30% left to the finish line. 1/4
