The more I practice the luckier I get

The best way you can practice in business is by continually looking at trying to get better. Take James Dyson – a business hero of mine. He knows all about practice. He practiced his revolutionary bag less vacuum cleaner 5,000 times before he got it right. Yep 5,000 prototypes. The net result was $10 billion in sales worldwide, so I think it paid off, don’t you? You absolutely must make sure that you are putting time and funding into research and development so that you can make continuous improvements in your product, keeping it on the forefront.

How do you get to Carnegie Hall…?

Practice….. Watch Tiger Woods or Ernie Els building up to a big shot. He’s chosen his club and he’s stepped up to the ball. Watch what he does next. He’s in practice mode, and will practice until he feels he can hit the shot they way he wants to. He is feeling the grass under the ball, if the grain of the grass is against him, if it is wet, how smoothly will the golf clubs for sale get through the grass, will it wrap around the shaft and all the other things that you just learn from hitting the shot a million times. You should be practicing your business shots too, like user testing your website again and again, and then making improvements based on customer feedback. Make sure that your product is the very best that it can be.

Be trend-forward to future-proof your business

Think like Target stores. They say that if you want to have your products placed in a Target store it must be “trend-forward”. Selling trend-forward stuff makes them unique. One of the greatest marketers of our generation is Madonna. She’s just launched a line of “Material Girl” clothing, designed by Madonna and her daughter Lourdes specifically for the junior market, exclusively into 200 of Macy’s stores. Love her or loathe her, you’ve got to take your hat off to her; she epitomizes what a great brand should be: current, relevant to the target audience and always “trend forward”. Are you making your product the best it can be?

Personally, golf is an exceptional sport for many reasons. Since you don’t need anyone to hit the ball back to you, and it’s just you and the golf course, you are not competing against anyone. That being said it physically makes for an inviting sport for spouses, siblings and families to play.

You can learn so much from your playing partner by the actions he or she carries out on the golf course.

Some things to observe are:

1. Cheating
2. Misrepresenting their score (ahem, cheating)
3. Shouting absentees
4. Throwing clubs ( Callaway FT-iQ Driver )
5. Stomping feet
6. Mistreating the caddy
7. Neatness in appearance

You can learn a lot by observing what they do and don’t do. Many top executives will not do business with someone until they play golf with them. Now you understand why.

To golf clubs, I think there are no strict standards. Both cheap golf clubs and discount golf clubs are OK. After all it can show your economic strength.

How you can get started in golf:

1. Take lessons with a professional golf instructor
2. Understand the important rules and etiquette of golf.
3. Play with friends until you feel comfortable enough to entertain on your own.
4. Join the EWGA (an executive women’s golf league). It forces you to get out there and play
5. Subscribe to a golf magazine (Golf for Women, Golf Digest, Golf Magazine)
Learn to play golf and you will learn to play better business!

How does Zen apply to golf?

The Western idea is that golf is a competition, both with the opponent and also with one’s self. The basic idea is to win, to defeat that other guy. As such, we practice, we study, we try (hard). At a very deep level, we play to re-enforce our ego, our sense of worth, to others and — most importantly — to ourselves. If we don’t play well, then we aren’t worth much.

Here again, the Eastern idea is the polar opposite. Winning and losing doesn’t make any sense (if there is only one person in the room) and the Easterner knows that he can’t force anything to happen through his own will. They just play with their golf clubs and enjoy the game.  He knows that everything happens through the Whole, and so his approach to golf is to use it as a means of connecting with the Whole, to let the Whole move the ball through him. He allows his golf to happen, he doesn’t demand that it happen.

While nearly everyone can grasp the obvious benefits of playing golf in business sales and negotiation situations, fewer people understand how to find other ways to use golf in business to drum up new customers.

While anyone who plays can invite a colleague, vendor, or co-worker for a round of 18 holes, how can the lone golfer benefit from the magic powers of golf in business?

No matter what size community your business is located in, there are advertising, marketing and sponsoring opportunities tied to golf in business as well. You can sponsor local golf tournaments, or even start a tournament yourself that carry’s your company’s name. If your business is oriented towards school-age children, donating golf shirts to the high school golf club is a great way to reach prospective customers and grab some golf in business publicity at the same time.

Besides discount golf clubs, custom-printed golf towels, golf balls, golf hats, and other golf accessories make fine golf in business gifts as well. There are plenty of advertising speciality companies that can print these golf in business items up in any quantity that you need.

You don’t have to be a player to reap the benefits. You just need a golf in business strategy that’s capable of getting your name on to the links even if your body remains in the office. So the key to leveraging golf in business is to think outside the box.

Invitation
Whether you extend the invitation or are the invited, make sure you arrive at least 30 minutes before your tee time so you can get settled by checking in with the pro shop and maybe purchasing some practice balls or cheap golf clubs  such as TaylorMade R9 Driver for yourself and your partner.

Getting to the Course
Before inviting, make sure your partner knows how to get to the course and understands any fee structures if you are requiring him to pay. If you have not been to the course before, call the pro shop and ask what clothing options are acceptable and get a rundown of amenities such as locker rooms.

Courtesy First
Make sure to extend every courtesy to your partner. Insist on buying the first round of drinks and snacks from the beverage cart. Always compliment your partner on a good shot and offer a brief consolation or none at all after a poor shot from your partner.

Benefit of the Doubt
Never question your partner’s integrity on the course. If he is blatantly cheating, let him have his way. If he is particularly slow, do not hurry him. If he offers unsolicited advice, accept it graciously.

The Bet
If your partner wants to place a wager on your round, accept it and do not get into an intense discussion about the rules of the contest. To put yourself at ease, consider it money that is being spent as an investment in strengthening a business relationship.

Others
If you and your partner decide to enjoy a beverage after the round, be sure to buy the first round, and be careful to not drink too much or to discuss your workplace or coworkers too much. Also, prepare for the golf equipment in advance.
