Golf is a sport that rewards patience. You can’t rush a good shot, just as you can’t force a good deal. Every stroke requires attention to detail, a clear strategy, and the discipline to execute without distraction. Over the years, I’ve found that the lessons I’ve learned on the course translate directly into how I approach business.

Patience is the first. In golf, the results of your preparation aren’t always immediate — sometimes, a hole is won by resisting the temptation to take risks too soon. In business, the same principle applies. The biggest wins often come from waiting for the right opportunity, not the first one.

On the course, a single lapse in concentration can undo the work of several good holes.

Finally, the long game. In golf, you’re not playing to win one hole; you’re playing to win the match. In business, I look beyond quarterly results. Every decision should build toward a legacy — something that will stand long after the current market cycle has passed.
