I’ve played golf for 4 years.
Recently, while traveling, I got paired with a new friend who’s been playing… 4 months.
Similar score, his slightly better.
He even gave me a chipping tip that landed instantly. “How!?”
He smiled:
“I’m weird about it. I’ve played every day for 4 months. No misses. And I meet a coach twice a week to tune the basics.”
It hit me:
Consistency + coaching beats time served.
Not just in golf—in business.
If you want compounding results:
- Do one deliberate rep daily (30 focused minutes > 2 random hours).
- Get regular feedback (a coach, a peer review, a customer).
- Improve one tiny skill at a time (like my chipping).
- Track it for 30 days. Then decide what to double.
How long you’ve done it matters less than the daily commitment you’ve placed into the effort.
I left with a better short game—and a better golf week.
What’s your 30-minute daily rep for the next month?
