Do You Have What It Takes To Be An Entrepreneur of golf including driving, putting, sand shots, short iron, medium iron, long iron, Chip shots, pitch shots etc.Q: I am interested in starting my own business. I have a business degree and lots of experience in my chosen field, but I don't know if I have the necessary skills to really make it on my own. Any advice? Marie C.A: You've hit the nail on the head, Marie, because when you're an entrepreneur it's truly up to you to make it on your own.

Now I can't prove this but I bet he has more hours on the driving range than anyone else his age. Sure he's good. Sure he has talent. His success though comes from deliberate practice. That's what most people miss. Not related to this article but something I saw on the golf Channel last night. Tiger Woods, early in his career, asked someone in the clubhouse who's the guy still hitting golf balls on the driving range in the rain? The response was, "Arnold Palmer." Anyone can become great. You can too, if you willing to pay the price. Here's an interesting line from the article. "To see how the researchers could reach such a conclusion, consider the problem they were trying to solve. In virtually every field of endeavor, most people learn quickly at first, then more slowly, and then stopped developing completely. Yet a few do improve for years and even decades, and go on to greatness." So why is it only a few go on to achieve the ultimate - greatness? Apparently it has something to do with that 10 year rule - commonly referred to by researchers. Regardless of the field, it usually takes 10 years of really hard work to achieve any kind of world-class status. And most researchers say 10 years is the minimum amount of hard work and dedication required for greatness. Back to Tiger Woods. He had 15 years of practice under his belt and in his head before he won the US Amateur Championship when he was 18. So, if you want to become a sales champion you have to push yourself even harder.
