What Gary Said. 

What Gary Said. 

“When people say it can't be done, what they are really saying is that it cant be done without getting uncomfortable”  Gary of House Halbert. 

The quote makes all the sense in the world. The only reason anyone can’t do anything that someone else has been able to do, for example, get more golfers to take lessons, lose weight, get better results, it really all comes down to not being willing to do the uncomfortable work necessary to get that result.

And this has nothing to do with laziness. 

let’s get some juicy tender meat out of the examples above. 

1) Any business will live and die on the number of qualified leads it can bring in. 

The more people who want what you have and can offer them, the more reddies you can bring in( Lets face it, even though they wouldn't admit it, most golfers could really do with some serious help), but to do the work necessary require’s putting the time in to find, nurture and add value to those leads so that when they need what you have to sell, you are the only golf pro they think of because the amount of value you have provided up until that point (and the more value you will provide after that point so they continue to come back).

2) Anyone can lose weight. There is more evidence than anything else about a calorie deficit  being the main factor in weight control. It’s not the only factor and if it’s not done right can mess with your body and you can feel like shxt, but if you burn more calories then you consume, that calorie deficit will be paid from somewhere, namely body fat (and muscle). 

But, to achieve that there has to be a change in your current comfort level (or at least the perception of what you believe will change your comfort). 

3) Anyone can get better at what they do. It just requires reps. Does this mean that with enough practice I can play on the tour NO, my shitness will be a huge limiting factor, but with enough hard work and correct practice, anything can be improved to a level where we can be better than we are now. But those reps will get us out of our comfort (or at least we will believe it will).

All of these things will make you uncomfortable but it’s the daily reps, off of a specific plan that builds up to the long term target that gets you the results you want. 

^ ^ ^ Read That Again Because It Is That Simple ^ ^ ^ 

Having a plan to follow that will give you the clarity to take the daily actions that lead up to your long term results is the easiest way to beat that uncomfortable-ness (new word).

Being consistent with what you do (so consistent that it actually becomes a habit) leads you to your desired outcome.

And thats why getting better at marketing is the key to improving your success. 

Having a simple system for adding more leads to your business and more slots filled in your diary. 

The added bonus of the two has a compound effect that builds on each other and means that you get exponentially better. Getting better at marketing carries over into other areas of your life. 

I use a simple plan, taking daily action, building to a specific long term target. 

It’s the best way to getting used to being uncomfortable and to stop making the same mistakes you always do and ending up with massive gaps in your diary.

Bollo-tics

Bollo-tics

My opinion on politics is extremely limited and goes as far as the belief that 95% of people voting have the same plan and that is...

Voting for who they despise the least. 

Not a great way to make decisions is it?

“Morning Sir. We’re conducting this survey and would to know which steaming pile of turd you would like to vote for?”

It reminds me of what Terry Venables (Remember him) once said about his ongoing battle with Alan Sugar when they were both at Tottenham, and that it was all "Bollo-tics".

Bollo-tics definition.. Taking an important subject that has a lot of political nature, add a load of bollox no one cares about and what you have is a plan that means anyone in the conversation will say anything to prove themselves right. 

“Everything we did was awesome and everything they did was rubbish” 

Personally, I don't think you can trust anyone who can't say...

“Hold tight a second, I admit that I messed that up, it was completely my fault and it won't happen again” 

You see this dude you can trust. He's not too busy to do his job because he’s not spending time hiding his mistakes. 

But the real ones we have to watch out for is the “It wasn't me it was him” fella. 

No, this one has to go. 

This type is the worst, he's always standing around a major disaster telling everyone who will listen why it's not his fault, and who 'IS to blame.

Unfortunately for him and fortunately for the rest of us, he ends up having everyone lose respect for him because it takes him too long to realise the truth that... 

Nobody's perfect and those who pretend they are, are just liars. 

So maybe it's a case that most people just vote for who they believe will lie the least. 

And who will talk the least amount of bollo-tics. 

When it comes to golf marketing, there is so much bollox-tics touted about that it seems its a case of just going with doing what everyone else is doing. 

Sending content based boring emails and posts and the odd, “Black friday” type deal. 

The is a much better way, a much easier way where you can learn to market to your best leads and have a laugh while doing it.

This system is  far from perfect, but it is simple and will make you stand out from all the other golf pros doing the same posts, videos and emails.

And this system is not for everybody (although anyone can do it) as  the bollox-tic types will get found out as the can't kid themselves and pretend that it is too much work and too difficult to do the work it takes to get the results they want. 

Like most politicians, they will just give lip services about how they:

“will change things” 

“will make things better” 

All the while kidding themselves and just doing nothing to actually get the results. 

This system is simple, not easy. 


But if that's not you. If you are someone who takes action, wants to get better and is the furthest thing from a politician then maybe its time to beat the bollo-tics and get serious results in your marketing and learn the skills that you can take into any industry.
