Blogging Is Like Golf!

So the picture above is from my golf game recently at the Wild Cats Golf course here in Houston. It was a great day and while playing I realized that golf is like blogging and I made a short list in my head about how the two are alike.
1) Patience is Key - Golf is not a game to be played in a hurry as you always have to line up your shots and so forth. In Blogging, its the same thing. You cannot expect to be successful overnight as it takes time and hard work to finally achieve success. You need to realize that Making Money Online isnt the same as Making QUICK Money Online. Success and Money will come with time. So, be patient!
2) Practice Your Swing - Just as you practice your swing in golf before teeing off, you need to experiment as a blogger. You need to keep coming up with ideas to try out and set yourself apart from the rest of the bloggers in your niche. Thats the only way to gain an audience and succeed.
3) Plan Ahead - As you might expect, when you golf you need to plan your shots ahead of time. In Blogging, it works in a similar manner in that you need to get a head start on things and make sure you plan your posts, your contests, etc ahead of time so that you have everything down right.
4) Aim for the Hole - Just as you aim for the hole in golf, you aim for success in Blogging. I believe that in life you don’t achieve anything if you lose your motivation or set your goals such that they are not hard to achieve. You need to set your goals high and do the best that you can to achieve that goal.
Well, hopefully this post was interesting. I surely had a great time golfing this morning but hopefully this post was interesting to you guys. Let me know what you think about it. Happy Mid-Week everyone!

Hey good comparison…do you golf alot? I have only golfed 9 holes ever but do go mini-golfing from time to time.
This was actually the first time I played all 18 holes. It was a lot of fun and I didnt even have to pay for it so it made it better. It was a Golfing trip planned by PwC.
Yes I agree! Blogging is about patience. My friend told me how was he kept on writing for about 2 months and no body visited his blog yet.
