Marathons and Exit Planning – A Different Approach

Remember, to get to the finish line successfully, you’ll need a plan.

Marathons and Exit Planning

I completed the Baltimore Marathon on October 10. Finishing the marathon achieved a personal goal, after a few months of long training runs (three over twenty miles) and overcoming a little nervousness. The easy thing to do here would be to compare the building of a business to the running of a marathon. So let’s do it.

Marathons and business ownership

Building a business, like running, is easier if you’re not doing it alone. If you’re not hitting on all cylinders for business (or your career), consider getting a proven business coach to improve your results. Remember, in down business cycles, you have to think differently to achieve outstanding results.

Marathon commitment – help from my friends

While I’m not a real speedster, I have finished around two hours in each race, at about a 9:00 minute per mile pace. If you’re a runner and can do a half-marathon at a faster pace than that, I bet you run and train regularly.
