Which Is Harder - Running an Ultra or Running a Business? (Part 2)
Manage episode 436918749 series 2971078
Explore the compelling parallels between the grit required for running an ultra-marathon and the resilience needed to masterfully manage an independent estate agency.
In this riveting episode, our hosts Sam & Jenna dive deep into the intense preparation that both challenging feats demand. Does training for an ultra-marathon, often exceeding 6 hours, compare to the relentless effort in running a successful business? Discover how breaking down a mammoth 68-mile run into smaller, manageable chunks can offer invaluable lessons for estate agency owners seeking to conquer their goals one step at a time.
"Running a 50-mile race is akin to running an estate agency," Sam explains. They emphasise the importance of setting achievable short-term goals, managing daily tasks, and maintaining a steady resolve to drive your agency forward. Jenna likens this approach to organising tasks in a notebook, turning daunting chores into tangible progress.
