Well-Oiled Machine | Turning Reaction Into Response

Fairways to Fortune | Why Process Always Trumps Expectations
In today’s episode, Virgil Herring and I discuss how resilience, preparation, and trust in a proven process help us recover when strong starts, certain deals, or perfect shots fall apart. Virgil compares my son’s comeback after two difficult opening holes with Rory McIlroy’s ability to overcome early mistakes under pressure. We explain why past failures cannot control the present, and why outcomes beyond our control should not force us to abandon what works. Through lessons from golf and business, we share how controlling the controllable, releasing expectations, and continuing to take action create lasting confidence, perspective, and opportunity. Success begins with staying in the game long enough to improve.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
