I’ve always been fascinated by how marathon runners build mental resilience alongside physical endurance pacing themselves, adapting to setbacks, and staying focused on long-term goals. It got me wondering: could those same principles apply to scaling a startup?
Runners don’t sprint the whole race; they conserve energy, adjust their stride, and listen to their body. Startups often push for hypergrowth, but maybe there’s something to learn from the deliberate, steady approach of endurance training. Has anyone here drawn parallels between athletic discipline and business growth? Curious to hear if others have tried applying that mindset!
