From Professional Golf to Accounting: Importance of Vision and Conviction in Business with Anne Gannon (E12)

May 31, 2023

On this episode of Flipping The Lid, Anne Gannon shares about her journey from pro golfer to becoming a certified public accountant (CPA) and starting her own business. She shared how golf and entrepreneurship are similar in terms of mindset and perspective of opportunities in difficult situations.

We talked on the emotional drain from difficult situations, and how reviving relationships with people who know the “real you” can create a safe and supportive environment for personal growth. And on the opportunities for smaller, more agile businesses to thrive during times of change.

Anne made special emphasis on the importance of maintaining a positive attitude and training oneself mentally.
