Lessons from Winning a Premiership: How Playing the Long Game is Shaping My View in Business For 15 years, I chased a childhood dream—to win a premiership for my club. It was a journey filled with countless setbacks, relentless work, and many hours on the training track and in the gym. I’d wondered so often, What happens if we actually win one? How would it actually feel? And when we finally did—it was a defining moment. Since finishing playing and taking some time to reflect on all the highs and lows, what I learned was that success wasn't about a single game or that season in isolation. Achieving the ultimate success was a cherry on top, but it didn’t define me or everything else I had done. In the long run, the journey of getting there was the best part—I had built resilience, a work ethic, and an appreciation for delayed gratification that have become invaluable in business. So many people want success right now but aren’t willing to grind it out or give up after the first try. Achieving ultimate success requires self-belief, team commitment, and constant growth. In football, it was about showing up for every game, believing in ourselves, and respecting the process. In business, it’s the same: laying foundations, believing in your vision, and putting in the hours even when results seem far off. Winning taught me that long-term dedication and the hard work behind the scenes aren’t just for sports; they’re the backbone of lasting success in anything we pursue.
