Lessons Learned...
Anyone who witnessed the recently concluded US Open golf tournament at Torrey Pines had to be impressed with the performance of Tiger Woods. Only seven weeks from having knee surgery, Tiger not only proclaimed he was ready to play, but confident that he would win. After five rounds of grueling competition, and walking ninety one holes at the equivalent of over twenty one miles, he did win!!

The lessons that we can all learn from his performance are numerous. Tiger willed himself to not only compete, but compete at the highest level. He persevered when most people would have not even tried or given up at the first signs of pain or failure. He simply kept his eye on the prize, and would not settle for anything less than total victory.

While the business course we all navigate each day continues to present unique challenges, traps, and hazards, our attitude will determine the outcome. Are you absolutely determined to win? Do you settle for substandard performances from yourself and others? Does the competition intimidate you? Are you 100% focused on the course set before you?

There is a Champion in all of us. Let the spirit of excellence guide your efforts each day!
