Tiger Woods, your business and failure
The name Tiger Woods is synonymous with success. For years, he has dominated the world’s golf scene as the leader of the pack. Remarkable shots, daily determination, persistence, courage and skill have kept Woods center stage.
Today, Woods is again center stage. He has failed. Somewhere along the line, and having absolutely nothing to do with his ability to golf, Tiger has become human. His story is providing fodder for news channels, entertainment reports, water cooler banter and Twitter tweets.
Will the latest be the greatest on Tiger?
Readers know the stories fade. Success is not a weekly snapshot, or based on rare occurrences. Success is the outcome of what you do on a daily basis. Tiger’s woes will soon be forgotten, when someone else is found out for their foibles. Success is not an event, it is a strategy.
Your business success is not based on today’s story
Small business owners face the challenge of failure as well as success. Some days are so rough, it takes everything you have not to toss in the towel and walk away. Failures, whether they are with employees, bankers, partners, products or customers remind owners of the long list of other reasons they have collected to quit.
Here are the top 5 reasons not to quit today:
- It’s Wednesday: Things could get better before the end of the week.
- People have believed in you until this moment – they bought your product, purchased your service, and trust you have the power to deliver.
- Failure is not the antithesis of success – quitting, because you feel you have no other choice, is.
- Tomorrow is a different day – with different outcomes and anything is possible.
- Tiger won’t quit today.
