Be Like Tiger? (Part II)

By Jay Treadway

August 4th, 2009

Tiger Woods has done it again. This past weekend he won his 69th tournament in just over 10 years on tour! He now only follows Sam Sneed and Jack Nicklaus on the all-time wins list. And, he’s done it much faster than the other two. Seven years faster than Nicklaus and eight years faster than Sneed. Remarkable stuff.

So, as far as golf goes, there is Tiger up here and everyone else down there. No doubt about it. Since 2006 he has won 21 of 39 tournaments he has played. His skills are remarkable. He plays with essentially the same clubs and balls as everyone else, but he wins over 50% of the time!  I play golf so I know how hard it is to accomplish what he has done.

I think what Tiger has done has a parallel in business. We at Treadway Graphics/Geiger try every day to be the best at what we do. In our case, we sell essentially the same merchandise as a lot of other people.  Everybody knows that. However, we try real hard to make sure that this is the only similarity we have with our competitors.

 Isn’t that what we all want? To be like Tiger? The best of the best? I know I do. Whether you’re a police man, teacher, businessman or student you should try to be the best you can be. In business, if you’re not the best, you’re just one of the rest. That’s a big hill to climb and some days we fail and fall down that hill a short distance. But the next day we pick ourselves up and continue the climb. 

I hope my customers would say that Treadway Graphics/Geiger “is up here and the others are down there.” That would be very satisfying. We try to be the best of the best, just like Tiger. I’m sure you want to do the same. Good luck to you (and me)!
