Here at AKMG, we strive for success. We strive for success as a collective group and each one us of strives for our own personal growth and success. Tiger wasn’t born successful. He had to work at it every day of his life and he continues to work at it to remain at the top. AKMG shares this same philosophy. We are always looking for ways to improve our company, our people and our relationships and have fun along the way!

Yesterday I found this great article that summarizes Tiger Woods rules for success and it matches quite closely with ours. Here they are in no particular order:

1. Constant and Never Ending Improvement

“No matter how good you get you can always get better and that’s the exciting part.” ~Tiger Woods

2. A Bigger Plan

“I think it’s an honor to be a role model to one person or maybe more than that. If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person’s life in a positive light, and that’s what I want to do. That’s what it’s all about.” ~Tiger Woods

3. Embrace Defeat

“I’m trying as hard as I can, and sometimes things don’t go your way, and that’s the way things go.” ~Tiger Woods

4. Take Life Lightly

“If you can’t laugh at yourself, then who can you laugh at?” ~Tiger Woods

5. Don’t Stop

“Tiger may have used his golf club as a cane, but he refused to use his injury as a crutch.” ~Brian Clark

6. Live Your Own Expectations

“One of the things that my parents have taught me is never listen to other people’s expectations. You should live your own life and live up to your own expectations, and those are the only things I really care about it.” ~Tiger Woods

7. Do What You Love

“I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for - getting paid for doing what you love.” ~Tiger Woods

8. Focus

“My main focus is on my game.”~Tiger Woods

9. Pay it Forward

“My dad has always taught me these words: care and share. That’s why we put on clinics. The only thing I can do is try to give back. If it works, it works.” ~Tiger Woods

10. Learn from All Mistakes

“The only thing you can do is take a learning experience from it, positives and negatives, and apply them to the future. What did you do right, what did you do wrong, and I did a lot of things right this week” ~Tiger Woods

11. Celebrate Your Victories

“It’s been a lot of fun to see some fruits of my hard labor.”~Tiger Woods

12. Pay No Attention to Naysayers (my personal favorite)

“You know, all the nay-sayers said that I was doing the wrong things. They can understand why now I made those changes.” ~Tiger Woods
