Tiger: "I'm Always Ready"

Tiger Woods roared back to the Tour yesterday by defeating Brendan Jones.

He was quoted as saying "It felt like business as usual" and "I entered this event with the same intentions I do with every event since I was a little boy. That's to win it. I'm always ready."

Tiger spent months rehabbing and getting prepared for his re-entry into the spotlight. When he came back, it was as if he had never left. He returned to dominate. His key is preparation at a level that most people just can't fathom.

Are you prepared to win? Are you "always ready?" What kind of intentions do you have when you play sports, do business or build personal relationships? Are you really prepared to win?

Today, take a page from Tiger's playbook and take the stance of "I'm always ready." Prepare to win, tee up that opportunity and swing away!
