Watching the last few holes of the Memorial golf tournament on Sunday was a familiar scene, Tiger Woods hunting down PGA Tour victory #73, tying Jack Nicklaus' win total, and in sight of Sam Snead at 82 PGA Tour wins. I'm always fascinated how when Tiger is in contention, his playing partners often crumble, evidenced in this case by Ricky Fowler, shooting an almost unfathomable 84 vs. Tiger's 67. Tiger's typical dominant Sunday play often intimidates other players. This goes with one of his memorable quotes: "I want to be what I've always wanted to be: Dominant." The Top Gun mentality always begins with knowing what you want. You cannot hit a target that you cannot see. Another Tiger quote: "I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for - getting paid for doing what you love." These are the two main ingredients in the Top Gun recipe. Do you love what you do for a living? Are you crystal clear on what you want? Most people do not love what they do, and tend to focus on what they don't have vs. what they want. The Top Gun focus gives freedom to move beyond conditioned ideas that may be self-limiting. Do some self analysis in this regard; write down your reasons for loving what you do, and list clear goals for your activities and production. Review these often and follow through to be what you have always wanted to be: a TOP GUN!
