TAYLOR'S AMONG AN ELITE GROUP OF SUCCESS MAKERS...
What does Taylor Hicks, Joanne Jo Rowling and Eldrick Woods have in common?

“For at least one time in each of their lives, they were an overnight success.

Even though they experienced an overnight success...”even a cursory scanning of their lives shows they paid their dues for some time before success found them. In fact, the overnight success they experienced came after years of disappointment, standing on the bottom rung of the ladder, and in some cases, not even being near the ladder.

Eldrick “Tiger” Woods…. ”has been called by some a "golfing prodigy", and that is not an unrealistic assessment. However, even a Tiger Woods does not get to where he is today by strapping on a set of cleats and wandering out onto a golf course with a nine iron and a dream. He learns, practices, fails, assesses, moves forward, falls down, gets up, and starts all over again. In other words, an overnight success very seldom happens overnight. The success comes after a lot of effort on the part of the successful person.”
