The item that caught my eye is as follows:

Looks like -- despite some shaky swings on the final two pressure-packed holes in regulation -- the changes Woods has made under the supervision of instructor Hank Haney are paying off. After all, a major victory is a major victory. "Well, any time you make changes in your game, it's not going to be an immediate success," Woods said. "Did I probably take a step back? Yeah, probably did in '98 too, end of '97, all of '98 and the beginning of '99, almost two years where I didn't really do anything in the game of golf. "Then again, once those changes kicked in, I had a pretty good run, won 17 times on tour," he said. We might be headed for that kind of streak again.

When I was younger and was just starting my career, all I wanted was immediate gratification.
This passion for immediate results had me living paycheck to paycheck for years. It wasn’t until a number of years ago that I realized I had an error in my 'success philosophy'.

Tiger is making the same point that took me years to discover. SUCCESS and making money takes time. You need to ditch the 'immediate gratification' mindset and take the LONG TERM VIEW. This isn’t just true about money but pretty much anything in life. Think about what Tiger Woods said.
It took him a few years to get his game where he wanted it to be and then 'the changes kicked in' and he started getting MOMENTUM.

Too many people are taking the 'immediate gratification' view and they NEVER get momentum in their life. The way you make a fortune and win at this game called life is by tapping into MOMENTUM. Take baby steps before you start to run, as you set your long term goals make sure you build in stepping stones and truly celebrate as you achieve each of those stepping stones.

Whether you're a fan of golf or not, there's something about Tiger's MINDSET that has helped him unleash his greatness. Understanding what is at the foundation could help you experience the same level of success in different areas of your life.

I am not personally a huge fan of golf but I am a fan of studying successful people to see where they get their success from.
