Now Worth $400M Dollars, Golf Legend Greg Norman Debunked a Major Myth About Money By Once Revealing His Biggest Motivation for Business

Great businessmen often make more than people dream of making in their lifetimes. So, what is their secret? Is it because they’re focusing on making more and more money? or something else entirely? Greg Norman, the ex-pro golfer, is one of the successful athletes who’ve turned to business. Many fans and even other businessmen wonder about his secret to success and what inspires him. And he once revealed what his main motivator was. And it was something quite unexpected.

Norman followed his 91 professional wins in golf with an even more successful business venture. But his mindset is quite different from the rest of the business world, and perhaps that’s the reason he stands apart from them.

Greg Norman discusses his business inspiration

In 2015, “the shark” sat down with Today’s Golfer for an interview. Among the many topics he discussed was his successful business. The two-time major winner’s company had made over $300 million in revenue that year. The public and media were intrigued by his business’ remarkable progress, and they asked him if money was a huge motivator for him.

The humble Australian golfer replied, “No. Never has been.” He then went on to talk about his inspiration when it came to business. The shark stated, “It’s more to do with the opportunities and the jobs you are giving to people.” Norman believed that success was also defined by how much you did for others, not just yourself. He believes in providing an opportunity for others.

He also believed that success didn’t lead to happiness and that it was, in fact, the other way around. “Happiness creates success,” said Greg. He went on to add that he knew tons of people who were very wealthy and very successful but were also “totally miserable.” On the other hand, he knew many people who had no money but were the happiest people in the world.

What is Norman’s take on happiness?

The businessman stated that he firmly believed that happiness came from within and not from material things. “You’re the only one who can create that happiness,” he claimed. The shark believed that once you were able to create happiness for yourself, success would automatically follow.

Norman now has a net worth of $400 million. And his business is still growing remarkably. He is now also the CEO of the Saudi-backed golf league, LIV Golf. Has he achieved all this by standing by his take on happiness? And does he still abide by these same values?
