His success on the circuit has translated to success off the green. Norman heads Great White Shark Enterprises, a multinational corporation whose umbrella covers a number of diverse companies, including a clothing line, golf course design and production, a yacht line, a winery, residential development, and the firm that provided the turf for the Olympic stadium in Sydney. As an active athlete, a business owner, and a father, scheduling has been my biggest challenge.

However, there are certain elements of the business that require my direct involvement.
Successful people like to help people become successful.
In other words, if you want to be successful, you can t be afraid to ask for advice. First, before I put my name on anything, or before we enter into a new business venture, we complete our due diligence and research every possible scenario. Second, we stay involved with every business. I m a hands-on person, and the managers in our companies are very good at keeping me informed. Rarely are we surprised by anything.
