TAKE YOUR MARK

Take Your Mark tells all on their sports minded business philosophies. If you have been in any type of race, competitively or for fun, ‘take your mark’ is the cue to get yourself ready to start. The same applies in swimming. And for President Colin McNamara this brings him back to his competitive swimming days. When the official stated those three words, it meant game time. “I felt that by naming my company this it would be a constant reminder, for myself and the team, that now it's tim... e to put all of your training and practice to work,” explains McNamara. Take Your Mark believes that there are a lot of similarities in the fundamental principles in business as there are in sports. This is why many employees are former athletes or sports enthusiasts, because they can relate to the mindset and culture of the organization. Not sure what that means? Keep Reading. 1. Team Work: It doesn’t matter if one person has a standout game or even breaking records. If the team loses – no one can truly reap the success as much as if they had won together. Another example- it’s not just about being the best person on the team, if your team is the worst in the league, it doesn’t mean too much. Similarly, at Take Your Mark, everyone is working together to improve each other and themselves so they can accomplish greater things. 2. Sharing a Common Vision: What would happen if a sports coach had the belief, vision and goal to win a championship but the rest of the team didn’t? Would it happen? Never. At Take Your Mark, management makes it very clear what the corporate vision is to ensure that employees share that vision. When you work with like-minded individuals who share a common goal, magic happens and championships are won. 3. Failure is Not Final and neither is Success: You lose a game. Is the season over? You win a game. Does it matter at the next one? You had a bad season, lost the championship. What about next year? In business, there are going to be good times and bad. Take Your Mark focuses on how you bounce back from your failures and what you learned to improve for the next time. They also know that just because you’re doing well does not mean that they can relax, you must keep working, because there is always someone out there who is working just as hard to beat you! There are many other things that you can relate Take Your Mark’s business philosophies to core beliefs in the sports world, but those are our top three.
