The most talked about "thing" on Twitter today is about a woman named Susan Boyle. I never heard of her before, but you can bet your bippy if it's being discussed on Twitter and made the "Twitter Trends" it means thousands of people are discussing it at the same time.

It's worth your time to figure out what it's all about. If you do not, you're missing out on valuable market trends and communication.

I followed a Twitter link over to a YouTube video and I saw Simon Cowl's face. Oh, bother...what's this all about? It's about a 47 year old Scottish woman in who has dreamed all her life of being a professional singer.

Susan does not have "the look" of a singer. She has the look of a well-fed housewife. You could see the disdain on Simon's face, and in the face of the audience.

This pleasant woman was undaunted! She stepped on stage and the music started, then she belted out the most beautiful song you could ever imagine. (You could see Simon's facial expression change immediately with her first notes. The audience and judges gave her a standing ovation!

What's the moral of this story? Never give up on your dreams.

~ Take chances and mean it.
~ Surprise others when you have the opportunity to let your true (& sometimes hidden ) talents shine!
~ Do not be afraid to take the stage, in business and in life.
~ Use social media to keep abreast about what the world is discussing - so YOU will stay in the know.
~ Above all else, take the time to let others inspire you...

The link to her 3 minutes of fame is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-KiGva9dV4. Apparently, this is going to be a really big deal so the video does not have an embed code. You can bet we are going to hear a lot more from Susan Boyle, the 47 year old singer just launching her career.

What do you have in store for the future? Remember, it is never too late to start!
