Success

Success happens when preperation meets opportunity.

Be ready..prepare, practice, organize.

Successful people earn it, especially those that sustain success.

Take my good friend Mat Franco, actually he is my son's best friend but I certainly grew close to him.
Mat just won America's got talent! He won a million dollars and is headlining a show in Vegas.
And he is 26!

Some people may think he is lucky but Mat was always dedicated to his craft.
Mat is a magician.
He has been practicing his art since he was six years old.

He went to college with my son and was very active and very well liked but he never loss site of what he wanted.
When other kids were doing video games for hours on end he was practicing magic.

Mat is so well dedicated that he taught himself to lay the guitar.
He thought it would be cool to play Sultans of Swing by Dire Straights.
If anyone knows that song you know that it is a very hard piece of guitar work to learn.
But he did it.
He just made up his mind, shut his door and listened to the song thousands of time and taught himself how to play it.
Amazing....that is dedication.

So when Mat entered to try America's got talent at age 26 he was ready.

Opportunity had arrived and he was ready.

Will you be ready?
