It’s NOT who you know….

It’s WHO knows YOU!

I recently watched Michael Jackson’s This Is It DVD.  As a dance enthusiast I loved it…but I was also completely blown away with Orianthi, a 24 year old guitarist (and now chart topping artist!) from Adelaide who was simply amazing.  How did she get THAT gig, you ask ??

1.  She showed a passion for music from an early age
2. She was excellent at her craft (largely self taught immersion in guitar)
3.  After lots of small gigs, she took up a visible gig – backing a singer at the Grammys, which led to invitations from artists such as Prince and the late MJ himself.

A great reminder that small things can lead to bigger and better things…  What one thing can you set in motion this week?
