By now, if you haven’t seen the Susan Boyle, Britian’s Got Talent video… you clearly have lost any kind of internet, television and radio connection!
I actually felt bad for this woman. She had all the weight of the world stacked up against her, as audience members jeered, judges rolled their eyes and sarcastically asked what kind of talent did she have, and the viewing audience couldn’t help but just assume that based on her looks, she had no talent.
Well, she sure enough proved us all wrong! Her voice was amazing and the response was even more enlightening. Today, in a rough economy when all many have left is a dream… Susan Boyle fulfilled hers. She sang her heart out and helped everyone across the world to stay focus and reach for theirs.
If this story tells you anything, it’s that in our global society and throughout various cultures, perception is everything. And if you aren’t running within a certain periphery of that perception, you will be ignored.
Take the Susan Boyle story and apply it to your business. Have you been strumming along your business life, hoping for a chance? Or have you made steps to move forward, make a statement and crafted a presence to catapult you, your products or services to your target audience.
For businesses, we don’t have the “Britian’s / America’s Got Talent” forum. We have to create our own strategies and solutions. Not sure where to start? Give us a call or visit our site at www.beholderproductions.com.
We can help you with your vision and make it come to life.

Susan is fabulous. It’s about time the entertainment industry started promoting REAL talent. People are looking for a change. They want something different. Their souls are crying out for the extraordinary not the ordinary. To make it in the entertainment industry today you must meet a certain image and financial criteria, talent is no longer a prerequisite. Today, you not only need money to pay your way in, you also must look a certain way, act a certain way, be a certain age and weight and imitate the actor and singers that make up the fad of the times. In
essence, you must lose your entire identity and allow yourself to portray something that isn’t unique. Few entertainers today are individuals.
What is filmed, written and recorded now will reflect our past, but
what our children learn from it, will represent our future. Using the media as our message tool we, as a race of people, have the ability to make a difference for all the young and impressionable minds. For more Entertainers like Susan Boyle, Check out these links; http://www.youtube.com/singingsibs
