A Starting Point . . . .

A Starting Point . . . .

“The toughest thing about success is that you’ve got to keep

on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in

this business. You’ve got to keep on working that

talent. Or someday you’ll reach for

and it won’t be there.”

Irving Berlin 1822 -1989, American Composer and Lyricist

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

A starting point . . . .

 

Talent will get you started . . . . Your talent has to be continually developed . . . . nurtured . . . . and expanded for you to achieve lasting success . . . . and to take you over the finish line.

 

When you continually develop . . . . and expand your talents you continually become better at what you do. As you become better your confidence grows along with your self-assurance to take on bigger goals . . . . and to stretch your limits to newer heights.  

 

Talent is success tool that has to be continually sharpened and developed to be there for you when you need it the most.

 

Talent is a starting point for you . . . . It will be what you do with that talent to develop it . . . . nurtured it . . . . and expanded your talent that will determine your level success.

We have to constantly work on our own evolution...depending on the past...not continuing to develop....makes our own progress not only stand still but regress.

Lou, I've seen some very talented people who didn't become successful because they didn't take the time utilize it intelligently.

We have to start somewhere and we will never succeed unless we are willing to at least start an endeavor.
