What do Paul Potts and Carly Taylor have in common?

Both are from the U.K.

Both are extremely talented.

Both of them went after their dream.

They took their passion - and made things happen.

Paul won the ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ contest - and almost instantly started work on his first recording contract… with a CD due out very shortly.

His performance, which you can view on YouTube, raised goosebumps as I listened in awe to his rich voice ring out in perfect harmony.

Carly is a contestant in the ‘Next Internet Millionaire‘ reality TV contest, a brainchild of Joel Comm.

A glint of steely determination in her eye during her audition video - and a post on the Warrior forum - made me believe she could be the winner.

We got to exchanging a few thoughts about her presentation video, and she used some of those ideas in her winning submission.

You can view her 2 audition videos and her ‘acceptance’ speech on being chosen as one of the 12 FINALISTS - on the “Carly Taylor - Next Internet Millionaire” Squidoo lens.

Oh yes, that’s a lens I set up nearly 1 month back to rally support behind Carly’s efforts… because I believe in getting behind PASSION.

The lesson from both success stories is simple and sweet.
