His goal was to sing in front of the Queen. What he also got along the way was 1M Pound Stirling and apparently a recording deal. The added extras that come with focusing on your goal can be surprising sometimes. The thing that Paul said that has been a wonderful outcome of this process was the confidence he had gained in himself. What can beat that for a prize?</p> You probably won’t be surprised to hear that Paul Potts actually won the competition. His goal was to sing in front of the Queen.

I have goosepumps on my goosebumps... Thanks for sharing these, they are a huge dose of inspiration and 'being yourself' encouragement. We may not all be able to sing like Paul Potts, but we can take heart that each of us has a special gift that we can bring to world if we dare. Amazing stuff Leah.

Thanks Leah. Just this week my beautiful sister said, "I jut want to BE somebody"... and I told her she already was - her beautiful self. And now this - Paul Potts BEING Paul Potts ... and what a breathtaking example to us all - when we literally and metaphorically "find our voice" we are incredible, awesome and inspiring. WOW!

Instead try and be whats best for you – and learn from everybody. Equally, policy makers should avoid a “one-size-fits-all” approach. I have found the Peter Kilby comparison between the Heffalump and the entrepreneurs as good a way as any to appreciate the diffwerences here.
