The whole world wants to know what Susan Boyle's secrets of success are. Here are nine :

Passion
"I'm trying to be a professional singer".g The judges and audience openly sniggered, but this made no difference to Susan Boyle. She was passionate about her vision of where she was headed. Without being passionate about where you want to be five years from now, you will not succeed.

Ability to Accept Risk
Standing vulnerable and alone before thousands, what would you have done when the judges and the audience were openly antagonistic towards against you? Would you have had the strength to take the risk and continue on to sing? Or would your vocal cords have shut down with fear and humiliation, or stage-fright? When asked how she felt right then, Susan replied "You have to go on, don't you"?

High Self-Esteem
Susan has a real understanding of her talents, without being either boastful or egotistical. Susan is a down to earth person, coming from the poorest region of Scotland. People have never given her a chance up until now. Susan however, had no self-doubt - the major destroyer of a thousand dreams."I'm going to rock that audience", she said in a semi-joking voice before setting out on that long lonely walk to center stage.

Persistence
Susan is almost 48 years of age. Do you have the persistence to hold onto a dream for that length of time? Susan’s voice didn’t mature in just a few years.

Discipline
Without self-imposed discipline you will not go anywhere. To reach the dizzy heights you must have the discipline to follow through, no matter what the cost. She did what she had to do, even when she didn't feel like it. Susan had the willpower to impel herself onwards. Self-discipline is never easy, even for the most successful people.

Non-egotistical
No one wants to be near someone, who has a self-inflated has an overdose of their own ego, no matter how successful they are. The judges from 'Britain's Got Talent', have made the decision they won't not give Susan a make-over yet. The frumpy, unemployed, volunteer church worker, could easily be your neighbour. She is however, completely comfortable with herself.

Patience
Rome wasn't built in a day. The old sayings keep going on. Yet they are true. It took Susan almost 48 years to arrive at overnight stardom. She had the patience to keep going, no matter what came up was thrown against her.

Focus
Susan says, "Now I'll get focused, (for the next part of the reality talent show)". Unless you are able to stay focused and not let yourself be side-tracked, you will never see your dreams come a reality.

Talent
And of course Susan has great talent. The ability to do something naturally this is out of the ordinary. You need to recognize where your talents lie.
Susan’s dreams became a reality. So can yours, if you will only Persevere, Have Discipline, be Patient and never never give up.
