BARRIERS ARE JUST OPPORTUNITIES IN DISGUISE

Take the case of Roberta Guaspari, the violin teacher who started a music program for the inner city children of Harlem, NY, and upon whose life the movie "Music of the Heart" was based. When the funding was cut for her violin program by the school system, she fought to save it by putting on a recital featuring performances by her best students. Despite initial enthusiasm, the recital was nearly cancelled when the appointed theatre suffered flooding.

Yet at that moment, Carnegie Hall, hearing of her heroic efforts, offered her their space for free and recruited several internationally renowned musicians to appear with the students. The recital was successful enough to keep Guaspari's music program going for another three years. This attracted the movie and now the future of her music program is virtually guaranteed. This all resulted from financial barriers paving the road to success. http://millionairemindsecrets.weebly.com
