As Texans my wife and I were very surprised to learn that the
featured entertainer on the Ocean
Princess last night was from Marble Falls, Texas! His story is an
inspiration to all who are seeking a successful career.
After completing his degree at The University of Texas at San
Antonio earning a major in music with classical training, Preston began to work
as a choir director. He longed for an
occupation he loved, and unfortunately broke-up with his girl friend. As a diversion he and some fellow teachers
and a school principal formed a band and began weekend gigs on 6th
Street in Austin. Later he enrolled in
real estate training and became a realtor just as the real estate market headed
south.
Recognizing that he was unhappy with his life, his former girlfriend
encouraged him to burn a CD. She later became
his manager and introduced him to one of the leading cruise ship booking agents.
The happy ending is that Preston has been a very successful cruise ship
performer for over four years and his former girl is now his agent, business
manager, and wife!
So what is Preston’s message for individuals who are restless and
unhappy with their work? I think that it
is to make the most of your talents and take the steps that lead to a satisfying
and productive life.
What is your passion? What actions should you take to achieve it?
Thanks!
Glyn
