Never Underestimate Yourself ... Or Anyone Else

Chris Brogan shared the video below of Paul Potts, winner of Britain's Got Talent (sort of their version of American Idol, complete with Simon Cowell as a judge).  Chris asks: "who are you underestimating?"

That's a great question and this video demonstrates that people are capable of surprising other people -- and even themselves.  It's worth a few minutes of your time to watch this video of a cell phone salesman who decides to roll the dice for his dream.  If you are or have ever thought about becoming an entrepreneur, Paul Potts should be someone you should think about.

The before and after shots of the judges' faces are especially priceless.
