The Anita Baker story is indeed a formula for winning for all who, despite their passion for success in their fields, have been confronted with rejection. Her success proved that people may not believe in your potential; but if you can take the risk of believing in yourself and find just one or two more people who do, the globe will soon be your stage.

In 1979 Anita Baker was dropped because the recording company managing the group she belonged to thought she didn’t have star potential.
She believed it.
So she went back to Detroit to serving tables as a waiter and working as a receptionist.

She did this for 3 years!
80
81
82
……before she was encouraged to comeback by somebody who saw something else.

She went on to win:
8 Grammy Awards!
Nominated 10 times!
4 American music Awards!
Nominated 5 times!
7 soul Train Awards
Nominated 5 times!
Even the BET Awards that was established in 2001 to celebrate African Americans gave her an award.

At a point her album sales was over 8million copies worldwide.
…..But remember for three years she served tables and worked as a receptionist because somebody told her she didn’t have potentials.
Be careful who you listen to.

You will succeed as long as you believe in yourself and do your part to ensure success.
