Had a fun session on the road this week talking to some young announcers about a variety of different radio things. As a springboard, I was using some very cool thoughts that were shared at our recent annual sales meeting.

As our conversation evolved it struck me that much of what we spoke about was not just about being successful in radio. It was about being successful in everything.

• THE POWER OF ONE. Take responsibility for the things you do and say, and understand that you do make a difference. Each one of us is very powerful. Your impact may be good or bad, but understand there will be impact.
• A GAME OF INCHES. Little things matter more then we can possibly imagine. Every big win is a series of hundreds of smaller accomplishments. Small brush strokes paint the big picture.
• ADDERS AND SUBTRACTERS. Each of us is one or the other. We decide every day which side we fall on. We either add value to the people around us, or we take it away. There is no such thing as neutral.

One last thing. Have a great Thanksgiving. I truly hope you cherish the things in your life that matter. Remember, they are gifts that are meant to be appreciated. Take care!!
