So, for the second straight year, I have participated in Dry January and while it was easier this time, the benefits seem to have diminished. I still slept longer and better. I spent more time reading and less time watching TV. I did not, however, lose weight like I did last time. I attribute this to two things; I found a Non-Alcoholic beer I actually enjoyed (maybe a little too much) and the cold weather put a damper on my time spent outdoors exercising.
Having said that, like most people I know, it is important for me to set personal goals and accomplish them. I am glad to have checked this box and will certainly consider doing it again. Frankly, I’m an “all or nothing” guy when it comes to quitting anything. While others opted for “Damp January,” I know that’s not how I roll. And, knowing yourself and your motivations are the keys to reaching any goal.
Ironically, I have never liked setting career goals, especially when I am not in control of all the variables. My career goal is always the same. Do the best I can (for my company and my clients) and, ideally, do it better than anybody else. You may say, “Without making a plan, you’re planning to fail” and that is a legitimate concern, but consider this, everywhere I’ve worked for the past 30 years, I have been the top revenue producer. Not only that, my department has almost always hit its goal.
That second part is as important as the first. If I am succeeding and my department is not, that reflects on me as a seasoned sales veteran. The key to any department’s success is threefold: opportunity, leadership, and teamwork. Mentoring junior salespeople and support staff is a huge part of why I enjoy my work. At WDAV Classical Public Radio, that opportunity has not really existed, in part because my sales partner, Jon "JB" Barcelo, is even more experienced than I am and is every bit as successful as I have been.
He may very well be the best sales partner I’ve ever had. We have never once quibbled over an account. We help each other with ideas and leads. If one of us runs into a personal chemistry issue with a prospect, we are glad to work out a swap. And, those swaps have worked out to be mutually beneficial on several occasions. Well, all that is about to change because JB is retiring.
If you have successfully sold media before and understand the Charlotte market, I encourage you to apply. WDAV Classical Public Radio 89.9FM/Davidson College is a terrific place to work. Our leadership is the best I’ve ever worked for and the benefits are extraordinary. You will not get rich. People do not get into public media to make bank. You can, however, earn a comfortable living while maintaining a solid work-life balance. I know I have.
