When I met Mike Sammond at the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce more than two years ago, I had no idea that he had achieved so much in journalism. Partial list:

Journalism degree, University of Georgia
Sports TV reporter, Columbus, Georgia
CBS Radio
Olympic Broadcasting Service
CNN Headline News

Nor could I have guessed what he was going to achieve during a highly energetic and productive next few months. Mike became the talk show host and producer of Business RadioX. Here’s what that’s all about:

Business RadioX has quickly become the fastest growing B2B online radio network in the nation. With a “pro-business” format, Business RadioX provides local businesses the opportunity to share their work with thousands of potential customers, investors and decision-makers.

Most graciously and expertly, Mike has welcomed me as a guest on his show several times, and has referred me to hosts of other local Business RadioX shows he produces. So I have enjoyed a close up view of Mike and his colleagues in this rapidly growing media service.

THANKING OWNERS, SPONSORS, HOSTS AND GUESTS
Last night Mike hosted his Business RadioX team for dinner and a brief awards program. During his presentation (pictured above), he told us about upcoming expansions of the service. Clearly, Mike has been a vital part of this unique radio network’s launching and development.

Ignore the Noise, Focus on The Gift

????????????????????????????????????

A few days ago I met David Snyder when he attended “Gwinnettworking,” sponsored by the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, headquartered in Duluth, GA. As we became better acquainted a few days later at lunch, I recognized that he has enjoyed a stellar career.

–Group Sales Manager for Johnson & Johnson
–Vice President for National Accounts, Coca-Cola
–Vice President of Operations, Coca-Cola, Tokyo

Now he provides financial advice for a top-tier client list at Morgan Stanley, operating from Atlanta.

During our conversations, I discovered what I consider the real key to his professional success.

Not his education
Not his networking skills
Not his ability to communicate his ideas
Not his ease in meeting strangers

. . . although with him all of those assets are strong.

Instead, from my viewpoint David’s key to success, both in business and in life, is his outlook on life. In an era when pessimism, gloom, defeatism, fear, resentment, jealousy, and mistrust abound, David said this during our casual lunch chit chat:

“We get two things in life. First, we get a Gift. The Gift comes to us when we wake up, and have another day packed with possibilities.”

What’s the other thing we get? “Noise. Noise is all the things that happen to us, everything that can go wrong during a day.”

So, David went on to explain, “We can choose to let the Noise overwhelm us. But that’s not my choice at all. I focus on the Gift.”

What a powerful way to stay motivated! With David’s permission, I am  sharing his daily approach with you.

You and I face the identical choice day after day.

Let’s ignore the Noise.

Let’s accept the Gift and maximize its opportunities.
