    The Little Ones

    "If anyone ever tries to say that to me again, I'll punch them!" It was a bold statement from our owner, Jeff Trumper, as he addressed the managers after one of the worst weeks for our station in quite some time. A week earlier, our biggest station had suddenly gone off-air in the middle of the day and stayed off for five straight days! In the radio business, this is a big deal! Because if you are off-air, you are not airing any content, so listeners have to listen to another station and you cannot air any advertising, which pays the bills. Imagine closing any business for an entire week while someone tries to identify a problem to have it open again. It's an all hands on deck situation.

    Our engineers worked around the clock to find the problem. They were looking at every scenerio that may be involved with this type of major failure, but were coming up with deadends for a couple of days. Finally, after consulting with other engineers and searching every possible angle, they found it. It was a tiny transistor that had caused all the problems. A transistor that was not much larger than a pencil eraser. This tiny but critical piece made all the difference. When Mr. Trumper made the statement, he held up the tiny part and said, "No one can ever tell me the small stuff doesn't count, ever again!"

    Get Tuned In to what you want to achieve or change today. Is there a small part in you that is holding you back from success? You may really want to start working out, quit smoking, take a new job, be more confident or whatever. But there's a small part in you that continues to push an old behavior, or an emotional response to this new goal that makes you feel a certain way or actually stops you from doing the new thing. The part was created at another moment in time to work for you then, but it is no longer needed to move forward today. 

    Just as the engineers had to look at every angle to find a solution for our radio station and get us back on-air. You have to become aware of what part in you has continued to act in a way that isn't productive any longer.  Start by looking at your goals and what outcome you have in mind. You have to be specific. What is the end result you are hoping to achieve now that you can measure in a realistic time frame?  If your goal is just a hope or a wish, like winning a lottery, you will not find the answer. You need a dead-aim on something you can witness in your life.

    Once you know the answer, take some time to look inside yourself to become aware of your behavior, emotions and attitude around this goal. What is your "Inner DJ" saying to you about this idea? Imagine you have already achieved this goal and be alert to how you see it, feel it or hear it - what are you feeling?  The small part that may be holding you back can be found somewhere inside this exploration. 

    Is there a feeling you don't belong, or something saying this isn't right? That's the small part talking and you need to address it.  Now, dissociate yourself from this part and get Tuned In to what it is saying and doing to help you. Just imagine that you are hearing it played over and over on the radio. This will help you really hear it and take an objective approach without being in a moment where it's happening and affecting your emotions and judgement.

    Once you have identified it, now you can take the steps to re-program it so it may start working for you instead of against you. It isn't wrong or bad, it is doing its job that it was programmed to do! You can't simply throw it out because it may get replaced by another negative thought. It did serve a purpose for you, so say thanks and transform it with the new goal to serve you again now. It's strong, even though it's small, so make it useful in a new role by giving it new content.

    The small things really do count and by getting Tuned In to yours, you'll be on your way to cutting through the static of your work, your money and your life. Just don't punch anyone when thay say, "Don't sweat the small stuff." I would recommend just sharing your secret and allow them to get Tuned In too.
