I don’t think that a 30-year old Oprah started her talk show knowing exactly what her calling was. She was in an exciting city with a new job and it would have been very easy to get caught up in the TV hype. However, I’m very sure that it struck Oprah very early on, that her calling was to focus on her audience and find ways to educate, inspire, and motivate.

Much in the same way that Oprah believes we are responsible for our own lives, I believe that you are the only person who can be responsible for your own career. Periodically I meet with Copper’s employees, only to be surprised by the goals that they have for advancement within our company. What surprises me most is not what they want to do, but the fact that they kept that information to themselves.
