Got Social Media?

Friday, August 27th, 2010

You Tube turned five earlier this Summer.

Who could have predicted it’s rise?

Same thing here.

Ordinary people hitting the big time.

Got social media?

Ditch your resume and build your social media presence. That’s my mantra.

It will eventually free up more time to spend on the day-to-day stuff.

No Nothing. Have A Nice Day.

No Nothing. Have A Nice Day.

We don’t need outdated rules.

We don’t need new rules.

We need courage.

Courage.

Rules are guidelines anyway.

Courage is like yeast. A little goes a long way.

Tomorrow Is A Brand New Day

Tomorrow Is A Brand New Day

Master’s Degree in Business Administration, or MBA.

A highly coveted degree.

A resume builder.

A few years of intense study, expense and sacrifice.

I know it well, and have just passed the half-way mark.

Soon, I’ll share a few highlights from the midterm report card.

What’s the best thing that ever happened to you because of your MBA degree?

Does Work Feel Like Work?

Does your work feel like work?

Or do you hate to leave at the end of the day?

Sometimes I wish establishing a start-up business felt a little more like work.

Five Blogs All Interrelated

Four Other Blogs, All Interrelated

If you don’t visit jeffnoel.com, you might want to consider it. The past few days there have been particularly focused on career, which really belong here at jungle jeff.

In case you’ve ever wondered, of the five daily blogs I write, Mid Life Celebration is the most popular with jungle jeff and jeffnoel.com trading places for second.

Lane 8 and jeffnoel.org are the two, understandably, that follow the top three. Physical responsibility and spiritual responsibility seem to get the least focus in real life too.

Happy Birthday Disneyland

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Walt Disney’s Disneyland turned 55 yesterday.

This significant day in American history came and went, relatively unnoticed.

Just like many important dates.

As a leader, you can not allow this to happen, if you want to have a great company culture.

For people who want the motivation and courage, to dust off their childhood dreams, Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture, provided a beacon and hope for millions the world over.

But then he died.

Who will recall him now? How will we recall him? Why will we recall him?

I will. Using blogs. Because he still  inspires people, to this very day. But each year, more people forget the significance of his simple message.

Who couldn’t use some inspiration?

Think the people at the Walt Disney Company forgot about Disneyland’s 55th Anniversary yetserday?

Not a chance.

Why?

Same reasons as Randy Pausch, who’s (death) anniversary is one week away.

If someone asked you, “What do you do?”, what would you say?
