Hey, here’s a one-take-You Tube video from me again (howdy), jeff noel, the five-a-day blogger.
Are you starting to see how this might work for you? I mean, I’m just a common guy, working really hard at this social media phenomenon.
A few months back, I saw a You Tube video featuring Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, answering questions as part of some panel.
What Bob Iger said, paraphrased from memory, was this, “Disney isn’t embracing social media. Disney is embracing the customer. The customer is embracing social media.”
Would your customers describe you or your business as hard working? You know, staying current and relevant with their needs and desires?
We would hope our answer is a resounding yes. Why? Because, our competition may be invisible at this point in history.
You see, there are others out there who can see something that our customers need and want, but our customers haven’t identified it yet. And neither have we.
Those other people who can see it? They’re changing the world.
My Family and I visited Magic Kingdom a week ago. Then Wednesday we visited Epcot. And this past Saturday, back at Magic Kingdom. Then a LinkedIn Group discussion shared this cool Disney Parks You Tube video:
The cooler weather is bringing out us locals to seek what Disney Guests from all over the World seek. The Disney Magic and the Disney Fantasy – and an escape from a tough reality.
PS. There a bit of a screen size overlap. Oh well. Life goes on. Carpe diem. :)
Go Daddy is awesome. The past two days I’ve reconnected with Go Daddy, and remember why I love them so much.
They offer world class customer service. Consistently. Great product. Great price. Great selection. Great service.
That’s all a person can ask for, isn’t it? That a company would live up to their promise every day, with every interaction.
Impossible? Probably. But Go Daddy seems to have a much higher “success rate” than most companies I’ve worked with over 50 years.
Anyway, WordPress updates are done. Web analytics are clearer. Web statistics are way up. Double and triple in many areas. The reason? Because of people like you, reading this now.

Are you still trying to figure out Twitter, Tweets, Retweets, FollowFriday, # hashtags, @ and other Twitter stuff? Me too. It’s not that it’s difficult. It simply a matter of finding time to read, try, read some more and retry.
Good luck with Twitter, Facebook, You Tube, Skype, flickr, LinkedIn, or whatever else you use to stay connected and grow.
That’s really what life is about isn’t it – growing. If you’re not growing, then the blinding flash of the obvious is, you are ……
All of these things or people have pushed the limits of acceptable boundaries. But it’s Social Media that intrigues me the most. Why?
Because of it’s power to change things
Because of it’s ease of use
Because of it’s reach
Because it’s use is growing exponentially
Except in the corporate landscape. People who lead big corporations are usually older, and stereotypically, unaware (and maybe intimidated) of emerging social media trends and possibilities.
Where do you fall in this mix? And, more importantly, what do you plan to do?
Happy Birthday Walt Disney World. Disney World opened to the public on October 1, 1971, nearly five years after Walt Disney died from cardiac arrest (brought on from the removal of his cancerous left lung on November 7, 1966).
Walt’s older brother Roy O. Disney, at 73 years old, and enjoying retirement, had a big decision after Walt died on December 15, 1966.
Sell or develop.
Disney had purchased 27,443 acres, or 43 square miles, of alligator, snake and mosquito infested swampland during the mid-1960′s. It is said the purchase price averaged less than $200 an acre.
Bought it cheap, sell it cheap. Or, build? And build Roy did.
Thank you to Walt Disney, Roy O. Disney, and the entire Disney organization for making Walt Disney’s biggest dream come to life.
My Family has enjoyed hundreds of visits to Walt Disney World. Our home is located just a few miles from Cinderella Castle. Every night we see and hear the Magic Kingdom fireworks.
It’s been a dream come true to live so close to the most Magical place on Planet Earth.
Last weekend, my son (9) and I were relaxing in our pool at sunset. I asked him, “You know why I’m working so hard on the business, right”?
“In case you lose your job”?, he said, questioning.
“Well sort of, but not really because of that. I would like to have more control over the impact one can make on our world. Being a business owner doesn’t guarantee that, but it sure does increase the odds”.
Reminded him of the power of hard work and how it’s harder at the beginning, in virtually everything, because there’s so much to learn.
Funny thing, for a nine-year old, he gets it. And it’s easy to see why.
When his Dad became a parent, he worked really hard at the beginning, because there was so much to learn.
PS. What I didn’t tell him is the “business” is my attempt to help raise enough money to find a cure for his disease.
