So?

So what?

What a great question.  Simple.  But great.

Few things frustrate me these days.  In less than three weeks, I’ll turn 50.  Can’t wait.  What a milestone.

There are so many frustrating things out there.

It’s pretty common that people complain about aging.

But I want to know, “Why?”

Rather than complain, roll over and let it happen, there is an alternative, I believe.

So what?

Exactly.  I figure it’s an easy choice – be a statistic.

Become one of the majority that complains, or become one of the minority that just gets on with staying healthy.

Same with the economy.

Complain about it, or get on with the business of preparing for the upturn.

Historical adversity and embracing change.  Everyone you lead is taking their cue from you.

Here’s what they’re observing:

  1. What you say.
  2. What you don’t say.
  3. Your behaviors.
  4. Your attitude.
  5. Your focus.

Adversity doesn’t develop character, it reveals it.

Make it a great day to take look in the mirror and think about those five areas.  When you get back to work, be a champion.  Your people are expecting this from you now, more than ever.

Hard?

Why is it so hard to get great results?

You know what I think?

I think most people don’t know what the goal is.

You buy that?

Doesn’t matter.

What?

It doesn’t matter what I think.  What matters is what you think.

Want to test your leadership influence?

Ask the people who know you to describe what they think your vision is.

Adversity doesn’t develop character, it reveals it.

What does this have to do with business, money and jeff noel?

What does it have to do with you?

Everything, I believe.

I’m studying Social Media, Social Networking and Social Marketing.  I read and watch everything I can, to understand it.  I also experiment with social media strategies and social media tactics to see which are the most effective and why.

Turbulent times or great economic times, it doesn’t matter. Everyday is a great day to be working hard to produce excellent results.  Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

My Vision for Disney Institute?

My personal vision for Disney Institute, what makes me work desperately hard to get the word out about this wonderful organization?

I’d like to help make Disney Institute a global household name!

Ask almost anyone, anywhere in the world, “Ever heard of Disney Institute”?

There are two typical responses:

  1. “What’s that”?
  2. “Oh yes, that’s the place where you can learn how to cook”?

In trying to run the business as if were mine, I’m seriously challenged to live with those answers.

Yet, if you spoke to the people who’ve attended a Disney Institute program, you’d get something like this:

  • “That was amazing.  We need to figure out how to get this integrated into our organization”!
  • “Disney’s business strategies and tactics could work for anyone”!

So, I know my purpose: To help them grow exponentially.

In doing so, they reach more people.  They reach more people, they help make a greater impact.  The greater the impact, the more the word spreads.  The more the word spreads, the closer they get to a household name.

Now, if I could just figure out how to say it and share it so others can see it.

Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
