My favorite vantage point in all of Walt Disney World

Disney Observation Deck — Gave John the email from York Chamber of Commerce.

Disney's Magic Kingdom from Contemporary Resort — About 730am yesterday.

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort from Contemporary Resort — Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa from Contemporary Resort.

Epcot from Disney's Contemporary Resort — Looking South from observation deck.

John Faurote and Jeff Noel at California Grill — John seemed pleasantly surprised by our early morning excursion to the “Top of The World”.

My favorite vantage point in all of Walt Disney World is on top of Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

This is saying something because i’ve had the privilege of being in some amazing Disney Vantage points, including the highest room in Cinderella Castle.

So it was very intentional to take John there to have him experience our first official commitment to engage in a one-day “Jeff Noel Community Program”.

Hoping he never forgets reading those words on that email, and never forgets believing all his hard work and trust in a positive outcome will pay off.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Why would anyone gladly pay a premium

Why would anyone gladly pay a premium when there are other providers offering a “same category” product or service at a significantly lower price?

Prevailing wisdom suggests more often than not, we get what we pay for.

Go to an Apple Store (or Apple.com) and try to negotiate a lower price for any Apple product. Not gonna happen.

i could go on a long riff about this but won’t (because i actually did riff-on but deleted it shortly after it posted).

If we let it, our job is a great place to hide

If we let it, our job is a great place to hide.

Meetings, lists, projects.

Managerial stuff.

Makes us too busy for our art.

The work that matters. The work we leave undone.

(pause and think about that, then read on)

Hire someone great at managing things needing managed.

Become reacquainted with your highest form of contribution.

That’s your art.

Transform yourself into the artist you were born to be.

Better late than never.

The hurdle is this: completing the first step, which is recognizing in yourself what you were made to be.

Reputation

One of two “water bridges” at Walt Disney World. Photo 6:30am Sept 19 (yesterday).

Post written 3 months ago. Photo yesterday morning, Sept 19, 2016. The only way to keep my shirt from becoming soaked (and heavy) is to carrying it.

Driving by the paint looks fine. Jogging by, it could use a touch up.

Brand reputation is the first thing your customers and employees think of when they see you or hear your name. Your brand is your most important asset. And it should not surprise you that your organization (and personal) culture gives birth to what your people (and you) think and do, without thinking – your employee’s (and your) cumulative behaviors become your brand.

(Emotions trump everything.)

Love the outcome?

jeff noel post it note to self — It adds up when you .think .differently every day, all day.

Love the outcome?

Too often, we think our finished product is the measure of our worth.

Well, it is, truth be told.

But..

But we know there’s something more to it yet it eludes us. Right?

Here it is…

The finished product is one part tangible thing we created, and one part who we’ve become in the process.

The insidious transformation from never quitting, over time, becomes a remarkable piece of (God’s) art.

We (our transformations) actually become the tangible product.
