This is for the leaders who were too busy to notice

Photo from yesterday. Post from 100 days ago…

This is for the leaders (including me) who were too busy to notice.

Knowing that my self-imposed deadline for death living is exactly three years from June 8, i will have to balance patience with a termination point.

No easy task.

Living with a deadline creates a profoundly deep sense of self-reflection.

This illuminates the perceived need for cathartic behaviors. Otherwise we are faced with the reality of living dying with regret.

There is no manual for the exact way to proceed.

(And because there is no guide, this is why society, in general, waits and does nothing with their big, bold, humble dreams.)

So i may say and do some things that with more time, might not feel necessary (like this post). But i don’t have the luxury of waiting to find out.

Always stay humble and kind when depositing a check like that

 

Friday afternoon after the mail came, the check i had been expected finally arrived. So yesterday, a Saturday, our bank happened to be open and i made a special trip to deposit the check. It was a big one.

i kept telling myself, “Always stay humble (and kind).”

The beautiful truth is, it’s not

Disney Creating Magic Keynote Speech
Just getting started. Last week’s keynote speech in Memphis.

 

Receiving payment for a world-class Disney Keynote speech remains surreal, even after a year of receiving the first one.

If you would have told me 10 years ago that this would be my reality, i would have thought you were a lunatic.

Even in incredible success, it’s a little known fact entrepreneurs struggle with the huge leap they’ve made.

Leaping seems like it’s only possible for special people.

The beautiful truth is, it’s not.

Dennis Snow is a go-to Disney Keynote Speaker

DisneyWorld 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Dennis was Captain Nemo in his first Disney role in 1978.

 

Popular Disney Keynote Speakers
Dennis did a wonderful speech sharing three Disney Customer Service insights.

 

Dennis said he delivered 95 speeches last year. Assuming a minimum of two weeks vacation, that’s two speeches every week.

A significant amount of travel is required to accomplish this level of success.

i do not want to achieve the type of success that requires that much travel.

Sure, the money adds up, but at what cost?

Obviously for the right person, to have a job you love that allows for paid travel, that could be a dream come true.

Do you enjoy being pressured by others?

Balance Keynote speaker jeff noel
This blog is about our contribution to society (work).

 

Let us assume a fair amount of time (two weeks or more) has passed…

i hate pressing people for an answer.

i also dislike waiting.

But i’ll wait because patience is a virtue.

And disorganized people – overwhelmed by their demanding schedules and skewed priorities – can take forever to get back to you with a simple yes or no answer.

No means move on.

Yes means it’s time to roll up our sleeves.

There’s a huge difference.

But in the silence of not hearing anything, you live in an unproductive world.
