a 15-year career in Resort Operations was left behind to follow a new, uncertain path

 

Perhaps the biggest administrative part of leadership are these two duties:

  1. making decisions
  2. trusting the decisions others make

It’s really simple

simplicity
simple doesn’t mean easy, it only means not complex

 

It’s really simple. Be determined to reach your loftiest, most noble goals. Be humble in your journey and with your inevitable successes (and failures). Keep things as simple as possible.

Everybody loves a happy ending. 🙂

jeff noel's first book
15 months later….

We live our lives with many unfulfilled dreams. Big dreams can scare people. Or intimidate them. Big dreams also provide food for jokes, teasing, and back-stabbing.

So we hide them. We minimize them. We sell ourselves short.
