On the cover of The Rolling Stone…

Mid Life Celebration book and author
One final photo yesterday morning before coming down the mountain until next year.

 

Took ten copies to share, although most have already read it.

It was surprisingly comforting to remind myself that the 1979 (when we were college juniors) promise to write a book has been fulfilled.

Yesterday’s Amazon book review

Mid Life Celebration book at Disney University
Photo taken three days ago.

 

Received this Amazon book review yesterday.

This beautifully written, life changing book was the ‘right book at the right time’ for me. Inspirational, poignant and full of wisdom, there were many times that I felt that the Jeff was writing directly to me. I am reprioritizing and recommitting to myself and my life moving forward. This was my wakeup call!

Help like you mean it.

We all have our biased opinions

Disney Leadership Speaker
Donations will come from speaking revenue, not from book revenue.

 

We all have our biased opinions. What is exceptionally intriguing is how and when we take action based on our opinions.

Anyone can form an opinion and secretly think it’s brilliant.

But will it work in the real world?

Wanted to reduce the Kindle price to between one and two dollars – the price of an App. Even contemplated offering it for free. Xulon Press, the Publisher, can go no lower than $4.99. So that’s what we agreed on.

It took one day to change that price.

Have been quietly and secretly working on reducing the Amazon price for the paperback version of Mid Life Celebration. Aimed for seven or eight dollars, knowing Amazon further discounts books – bringing the purchase price near five dollars.

But $10.99 is the lowest Xulon will go. It took weeks to get this answer and then weeks to have it go live.

Live is in six days, on April 4, 2015. See for yourself, here.

Opinions mean nothing without action.

Amazon rejected jeff noel’s review of Lee Cockerell’s latest book

Walt Disney revealing EPCOT

 

Wrote Lee Cockerell’s latest Amazon book review yesterday. Amazon responded saying they couldn’t post it as written. Read the guidelines. Didn’t understand. Sent an appeal, at their invitation.

We’ll see what happens.

Here’s the original:

Lee Cockerell is a Time Management Deity. His inspiring message is clear, concise, and compelling. A brilliant double dose of not only “how”, but “why”. Imagine the time pressures and delivery expectations of being in charge of 40,000 Disney Cast Members for a decade. The best thing you can do after reading Lee’s book(s) is to subscribe to his Podcasts. To have access to Lee in this manner is priceless. It will change your life, like it did mine.
