Career dissatisfaction stems from neglect

Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel
Disney Customer Service Guru? Or simply an ordinary fella? Ordinary fellow who craves failure.

Career dissatisfaction stems from neglect.

Career satisfaction stems from action.

Act.

Do something.

Use iteration to continuously improve.

Crave failure.

Make being uncomfortable your comfort zone.

Strive to become the artist you were born to be.

Rethink. Reprioritize. Recommit.

You are amazing

Sharing this place with others is a different kind of beautiful.

You are amazing.

You play the long game.

You invest in slow and steady wins the race.

You have created clear priorities that guide your decisions.

Your decisions guide your awesome habits.

Your intentional habits guide your life.

Your life offers you a harvest.

May your harvest spill over to feed others as well.

Now what?

Apple gives you 14 days to pickup at the store. Note the additional information about Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend (11.29-12.02). Managing expectations for what is predicable.

Now what?

Saw it coming but hoped i was wrong.

So then, now what?

Price goes up.

Is that fair?

Technically, yes.

Will you hold your ground or be flexible?

Herein lies the challenge.

Expectations are formed by our actions, not by what we say.

If i say there’s a deadline but don’t enforce it, then there really wasn’t a deadline.

This lack of honoring one expectation contaminates all expectations.

What shouldn’t be a tough call might be, meaning the tough call to raise the price to the December 25th deadline price.

Why?

Anyone paying a premium expects flexibility. As in, “cut me a break, man”.

And then there’s the notion that all of this was an exercise in negotiating a bigger picture – contract(s) signed by year end, which is four weeks away.

Great Customer Service is driven by your architecture

Disney Speaker jeff noel question
Great customer service question.

Great Customer Service is driven by your architecture.

Your architecture is driven by systems and processes that you control.

What you control is driven by your never-ending, intentional, tireless, creative, and continuously focused efforts – efforts that the Customer only sees the tip of your architectural iceberg.

All the hard work to migrate my websites to a new hosting account is being done manually, expensively and with decent risk for intellectual property loss.

There isn’t any other option.

The customer has no idea.

And so it goes.
