Changes in vision, changes in attitude

Beach office
Working this hard comes with the territory.

 

The main reason people go out on their own is vision. A vision of the future that is better than now. Much better.

With the pressure that only an entrepreneur knows, also comes the joy.

It’s mostly pressure and uncertainty for many years until you become an entity that scales.

Until then, joy is elusive.

Elusive as it may be, it is also remarkably wonderful.

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.

 

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.

We’ve struck a verbal agreement for the next 120 days

Windermere Runners Club
No written agreement, just a verbal promise to help someone learn about personal responsibility in a balanced way. Toughest workout of the Summer Season.

 

The day began early at the High School track and it was by far the toughest workout this summer. Not many teens, nor adults, begin their day with strenuous physical activity. Not many business owners pay contractors in advance.

We’ve struck a verbal agreement for the next 120 days. A pre-paid monthly salary and then transition to a traditional post-work pay structure.

Paying in advance happens, but it’s rare.

Scarcity usually makes something more valuable.

Deep breath…may i (unofficially) present to you…

Disney Keynote Speaker jeff noel
Look over there…it’s, it’s…it’s a new website..

 

Deep breath…may i (unofficially) present to you…

junglejeff.com

Spoiler alert because you may have never realized, this site you’re reading now is junglejeff.net 

Using GoDaddy’s handy domain name backorder feature (for many years) the previous owner abandoned it in early 2016.

Was quite shocked to purchase it.

Yee-haw!

Having a dot.com is a better piece of digital real estate than any other.

Location, location, location.

Domain extension, domain extension, domain extension.

PS. Today’s (June 9) reveal (rough draft form) is known only to a handful of people. However, by the the time this posts it will be polished up: .simple .corporate .different

Perhaps the biggest test of our self-discipline

Disney speaker tag lines
Post it notes rock.

 

Disney speaker tag lines
When post it notes aren’t available (away from office), i use iPhone Notes app, then copy and paste.

 

Perhaps the biggest test of our self-discipline…

The first draft of the new Disney Speaker website is due June 8 (my 57th birthday), which is five days away.

For the past two weeks, i’ve peeked (it’s live, but no one knows the url) but a couple days ago i made a personal commitment to wait until “Christmas morning” to look under the tree.

Exciting. Childish excitement really.

So tempting to peek.
