Time is money

Disney plastic character toys
Traveling with Disney figurines is a habit.

You’re too busy to see your clock ticking by…yet i see it clear as day…

A year from now you’ll wish you had started today…

Cheryl and i have known each other 41 years, including 37 married years. Every team works hard to be effective and efficient – the simplest, truest bottomline in business.

  1. Is it effective?
  2. Is it efficient?

This is what we everyone wants.

Now…

Time is money.

Money spent can save time (money).

  • How’s your decision fatigue?
  • Why do you not stop working out?
  • What’s the point of investing money?
  • What do you gain by not committing?
  • What if every employee leveled up (and kept leveling up)?
  • What’s your template for scaling future businesses?

Hated to leave

Empty grocery store shelves at Publix, the store one mile from home.

Empty grocery store shelves at Winn Dixie on the way home from Apple Store. Just needed butter.
Easter candy
Plenty of marshmallow Peeps though.

Hated to leave.

Used to respond with the above statement when asked, “How was your day at work?”

Look at our world now with Covid-19.

Hating to leave work now takes on a whole new meaning.

Perhaps it will create a new generation of, “Hated to go back.”

Or, “I love working from home.”

PS. Missed having Magic Kingdom fireworks last night. First time in three decades. Eerie.

Addicted to excellence

Disney Speaker jeff noel
Marketing, when you do it yourself, is awkward because humility and marketing are generally opposites.

An exceptional speaker has a sacred responsibility to reach others. To light their fire.

And show them how to why it’s compelling to keep it lit.

You do not have to be an exceptional speaker. But if you desire to be, you’ll need an exceptional mindset to achieve it.

i get high on teaching

coaching call notes on napkin
Three ways we improve: by accident, from a sub-goal to a larger goal, and by making daily improvement a non-negotiable in the form of a “game”.

i get high on teaching.

A text sent yesterday after a 40-minute coaching call…

the gloomy cold rainy day had me think about what people might do if they had the day off…rather than drink or get high, i’d love to be absorbed in teaching (and teaching teaches me – to teach is to learn twice)

Secret hack to improve your work

Screen capture from a participants (at this conference) social media feed.

The secret hack to improving your work?

The way to get better is to get better at getting better.

Never considered myself a storyteller. In fact i considered myself the opposite, a poor storyteller. Poor storytellers are best when they are silent.

One day, with Leslie Bays-Baker in a private, nine-executive multi-day engagement, i told the closing story and tied the story’s point to the thesis statement for the class’s entire four days.

After the group graduated and left the classroom on day four, Leslie shared, “I loved your personal story and how you connected it back to the content and the audience.”

Leslie’s feedback changed the course of my speaking career because for the first time, it felt as if i was a purposeful storyteller.

Have never looked backed from that defining moment.

Blogging every morning for 11 years was birthed out of the desire to become a better storyteller, and perhaps some day to become a master storyteller.

Why?

To dream, create, and inspire.
