Being Caged In Is Boring, But Secure
Being Caged In Is Boring, But Secure

Never get bored with two things:

  1. The Fundamentals
  2. Common Sense

Never get comfortable with two things:

  1. Status quo
  2. Mediocrity

Always be thankful for this:

  1. Everything

And never get bored with blogging.

Speaking of Fear

Dear jungle jeff readers, you probably know this, but jungle jeff is just one of five daily blogs that I write.

After speaking of fear yesterday here at jungle jeff, a few minutes later I posted an important jeff noel blog post.

And the topic at jeffnoel.com yesterday was the antithesis of the one here at jungle jeff.

Is it okay to notice personal growth and use that confidence to make a dramatic leap in progress?

One thing for sure, I’m not afraid to find out.

Darwin Disney?

“It not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change” . — Charles Darwin

“Keep moving forward“.   — Walt Disney

Friday night my son and I watched “Meet the Robinsons” on The Disney Channel.  At the very end of the Disney movie is Walt Disney’s quote.

Do you know what Charles Darwin and Walt Disney are trying to say?

Turn The Page

Effective August 1, 2009, I tweaked jungle jeff’s focus.

Jungle Jeff began over 200 posts ago, with a single. solitary purpose – to drive hopeful business professionals to Disney Institute’s website.

jungle jeff has always been my personal site.  From day one, key people appreciated the transparency.

Working desperately hard, jungle jeff became an informal and organic place to create interest in Disney Institute.

I kept my big ideas and big goals in check.  Yet still managed to have great fun – the way Walt Disney himself would have exuded a childlike excitement about pushing the boundaries to traditional methods.

When I started, there were few, if any, rules written about corporate social media policy, and jungle jeff began, and operated for many months without official policy or guidelines.

Along the way, very few invisible lines were crossed, and with eager adaptation, jungle jeff kept going. All in the name of progress and the pursuit of something Walt Disney made famous – excellence.

Progress, pursuing excellence, and staying ahead of competition in these tough economic times does not come risk free.

It’s been the equivalent, for me, to getting an MBA.  World class effort, time and worry invested that will always remain invisible.  It’s the price that had to be paid.

Thank you to the people who believed in this idea, and provided feedback and support.

While I will no longer talk directly about Disney Institute, I will continue to share valuable insights on how Walt Disney, the man, and a hero, has made me a better person.

And who doesn’t want to be a better person?  Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
