Progress is energizing and exhausting

Aspiring High School Novelist
Yesterday. He wrote. i got three months of taxes done which means i’m all caught up for the year.

 

Progress is energizing and exhausting.

Our Son (16) is a day or two away from finishing his first book.

He plans to be a Novelist.

The entire week of Spring Break he’s been writing like he means it.

And often in the past seven days, it’s been tough to find inspiration.

But he persevered.

Which is exhausting.

And energizing.

Paradox is a wonderful gift in everyone’s life.

Our two weapons to defend ourselves from fear

Disney Keynote Speaker
Lavalier microphones: the more there are the harder it is to manage. Same with writing seven Disney Business books.

 

The thing about fear and doubt is that we always have two weapons to defend ourselves.

  1. Creativity.
  2. Change.

We make our plans for a future state.

But the future is unknown.

Please take the initiative to launch, learn, revise, repeat.

Try something.

Revise it as necessary.

Relaunch the new change.

Keep repeating until done.

(We are never done.)

Excited to try something i’ve never done before.

A chip off the old Walt Disney block.

Work & vacation everyday

Disney Business author jeff noel
Writing yesterday at Disney University, day 84 of 365.

 

Work & vacation everyday.

It’s possible.

But not if you’ve never done it and not if you believe you’ll never be able to.

Still writing, even on Thanksgiving. Why? Because it’s a blessing.

An immediate sanitation and recovery process should the kiddie pool need it.

Disney’s structure and process is unmatched.

The towel figure is a perfectly timed and themed Moana tribute. Also a rare glimpse of animated port hole images (this time from Toy Story).

When you see Moana this will make perfect sense.

 

The disembarking process was much easier than i expected.

High expectations officially exceeded.

2016 Disney Dream Cruise Day 5 fond farewell

Disney business author jeff noel
Photo 2013. Some flip charts are structured, some are not. These two are not.

 

2016 Disney Dream Cruise Day 5 fond farewell.

Over and over i witnessed and smiled at incredible attention to detail.

If we (Disney) ever miss an opportunity, it’s because we have a blind spot. It’s not because we don’t care or think something isn’t worth it.

Funny how i was visiting as an inspector, but continuously found myself saying the Magic word, “Wow”.
