Decisions – Page 2 – Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker

Change your scripts and you change your results

Disney Customer Service Speakers — One of 2017’s Writer’s Retreat locations.

Often in business, our decision is driven by price.

Sometimes, like yesterday, the price i’ve come to expect wasn’t available.

Two choices.

Buy now at the higher price.

Wait and hope the price drops.

Here’s the catch.

Waiting may limit the flight choices and the price may increase even more.

It felt great to rewrite the old script that said, don’t pay the higher price.

The new script says, make a decision now and move on.

Unmade decisions pile up and overwhelm.

Decisiveness comes with a price – the speed of business, and sanity.

Freedom and joy lies on the other side of decisiveness

plugin minimalist — Today. Had only three plugins to start with. Also deactivated the Genesis Theme and Child Theme on all 5 blogs.

This is a boring post (as are many) if you aren’t able to read between the lines and understand the unspoken insights embedded in my writing style.

The decision to delete all but one WordPress plugin was finalized while i’ve been writing – this Saturday morning, December 10, 2016.

Also removed commenting on posts. Why? i’m reachable other public ways and reply within 24 hours.

Between texts, emails, phone calls, and meetings, i do not need other additional platforms to check.

By the way, plugins are the easiest route in for hackers to attack your website. Comments and social proof isn’t worth it to me. If i know you, you know you have easy access to me, but not on my blogs.

Seems fair.

Why?

Because i decided it’s fair.

That decision is good enough.

Pushing back the website rebranding date to June 25. It was going to be June 8.

Two key partners are out of town this week and at the moment, progress hinges on my decisions.

And decisions this critical are best done collaboratively with these two incredible people.

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.

First impulse was to walk away without a second thought

Facebook Messenger screen shot — Potential business opportunity from a Facebook message.

Will this insignificant business opportunity be significant?

First impulse was to walk away without a second thought.

Why?

Because the fee is ridiculously low.

What the vendor is offering in exchange for four days of work isn’t even remotely close to what i charge for a 60-90 minute Keynote speech.

So i started asking, “What intangible benefit(s) is disguised behind the price tag?”

Suddenly, i became intrigued.

When you have high, Disney-like standards

Minor Rear end crash photo — He waited in the car because last night Orlando went down to 33 degrees.

Rear end fender bender — Off ramp to new Disney Springs parking garage.

When you have high, Disney-like standards, it’s easy to be let down.

Is three weeks an acceptable standard to wait to hear back from a Speakers Bureau?

The ball is in his court. Garnering a 25% commission, it’s fair to expect to have a much higher standard for effective communication.

Poor performers are generally given an opportunity to change, and if they don’t, help them find their happiness elsewhere.

i hate to let someone go.

What we accept by default become or standard.

Yeah, leadership can be unpleasant at times.
