Is Disney afraid to take risks?

Is Disney afraid to take risks?

Not in a million years.  Walt Disney was the ultimate “envelope-pusher”.

Pushing the envelope is a phrase used when someone goes where no man or woman has gone before. Faster, higher, longer, deeper, more difficult, whatever.

In ten years of traveling regularly, I’ve never seen In-Flight Internet access.

Until yesterday.

It worked GREAT.

It was easy to create an account at www.gogoinflight.com .  Seems like gogo inflight is pushing the envelope.

The world is changing.  Fast.

I’ll bet if Walt Disney was alive, he’d love the speed, and, the breeze in his face.

I know I sure do.  Carpe diem, jungle jeff  🙂

Are Impossible Goals Best?

Is setting an impossible goal the best way to ensure your success?

Almost sounds counter-intuitive, doesn’t it?

If it’s impossible, than it can’t be done.  Right?

Well, here’s what I think:

“If you’re goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough”. 

Only a hunch, and I’ll bet most who read this will be in such a rush, that the insightful message will be lost.

Trust me, I have embraced this insight.  And it has made all the difference in the world.

Best wishes for continued success as you pursue your big dreams.  Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

Company Blogs and Corporate Blogging?

Company Blogs and Corporate Blogging?

What is it?  How is it done?

And most importantly, what blogging policies and guidelines are best?

Here’s an article I just read that will start with the policy basics.  Simple structure that isn’t too complicated.  Click here to read: Corporate Social Media Policy

I’ll be following it as it looks to be a great, and credible, source of valuable tips to make it easier to move forward, safely, with corporate social media.

Make it a great day.  And thank you for visiting jungle jeff.net, Daily Reflections on Excellence.  Carpe diem, jeff 🙂

So, If Obama Has a Blog….

Did you know that President Obama, and The White House, have a blog?

Seriously.

So what does that mean?

Well, to me, it means that blogging, Facebook, etc., are more common and socially acceptable than most realize.

Then, what does that mean?

I think it means that it’s also good, even critical, for business.

What I mean by that is this:  “If I have to explain the business case for blogs and other social business networking, than you have some catching up to do“.

Seriously.  Get on the bus, or get left behind.  Or at the very least, you’ll be playing catch up.

This is simply a personal opinion.  One that’s as simple as suggesting that exercising several days a week is good for our overall personal health.  That doesn’t need any explaining either, does it?

Live from New York, It’s….

…. not Saturday Night Live!  Used to watch that show while attending College, when John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin, Gilda Radnor, Chevy Chase, Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, and others were making a name for themselves.

I digress.

I’m visiting New York, and the hotel is just a few blocks from Niagara Falls.

I walked to the Falls late yesterday.  It was a crisp 60 degrees.  Spring buds on the trees and tulips a day or two away from blooming.

The renewal of, and long awaited, springtime.

And the relentless, timeless, and enormous flow of water.

It was humbling to stand in it’s presence.

Make it a great, springtime day of renewal. Because if you don’t, who will? If not today, then when?
