The excitement is building quicker and higher than anticipated

Domain name auction
i’ve been using junglejeff.net for seven years. Getting the .com only required seven years of patience and intentionality.

 

The excitement to start writing the next book(s) is building quicker and stronger than anticipated.

i have six seven Disney books to write.

And a very ambitious writing schedule.

The good news is i have a foundation built on seven consecutive years of writing two-hours a day (never missing a day).

That’s a serious foundation habit.

The fear that accompanied the first book is a non-issue this go round.

That’s a pretty cool blessing feeling.

Yesterday Jody Maberry had me on his Podcast as a Guest.

We recorded 30 minutes of conversation.

It debuts in one week on March 22, 2016.

i’ve never done a Podcast before and didn’t know what we were going to talk about.

Jody simply asked questions about Disney and i answered.

In 21 days, the focus will change yet remain the same

i’d be a literal jackass to avoid this opportunity any longer.

 

In 21 days, the focus will change yet remain the same.

Will still write two hours every morning.

Will write with a different angle.

At least i hope so.

At least that’s the plan.

Dennis Snow is a go-to Disney Keynote Speaker

DisneyWorld 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Dennis was Captain Nemo in his first Disney role in 1978.

 

Popular Disney Keynote Speakers
Dennis did a wonderful speech sharing three Disney Customer Service insights.

 

Dennis said he delivered 95 speeches last year. Assuming a minimum of two weeks vacation, that’s two speeches every week.

A significant amount of travel is required to accomplish this level of success.

i do not want to achieve the type of success that requires that much travel.

Sure, the money adds up, but at what cost?

Obviously for the right person, to have a job you love that allows for paid travel, that could be a dream come true.

You must wear this every single day for your entire career

Disney Speakers
Esteemed colleagues (L-R) Dennis and Byran prepping for big client. Dennis and i met in 1988 and had lunch yesterday.

 

We had lunch at Cracker Barrel and talked for nearly three hours. Dennis was my Disney Traditions Manager in 1988, when 13 hourly, front-line Cast Members (i was one of them) were selected from hundreds of applicants.

Becoming a Disney Traditions instructor is one of the highest (non-promotional) honors an hourly Cast Member can receive. It’s a year-long cross-utilization role and several times each month you are pulled from your operation for a day to teach brand new Cast Members on their very first paid day at Walt Disney World.

It’s an engaging and exciting day-long introduction to the Disney culture, history, milestones, “business secrets, and it’s where they receive their Disney Name Tag.

Wearing your Name Tag is expected every single day of your Disney career because of what it represents to our Guests – it means any Cast Member can help you with anything.

Seems simple enough.

It’s what separates good and very good companies from world-class.

PS. Dennis retires from Disney and Disney Institute April 29th.
