What can only you do?

one of Jeff noel's blog posts
Retiring 10 years early from Disney to start my own business (in 2014) eventually revealed to me this insight.

Balance is a myth. Says who?

“i don’t do these things because i’m lucky. i’m lucky because i do these things.’ -jungle jeff

When you create space for yourself to spend all your time doing what only you can do, ‘Magic’ happens.

Small talk, holiday version, work

Professional Text thread
From my extensive research, most cannot rattle off their priorities (in priority order).

So, how was 2024?

So, what are your plans for next year?

Are you satisfied with both answers?

College Weekend, Work – Saturday

7-second video: Parent’s perspective.
5-second video: President’s perspective.

Will there be a full-house? Will there be great story-telling? Will i/we be inspired?

People who habitually prepare make it look easy. People who habitually wing it also make it look easy.

Most people can’t tell the difference. Disney people can.

Many speeches cover exactly what you expect. Meeting expectations (customer/parent satisfaction) is dangerous.

Leadership’s role?

Two audio speakers on the far left. Photo: Lakeside Church entrance taken from parking lot.
Zooming in you see the speaker size. Serious sound and bass producing capacity.

Here’s an important context: Orange County Code allows 60dB acceptable noise level. Anything above that constitutes disturbing the peace. The DJ’s PA system and his music speakers (two separate noise sources) easily over 100dB.

The second important contextual point: Have been speaking to the Church staff and Leadership for over a year. This is a critical note – based on the sound level and duration, there appeared to be a complete disregard for Orange County Code enforcement standards.

One simple question.

Why?

Because yesterday was an absolute heinous noise violation.

Heinous.

Completely avoidable.

Totally forgiven.

So…

Begging this question to Church leadership: What noise guidelines have you established with your campus activities team?

Noise guidelines may be the key to a mutually beneficial environment.

We will eventually arrive at a solution.

We are good, decent, respectful, loving people.

And, as all Americans should be, law-abiding citizens.

Easy peasy.

Be great at the extra inch

GNP.
GNP.

Habitually doing seemingly insignificant things is the essence of going the extra inch.
