Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Walt Disney said many profound things. There are few on Earth that think Walt Disney was stupid and misguided.
Are you a Walt Disney fan? I mean, a fan of the man, the dreamer and doer?
After several days of long jungle jeff blog posts, I’m cutting this one short with a simple and profound Walt Disney quote, which summarizes how I want to think in 2010:
“If you can dream it, you can do it.”
In 2010, let’s pursue the dreams we’ve always had, but have not yet made our dramatic leap. Ya with me?
In March 2009, just ten short months ago, I made a promise – a 100-day challenge.
Have you ever made important promises, big promises, promises that you could almost taste the life-changing benefits?
Some call it dreaming big dreams. Walt Disney, one of my heroes, was like that. But Walt Disney also had something different.
He had drive. And Walt Disney did what he set out to do. And Walt turned a deaf ear to the multitudes who called him crazy.
Walt Disney did things others said were impossible. When I set out to write five daily blogs for 100 days, not even I could imagine what it’s turned into.
Here we are, not 50 blog posts later, not 100, not 500 blog posts later, not 1,000 either, but over 1,500 blog posts – in ten short months.
It is quite literally a Five-A-Day Blogger explosion.
PS. Who would you rather listen to:
Audacious, antagonistic, insightful, servant.
It is helpful to remember the big picture, isn’t it?
Do you have creative and effective ways to remember the big picture? I mean everyday. Do you?
Currently, writing five daily blogs has helped me make a dramatic leap in the way I perceive excellence and act on excellence.
The dramatic leap didn’t happen a year ago when I was writing single digit monthly blog posts – November 2008.
It didn’t happen when I wrote nearly 20 monthly blog posts – December 2008.
And it didn’t happen in the first two months of this year, when I wrote even fewer.
But something magical happened in March, ten months ago.
I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow. Wishing you the best day of your life -today! Carpe diem.
Who needs me to draw a map?
No seriously, I hope you’re getting this. Hey, everyone is busy. You don’t think I know that? Come on, I get it.
But do others get it? There is never going to be a time when you will have time. It hurts to hear this, doesn’t it?
So now is the time. And this is the place for simple, daily reflections on excellence. It has to be a daily habit, or it will never be excellent.
You can be very good, without a daily habit, but not excellent.
My whole point last week, spontaneously inspired by a ten-minute walk outside that Dallas hotel, was what Tom Peters calls: “A Brand Called You”. Others call it , “Me Inc”.
Don’t believe me? Then click here to read an August 2007 Fast Company article from Tom Peters entitled, A Brand Called You.
Hey, it’s your crazy, one-take-You Tube video guy, jeff noel, here. You know, the five-a-day blogger. Somebody stop this guy. Please.
Did you bust your hump this week? I mean, to deliver excellence in everything you do?
Wait, I’ve got more. Look, I realize that my style will annoy some people. It’s not intentional. It’s simply who I am. Okay?
And part of this is the rather intense sense of urgency I feel, which is why we can not wait for others to keep up. Wish there was time to slow down for the slower ones, but there isn’t.
The truth is, being excellent takes everything you’ve got. So if you want to be world-class, but don’t want to work, this ain’t the guy or the blogs for you.
Have fun, avoid negativity, dream big, work hard, be creative, skip excuses, and just keep doing it.
