One big, deep, nagging concern

Boba Fett Disney+ chapter list
Chapter 5 will be fun to watch tonight. Probably peacefully. Yet imagine living next to a Church that regularly hosts outdoor concerts. And the stage and speakers are pointed at your living room.

Huge opportunity regarding Lakeside Church operations.

It’s raining.

And cold.

Without the rain the plan is to meet Chuck at Church, drive to my home, and walk a mile back to Chuck’s car.

Two umbrellas will allow this to happen even in the rain.

Want to bless Chuck with an opportunity to experience how far away i am and still hear the Church business inside our home.

Over the years, the noise volume has grown louder, happens more frequently, and event durations last longer. As the Church grows, so too will these business outputs.

Any residential neighbor producing similar noise levels would immediately be asked to turn the noise down dramatically. Which begs the question then…

Is it true that no one is above the law?

Asked Chuck for a hug. We reassured each other that neither is angry. Reminded Chuck i’m here to help be part of the solution, offering my business insights and advisory experience.

Chuck made it crystal clear his mission is greater than any residential subdivision’s mission. And that he will do what he is legally able to do to get there.

He believes he is lawfully complying within his permitted codes.

The obvious challenge is without a shared public document in both our hands, neither of us knows the letter of the Church’s code requirements.

i wish us both nothing but the best intentions, the best outcomes, and a future so bright, we gotta wear shades.

Broom or a pencil?

In the past, jobs were about muscles, now they’re about brains, but in the future they’ll be about the heart.

Minouche Shafik, director, London School of Economics

i used to tell our son, now 19, that his future will revolve around which mindset he uses – a broom or a pencil?

One uses your body as your paycheck maker, the other uses your brain.

Manual labor or office job.

What Minouche is proposing is a radical third option.Thank you COVID-19 and Global Warming.

To the future

Disney Podcast jeff noel
While the blogs are 10 years old, the “If Disney Ran Your Life” Podcast is only 10 weeks old.

To the future.

Keep moving forward…opening new doors. – Walt

It’s easy to make decisions when you know what your values are. – Roy

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough. – jeff

Profit was the goal for Roy. For Walt, profit was the reward.

Walt and Roy were a great duo.

Operationally, profit as the reward is the only scalable, sustainable, long-term way to engage the hearts of the people doing the hard work. With an engaged heart, you’ve got a committed (versus a strictly compliant) team member.

Leadership is seeing the future before anyone else

Leaders see the future before anyone else.

And the best followers are early adopters.

Risk-takers, both of them.

And without both, our lives would not progress with the breakthroughs.

We need one person to identify and the other person to embrace.

Dear Future me

Mid Life Celebration model
The four obvious boxes are surrounded by a fifth, larger box. Clockwise starting upper left: mind, body, money (work), spirit and the large box holding those four is HQ (home).

 

Dear Future me,

Enjoy the harvest from your lifelong commitment to excellence.

Enjoy the harvest from your drive, your creativity, and your (growing) wisdom.

Enjoy it all, even when your efforts seem in vain.

Trust me, when you balance your time energy across mind, body, spirit, work, and home, you’ll become remarkable at what you were placed on Earth to do.

The world craves remarkable. It’s what moves our species forward.

It’s also what makes our fear and doubt excuses invalid.
