Seth Godin’s perspective on Leading.
It’s quite common for me to fantasize that Walt Disney and I are related because of the similarities in the way I believe our thinking aligns.
Come to find out there’s another “crazy man” out there that is growing on me. Seth Godin.
It almost makes you want to snort milk out of your nose when you hear what some people think leadership is.

jungle jeff Social Media Expert? Maybe. Says who?
You know how you get to be an expert? I certainly didn’t. Because I , and so few others, stick with anything long enough and passionately enough to master it, let alone become the teacher.
That’s when you start becoming the expert. When people come to you to learn.
What does it take to be a social media expert? Here are a few of my guesses:
I don’t make anything up. That’s part of my personal brand commitment.
Audacious ain’t it? Maybe even antagonistic? Perfect.
That’s part of my brand promise too.

Disney, as in the man Walt Disney, has taught me to experiment with every new and innovative way to strive for perfection. And it was Vince Lombardi, legendary head coach for the Green Bay Packers, that said, “In chasing perfection, we will catch excellence”.
My son, as much as I try to teach and inspire him, actually teaches and inspires me. Who would have thought?
How? Well, for starters, he looks at technology like you and I breathe the air – casually, effortlessly, and fearlessly.
Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Blogs, Websites, GoDaddy, WordPress, Skype, Mobile Me, iPhone,iPhone apps, IM, You Tube, Google analytics, etc.
Our nine year old son is familiar with them all. I know. I’m his teacher.
He thinks I make technology look effortless. if he only knew how hard I worked.
Bet Walt Disney felt the same way. Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
What’s the first thing you do when you hear your alarm clock go off?
As I write this, it’s almost 5am. I’ve been up for an hour, reading, writing, thinking.
Actually, I didn’t think the alarm clock was ever going to go off. Just lying in bed, wondering, “When is that thing ever going to go off. Come on. Let’s go. Bring it (the day) on!”
Those who know me know I’m completely serious. Those who don’t – “crazy man”!
Part of the challenge is the thing we’re waiting on is called an “ALARM” clock. Yikes.
What if we called it an “OPPORTUNITY” clock. Wow!
Everyday is an opportunity to do something great. Everyday is a gift. To be able to get out of bed. To be alive. To have the privilege to serve and help others.
Have you noticed the tone, the language, of today’s post?
There a few key words and phrases that set the tone. Agree?
The same is true in business. That’s one of the most powerful secrets in business. Use words to nuture and grow a great culture.
I’ll explain more in another jungle jeff post. Right now, it’s off to the Orange County Convention Center for a GREAT day.
Make your day GREAT! Because if you don’t, who will?
