Exercising different creativity because the pressure is off

Disney Institute keynote speakers
Last night’s writing location, less than one mile from WDW.

 

Couple of speaking inquiries in the past 72 hours.

As business grows, there’s less pressure and temptation to compromise corporate values – your organizational DNA.

Walt Disney and Steve Jobs inspire the heck out of me.

They were not everyone’s favorite leader.

Why?

They had insanely high standards and expectations.

Just another of many items a  startup CEO has to figure out.

Bottomline, a yes has the same risk and reward as a no

Indisputable Excellence
Yesterday at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

 

He’s thinking about next steps.

It will be expensive, relatively speaking.

On the other hand, it’s an incredible bargin.

Bottomline, a yes has the same risk and reward as a no.

Taking risks is risky, so is playing it safe.

Growth and surrender are inseparable.

Go.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

This is rarely talked about and therefore rarely addressed

Highland Trail Hike
It was indescribable to make it this far.

 

Highland Trail Hike
Never saw this view until last night.

 

Highland Trail Hike
Never saw this angle before either….and in the back of my mind as we made it across the treacherous portion…i didn’t know if i could make it back.

 

Highland Trail Hike
Wow. i have to make it back. Otherwise, it’s an 11-mile walk to the closest road access.

 

Fear holds leaders back. And it holds leaders back their entire career. Overcoming is the DNA of exceptional leaders. This is rarely talked about and therefore rarely addressed.

And like a summit, it’s a continuous journey.

It literally took 30 years for me to figure this out.

Pushing the limits is useless as a theory

Pushing the limits is useless as a theory.

Had to reach out to the Speakers Bureau late yesterday (Friday) to get an update.

They are going to bypass my offer and seek a lower priced contract with another speaker. Was only $1,500 away from their highest bid. Would have been easy to accept.

Why not then?

Because pushing the limits is useless as a theory.

Classic nothing ventured, nothing gained.

PS. Also asked for full payment at time of signing – the only way i could justify a reduced rate.
