Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
“Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.” — unknown
That’s all there is to say today.
Not really. But I’m gonna zip it and hopefully the quote will plant a seed of greatness in your soul and your work this coming year – it’s only two days away.
Huh? Exactly.
Hey, here’s a one-take-You Tube video from me again (howdy), jeff noel, the five-a-day blogger.
Are you starting to see how this might work for you? I mean, I’m just a common guy, working really hard at this social media phenomenon.
A few months back, I saw a You Tube video featuring Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, answering questions as part of some panel.
What Bob Iger said, paraphrased from memory, was this, “Disney isn’t embracing social media. Disney is embracing the customer. The customer is embracing social media.”
Would your customers describe you or your business as hard working? You know, staying current and relevant with their needs and desires?
We would hope our answer is a resounding yes. Why? Because, our competition may be invisible at this point in history.
You see, there are others out there who can see something that our customers need and want, but our customers haven’t identified it yet. And neither have we.
Those other people who can see it? They’re changing the world.
Cybrarian. Never heard of this person, probably. No worries. I had never heard of it until this month.
Librarian. Everyone’s heard of this person, probably. The librarian is in charge of the library – the place where books are kept.
How many of you can see it coming? The day when books will be relics on display in museums. It may not happen in the next 10-20 years, but it will happen. And it may even happen sooner.
The music industry never saw it coming. They should have led the revolution, instead, they were victims of it.
Free music file sharing over the Internet. Preposterous! Exactly.
Cybrarians can see it coming. Amazon’s Kindle is the first ripple of the cybrarian tsunami.
Surf’s up, dude. Catch a (digital) wave.
“Who needs this”?, is stereotypically said in a sarcastic tone, and maybe even with our arms thrown up in the air is frustration. Can you picture it?
But that’s not what I mean here. Not today ever.
Today, in these tough economic times, these extraordinarily turbulent world times, we need this.
We need leaders.
Not managers. Well, we need managers, but not as much as we desire leaders.
We need someone with passion to make a difference.
Most humans are hard-wired to do good – to make a difference. But most are hard-wired, also, to fear. Fear keeps good people, who want to make a difference, in the shadows, where it’s safe.
We don’t need any more people in the shadows. it’s too crowded there. We need people to go out in the sun, and lead the others who want to make a difference, but have no one to follow.
Are you serious about becoming better at what you do?
I’m guessing that most people will answer, “Of course”.
Gonna call your bluff. Most people, and perhaps you’re the exception, just don’t have it in them to do the hard work .
They have the dream, the desire, the will, but something is missing.
The demands on our time are literally all-consuming. This simple fact makes it hard to stay focused.
When we lack excellent focus, our results are less than our expectations. When this happens, we begin to doubt ourselves. How do I know? Because I’m just like every body else. Just like you.
The one difference I’ve found that most others haven’t? Tomorrow. I’ll share it tomorrow.
