Last one, for now. And I have to tell you, They must really want to be excellent.
Hope you’ve enjoyed this insightful journey into the relative simplicity for having a world-class corporate culture. It works for personal branding too.
How does a one-take-You tube video, five-a-day blogger know? If I have to explain it to you, you won’t understand.
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.
It was, and still is, a sad day for many people, December 15, 1966.
For it was on this day in history that Walt Disney died.
Being born in 1959, I was old enough to remember watching Walt Disney on Sunday nights, as he came into the living rooms of Americans across the country.
He made such an impression on me that I eventually found my way to Disneyland as a 12-year old Guest.
And years later, while attending a Pennsylvania College, I spent a winter semester (1982) as a Magic Kingdon Adventureland Jungle Cruise skipper, jungle jeff.
There’s more, much more, about this Disney story, but it’s a tale for another time.
Have a Magical Day everyone. Signing off from Orlando, Florida and living right next to the Walt Disney World Resort, jungle jeff 🙂
PS. We miss you Walt.
PS. This is a “bonus” post today. Today’s main post is next, please scroll down if you’d like to read it.
Abundance and Seth Godin? At the risk of having you leave jungle jeff and never come back, I’d like to share access to Seth Godin’s brand new eBook, What Matters Now.
