Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Only one was influenced by intentional, personal choice. Pretty scary to realize so much of life is out of our control.

Yesterday, an aha moment.
i’ve spent countless hours thinking about the tone and message for my new website.
Tough love which is a direct, no-nonsense approach is fading and being replaced with contagious optimism.
A simple change that i believe might change everything.

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 post went live yesterday. Wrote it 100 days prior. So the emotional excitement motive was cancelled out because of the three-plus month delay.
The motive was, and still is, to record a monumental milestone in a journey that was overwhelmingly destined to fail, but did’t.
It didn’t fail because i never quit even though i didn’t make a dime in over six years. The very first speaking engagement was a turning point. A catalytic milestone that will get lost and forgotten when success becomes the norm.
And now, today, 200 days later, we remember yet again how most success is arduous until it isn’t.
Much of an organization’s heritage is lost on future employees because it’s not perpetuated. Being intentional (like this post) is key to a culture by design.

Sending the invoice and W-9 to the second client this morning. Signed the contract three days ago on Friday the 13th. There are many small, seemingly insignificant milestones in an entrepreneur’s journey.
Because there are so many, it’s easy to discount the value and importance of each one individually.
Knowing how easy it is to forget is a great way not to.

Should you be let go for our obvious, gross negligence?
Will celebrating milestones help your culture thrive? Of course. Yet it’s astonishing how many people know it but do not actively design their corporate human resource practices with intentionality.
It’s Sunday, January 25, 2015. Who cares? No one.
But what if we recalled that January 25 was jungle jeff’s very first day with the Walt Disney Company?
But it was so long ago, 1982, that it no longer has relevance or value to today’s work.
Epic failure.
Hard to appreciate the Mississippi River without the knowledge of it’s headwaters.
Most of your employees have no knowledge of your founder. Not even if their life depended on it.
Acceptable?
