World-class comes with a price

Disney Keynote Speaker — 5-a-day blogging was supposed to last 100 days, but i honestly had zero confidence i could make it a week. Bottomline, i needed to practice writing in order to write my first book (above).

World-class comes with a price.

There are uncommon, and unconventional, categories in the business world that are relatively unknown.

How about the category, “She does what she says she’s gonna do?”

No one is competing to be the best in the world at this. Not really. And certainly not officially.

With deep humility (corny, yet true), i believe i’d be a contender.

A promise.

Two hours a day.

Seven days a week.

Fifty-two weeks a year.

Eight consecutive years.

That’s 2,922 straight days without missing a single day.

At five daily, differently-themed blog posts, that’s 14,610 posts.

This is post 14,614 and day 2,923.

Year nine began 90 minutes ago.

Some notable Disney anniversaries

Treadmills — The treadmill of life provides great exercise, but doesn’t get us anywhere. Yesterday at Golds Gym.

Some notable Disney anniversaries:

Hire date, January 25, 1982
Retired, Halloween 2014
Partners In Excellence, 2000
Walt Disney Legacy Award, 2013

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

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.

Documenting critical milestones is the Disney Way

Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker — From a February 2015 audio visual check at Orlando Marriott World Center

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.
