They swung back around. While walking yesterday, i was also watching the sky. This photo opportunity was over quickly. When you zoom in, it’s harder to keep the subjects in frame. Kinda a miracle these shots happened.

Different is better than better.

How did you not see that?

mobile view of webpage
How did you not see that? Immediately added an “a”.
list of 17 items
How do leaders not see these?

How did you not see that missing “a”, jeff?

Everyone else sees it the first time they see (read) it. i’ve read it dozens of times.

So me not seeing the missing “a” is remarkable because i’m the only one who doesn’t see it. Everyone else sees it. How can they not?

But i saw it yesterday. Finally.

Was prompted to re-read my junglejeff.com website copy after talking with a Disney leader yesterday.

Now let’s return to the other part of my thinking this through, after reading not only the page i added the “a” to, but one of the last pages on my JungleJeff.com website…

As i read the list of 17 (second photo above) it dawned on me immediately–no one is thinking about nor asking about these 17.

So most everyone* not seeing anything from the “list of 17” is remarkable because i’m literally the only one who sees it. Basing this assumption from extensive research (since joining Disney Institute in 1999) inside 2,000+ organizations.

*The know is to do. To know and not do is to not yet know. (final answer)

One provocative idea

woman holding a touring bicycle near an ocean
August, 1984. Just weeks before we drove across the United States for five days to get to Orlando and Walt Disney World. To begin carving out a life with lifelong careers at Disney.

One provocative idea is what you need for a:

  1. TED Talk
  2. Book
  3. Website
  4. Social Media

Note to self: Get on it, jeff. Write your next “punchy” book. i mean, now that you’re starting to feel better. lol

What pain at work

recycling website
When i typed my (personally owned) URL that had to do with our homeowners association, this is where visitors get redirected because…

DNS means Domain Name Server.
GoDaddy admin screen
Yesterday’s experience was the nudge i needed to delete my GoDaddy Legacy (2008) account and the four domain names and their associated URL’s.

There’s pain in negative work experiences, disappointments, and unproductive work sacrifices.

Pain teaches us.

The more pain we experience, the more education we get.

We can learn which pain is an investment and which pain is bankruptcy.

Investment pain is pain we welcome because we know believe it leads somewhere good. Perfect example is the 2008 decision to start my own business so that in 2014 (after 30 years at Disney) i could retire from Disney and go out on my own. Doing the same thing i did at Disney Institute, but being in charge of everything, especially my travel schedule.

2024’s final week, work

two boys with Mickey Mouse at dining experience
Mickey and Minnie remind me of jeff and Cheryl. Always trying to create happiness.

When you strike out on your own, you either own your company or your company owns you.

Even when you don’t strike out on your own, you must face the ownership conundrum. Who owns you?
