Initiative is gold

jeff noel Disney Speaker — A moment in time, capturing a marketing video location – Wild Goose Island on St Mary Lake. i’ve been sitting on a bunch of marketing videos. Why? Fear?

Initiative is gold.

Initiative is rare.

Initiative is one of life’s best teachers.

Initiative is scary.

So is regret.

Stop waiting.

Go.

Just go.

Baby steps don’t work?

Mickey’s had the ride of a lifetime too.

Steve Jobs welcoming Bob Iger to the stage at Steve’s Apple Keynote, announcing the Pixar sale to Disney.

Bob Iger said, “In today’s world, baby steps don’t work”.

This ABC interview with Bob Iger is worth the five minutes.

Professing, “The long way is the short cut”, i believe baby steps are what lead you to bold steps.

It’s the old adage, there’s no such thing as an overnight success.

Two pods in a pea

Jody Maberry and jeff noel at Disney — We moved side by side so we could see the same notes.

Two pods in a pea.

Of course it’s backwards.

There’s no obligation on me to say it the way everyone knows it.

A variation of freedoms that is fun to experience.

Son, i’ve earned the privilege to write what i want, when i want, and in the style i want.

How and why?

By writing every day for over a decade. By not having social share buttons nor an email subscription option – my writing is under no obligation to meet any expectation.

Son, freedom takes many forms. “Writing freedom” is a favorite.

Change isn’t hard at first

Verizon monthly plans — What would happen if i tried Verizon?

Change isn’t hard at first, specifically in our youth. Why? Because children are so experimental, so untethered with conformity, so excited about possibility.

Children dream wide open.

No filters.

There’s next to nothing to lose.

And then something happens.

We grow up and learn about fear, risk-taking, and status quo.

Playing it safe is risky

Untuckit store in Orlando — If shoes change dramatically, so will everything else. Exciting. Risky.

Playing it safe is risky.

Looking to retire a lifetime wardrobe of Disney business suites for something new.

Why?

Old school thinking (business suit and tie) is now my choice to embrace or discard.

i’m in charge of everything.

Everything?

Yes.

Such as travel structure and processes.

Think simple, lean, easy, scalable.

To structure travel using only a small day-hike backpack, drastic changes need to happen.

To stay active while traveling, i need running shoes.

To also carry business dress shoes is cumbersome and redundant. Why have two pairs of shoes for a short trip?

This means being onstage in running shoes.

This fundamentally changes everything about my personal brand.

Can you imagine me speaking for Disney Institute in running shoes?
