At Disney we call these “Cast Member Previews”

Disney speaker jeff noel new website
Prelude. Yesterday was my first look at my new Disney Speaker website (first draft).

 

At Disney we call these “Cast Member Previews”.

That’s when things are almost ready for the public, but not quite.

After Cast Preview Days, next is what we call soft-opening. This is unannounced admission into the new venue. It’s not scheduled or advertised to the public. Only the Cast know about it. The Guests are surprised and delighted to be able to “test” the experience.

It is often a highlight of their stay because they never saw it coming. Not many Guests get to participate in soft-opening.

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.

Look over there…it’s, it’s…it’s a new website..

 

Deep breath…may i (unofficially) present to you…

junglejeff.com

Spoiler alert because you may have never realized, this site you’re reading now is junglejeff.net 

Using GoDaddy’s handy domain name backorder feature (for many years) the previous owner abandoned it in early 2016.

Was quite shocked to purchase it.

Yee-haw!

Having a dot.com is a better piece of digital real estate than any other.

Location, location, location.

Domain extension, domain extension, domain extension.

PS. Today’s (June 9) reveal (rough draft form) is known only to a handful of people. However, by the the time this posts it will be polished up: .simple .corporate .different

Perhaps the biggest test of our self-discipline

Post it notes rock.

When post it notes aren’t available (away from office), i use iPhone Notes app, then copy and paste.

 

Perhaps the biggest test of our self-discipline…

The first draft of the new Disney Speaker website is due June 8 (my 57th birthday), which is five days away.

For the past two weeks, i’ve peeked (it’s live, but no one knows the url) but a couple days ago i made a personal commitment to wait until “Christmas morning” to look under the tree.

Exciting. Childish excitement really.

So tempting to peek.

Great Disney leaders are never satisfied

It’s easy to read on a mobile device.

 

You know that feeling when you discover (what you thought was) your best work really isn’t?

Have a handful of potential clients that are at various stages of engagement. As i re-read the jeffnoel.com landing pages, something happened yesterday.

i became disenchanted.

While it is decently written and flows logically, it’s too long.

The reality is executives need clear, concise, and compelling.

Back to the drawing board.
