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.

Progress is energizing and exhausting

Aspiring High School Novelist
Yesterday. He wrote. i got three months of taxes done which means i’m all caught up for the year.

 

Progress is energizing and exhausting.

Our Son (16) is a day or two away from finishing his first book.

He plans to be a Novelist.

The entire week of Spring Break he’s been writing like he means it.

And often in the past seven days, it’s been tough to find inspiration.

But he persevered.

Which is exhausting.

And energizing.

Paradox is a wonderful gift in everyone’s life.

Will two hours of daily writing be worth the career time investment?

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.

 

Return on trust

Seven book series
Caught this on Twitter yesterday…i use #7in1 to tag all my Disney Book Writing locations. i’m not the only one who writes prolifically, a 7-book series (by 7 authors?).

 

Show up.

Be honest.

Be real.

Be helpful.

Do what you say you’re going to do.

And don’t quit when you feel like quitting.

Ps. You’ll often feel like quitting (writing) until you eventually get to the point where not writing is never an option.

If there ever was a common man’s nirvana, it may be writing like you mean it, like it matters, like someone will benefit because you have the guts to ship, day after day after day.

New hashtag for Twitter is #7in1

New hashtag for Twitter is #7in1

Why?

Because i’m writing seven Disney business books in one year.

From September 9, 2016 the day the iPhone 7 went on sale, to September 9, 2017 (+-) when the iPhone 8 (or equivalent) goes on sale.

It’s literally impossible, which is perfect.
