Going the extra mile is a flawed proposition.
Sure, it’s an audacious statement.
Which is perfect, by the way.

Hat tip to Steve Jobs for yesterday’s (Oct 29, 2016) Halloween costume.
It’s been years since i’ve worn a Halloween costume.
Yesterday broke the drought.
When we brainstormed it was this easy.
Walt Disney?
Too much work and probably not enough payoff.
Steve Jobs?
New Balance running shoes, faded jeans, black turtle-neck, and “Steve Jobs”-style glasses.
Easy.
Perfect.

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.
Game-changing lessons are only learned in the crucible of perseverance.
Doubt is never far away.
Doubt needs to be replaced with confidence.
Confidence needs to be balanced with deep humility.

My speaking business didn’t make a dime in revenue for the first six years.
In the seventh year (which was only last year) i finally earned revenue (far exceeding any other year).
Who would wait seven years to cash their first paycheck?
Who would leave behind the security and admiration of a 30-year Disney career, risking failure?
Who?
Sure as heck wasn’t going to be me.
But the 2008-09 economic tsunami challenged me in a life-altering way.
You see, i love quotes as much (or more) than most people i’ve met.
Fanatical even.
Connoisseur.
But when i intentionally stopped doing this one thing, i changed everything.
What?
i stopped posting quotes from famous people.
And began posting my own, original, quotes.
i came to realize that not until i took control of what i believed and was able to synthesize and architect it into an original quote thought, then my thinking wasn’t original.
i didn’t invent quotes, but i did harness how i consumed them and then moved from being a consumer to a creator.
Consumers don’t change the world, creators do. -jeff noel (Tweet that)
