Windermere Prep Cross Country 2016

Spend more time with my Family.

Eat better.

Sleep better.

Start exercising.

Lose weight.

Stop smoking.

Stop drinking.

When i stopped doing this one thing, i changed everything

Famous entreprenuers
Yeah, it’s not very romantic in the early years.

 

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)

The Magic of daily, uncompromising commitment

Disney Customer Service Summit 2016
Do i miss it?

 

Disney Customer Service Summit 2016
i live to close to miss it.

 

While falling asleep last night, the Epcot and Magic Kingdom fireworks explosions were loud and long.

Made me smile.

It’s a 365 day a year occurrence.

Never missing a day.

Like writing five daily, differently-themed blogs, sorta.

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.

Whenever I don’t feel inspired

Looking West.

West still, zooming in.

Sitting to catch our breath as it was constantly being taken away.

Resting. Peacefully. Inspired.

Staying 25 yards away is the rule.

In a car the rules are different. They can walk right past you.

Just below us.

Only the inspired inspire. Whenever I don’t feel inspired – which is insanely rare these days – i simply tell myself to figure it out, quickly.
