Leaving a trail for our son – Page 25 – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Hierarchical priorities are fun

disney speaker Jeff Noel keynote objectives — Simple. Easy. These are not the same things. Life would be great if they were.

Magic happens when you know why you do what you do.

Until then, you are a boat without a rudder.

Born to thrive?

colorful business card — Originally i only created four boxes. Discernment told me i needed an ‘administrative’ website. A 5th one, to kinda be the HQ for the other four.

Drew the colorful, four-box image (above) on a piece of copy paper from our home printer using our young son’s crayons.

Somehow pieced together the business card design and took it to Kinkos to print like 500 business cards. This was late 2008.

In early and mid-2008, i purchased a few domain names from GoDaddy.

On January 1, 2009, i officially registered an LLC using Sunbiz.org

Somewhere in the ‘early days’, it hit me, the 5th box is the big box wrapping around the other four. Five boxes had been designed from the start but i never intentionally did that. It appeared in a creative burst of, “How am i gonna fix this?”

Turns out it never needed fixing. It was brilliantly simple for the start. Like the Universe was remaining silent, but had cooked the reveal into the original design.

The Universe knew i’d get there.

Why?

Because, apparently, i’m a natural.

A naturally ~~lucky~~ nutty creative.

Dream big at home

Dream big at home.

Start with dreaming about the perfect set of priorities in your life.

Then winnow it into the perfect prioritized order using your priority’s best, short list.

Then live, learn, discern, hone, enjoy.

Repeat.

Beware of doubt

Beware of doubt.

Why?

Doubt has robbed me (and most) of pursuing alternatives to social norms.

Norms like closed-mindset.

Norms like a sedentary lifestyle, fueled with mostly processed foods.

Norms like being a Christian with our smile, but not with our heart.

Norms like sacrificing health and family for career ladder climbing.

Norms like living a life that’s architected by default, not by design.

Norms like thinking someone else is in charge of your life.

When was the last time you convinced yourself, “I’m the CEO of Me, Inc?”

Had a nice ring to it when i thought it up, and convinced myself, “Jeff, you are The CEO of You, Inc.”

Keep prioritizing

Keep prioritizing.

The quality of your life and your life’s results rests on your prioritized priorities.

The glaring challenging?

Most of us have no role model.

The biggest challenge?

Quit procrastinating. Quit waiting for the role model to appear.

Become the role model.

There is no other way.

And remember, find a million ways to stay motivated.

Be an example, not a warning.

Note: What’s in it for you by becoming, finally, an example? You get to die knowing you delivered a rare offer. Die believing you will be the example that someone needed.
