Find it.

PS. It’s everywhere.

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.

Stop eating lunch alone

Baltimore restaurant
Business dinners and business lunches are a fantastic way to build trust.

 

Just had a thought (at 4:28am) that could be a game changer…

What if i never ate alone for lunch unless i planned on it?

Having lunch with at least one other person would require planning, organization, and the benefits might astound me.

Find and stay in your lane

Took this to remind me where to pick up the recording last night.

 

Thank goodness for technology. Not missing an episode of the final American Idol season. But i watch it after the fact.

Why invest precious time watching American Idol?

Because it teaches me about branding.

The judges are always impressed with contestants who know who they are – singers who’ve found their lane and stay in it – and refuse to dilute it by trying to be something else in spite of the pressure to confirm to a winning formula.

i am no longer going to work hard for a promotion at Disney

Somewhere in the 22nd (2007-ish) year in my 30-year Disney career i made a life-altering decision:

“i am no longer going to work hard for a Disney promotion.”

Instead, i worked hard to be the very best at my current position as a professional speaker. A position i loved, felt privileged to have, and found joy every day doing it.

Insight: Letting go of a life-long habit, but redirecting it to create a different (yet similar) habit, changed my life.

The force is strong in darkness and in light

Sunbiz.org
Annual filing was completed yesterday.

 

Annual filing for a small entrepreneurial business is one of many details to stay on top of.

i did it while we were at the YuGiOh tournament.

Having a portable business is freedom.

Also yesterday, i recalled the tragic anniversary of a friend taking his life at work. Thank goodness, he didn’t physically harm any others.

Life is glorious and it is horrible sometimes.

It’s our responsibility to find meaning and purpose while living with both.
