Shhhh, it’s a surprise

My wife and I decided this year to do something a bit different from our usual tradition.

Each year our son’s birthday is a pretty big production.  Cheryl is amazingly gifted as a planner, organizer, and she absolutely delivers the goods.

Don’t know how she does it.  Seriously. She works harder at her job than just about anyone at Disney.  Biased?  Of course.  But you know me by now, I calls ’em likes I sees ’em.

Anyway, there isn’t going to be a big par-tay this year.  Chapin is cool with that.

But there will be a big gift.

We got it today.

At the Apple Store.

I planted a seed with him today, “I’d like you to think about ways you can make money.  I’d like you to think about ways you can help me with my retirement business.  If you do, I can pay you”.

His eyes lit up.

The world is changing.  No secret there.  What I will not wait for, is to find out how it’s going to change.

Instead, I’m determined to write my own ticket, so to speak.

That’s right, many people think a young child can not help an adult build a business.

People say a lot of things can’t be done, mostly because of doubt, fear, jealousy, guilt, etc.  I get that.  Been there myself.

But not any more.  Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

Is Life a Beach?

Definitely!

It’s nice to see me laugh. I am such an intense person. But deep own inside, I’m just like our eight-year old son. Childish!

Happy Birthday Disneyland

Happy Birthday, Disneyland.

July 17, 1955.

Walt Disney couldn’t have envisioned how unbelievably successful his business philosophy would turn out.

The World is a better place, I think, because of his creativity and dedication to quality.

I’ve applied those two concepts to virtually every aspect of my personal and professional life.

Not only is the World better, but I think I’m better too, because of Walt Disney.

Speechless?

Speechless?

Well, not exactly.

Then what?

Pressed for time, actually.

You know there are four other jeff noel blogs out there right?  Visit the others and later today, I’ll say what I really wanted to say.

Gotta go, my taxi is waiting – 5:30AM departure.  Good thing I’m a morning person, eh?  Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂
