The original Apple Watch was underwhelming compared to the iPhone

Apple Watch 2 arrival — Last night before heading to Epcot, UPS dropped off this box. Apple Watch 2 inside.

The original Apple watch was underwhelming compared to the iPhone.

The original iPhone was underwhelming compared to iPhone 7.

Why invest serious money in an unremarkable and soon to be outdated product?

Because the product is best in class at the time and is going to get better in ways that will astonish.

i want to be in on the ground floor.

And, as my CEO Bob Iger challenged every Disney leader years ago (paraphrased), “We should all develop a love affair with technology.”

All Disney books to be written with these three impossible goals

Disney leadership expert jeff noel — Yesterday, September 21, 2016 was International Peace Day.

Walt Disney's Main Street Window — Photo from iPhone 7 Plus.

All Disney books to be written with these three impossible goals:

All written on an iPhone
All written at Walt Disney World
All told, seven books total (in one year)

Imagine the pushback Walt Disney used to get from some of his crazy ideas.

Do not feel guilty because of me

Top Disney management consultants — Yesterday i sat at the far end of this photo to write.

Disney Keynote speaker and author — Context to this location.

Do not feel guilty because of me.

Walt Disney was an overachiever.

Thirty-plus years on the inside and i’m cut from the same cloth.

No one has to overachieve or go after impossible goals.

Dear son, i will offer one cautionary piece of wisdom:

It’s ok to set the bar within reach, but you’ll eat yourself alive if you privately dream about doing it differently but never take the risk(s).

That said, it might be one of the most impossible goals i’ve ever made:

One year, seven Disney books.

Write seven Disney Business Books between the release of the iPhone 7 and the release of the iPhone 8.

And to up the level of creative difficulty, write them all at Walt Disney World and all on an iPhone.

What’s moving you?

16-year old novelist — He just turned 16 and is in the USA Track & Field shirt. He’s a writer first and foremost.

He recently decided to write a novel instead of his original idea for a collection of short stories.

His first book’s storyboard is obsolete because of his change in direction. Yet he hadn’t created a new storyboard. He’s been struggling to write everyday and i told him without a storyboard it will continue to be difficult.

After a heart-to-heart talk last night, he produced a decent first draft storyboard within an hour.

So impressed.

What’s moving you?

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.
