It’s like the 2007 unveiling of the iPhone

Not expecting nor encouraging anyone to watch Steve Jobs unveil the iPhone in 2007, but it’s here if you want to.

 

 

The effort to get a business set for scalability is exciting, and a ton of uncommon work.

If it’s done properly (intentionally and brilliantly) it’s like the 2007 unveiling of the iPhone.

Game changing.

That’s what i’ve been working on consistently since retiring from Disney eight months ago.

Slowly. Deliberately. Intentionally. Creatively.

To unveil a product and approach no one else in the world offers.

A category of one.

Bold?

Bold is as bold does.

Be organized enough to know this and deliver on it.

Is there any currency more valuable than time?

All those books that use short cuts and secrets to lure you into buying them.

How have they served you?

The long way is the short cut.

Since retiring from Disney, my “get to do” versus “have to do” percentage has moved from:

51/49 to 95/5

Stunning.

If you ever have a business partner, never go 50/50.

When you disagree, there’s no tie-breaker, there’s stale mate.

But all you need to have controlling interest, and critical decision making authority, is 51%.

Same in life.

Is it Friday already? Yes.

Seriously, it snuck up on me.

Being decently organized is tougher when your wife is out of town for ten days.

It’s also tougher when you quit retire leave your dream job to become an entrepreneur who thinks he can change the world.

Staying up late and getting up early comes with the territory. Being decently organized has many purposes. One of which is to minimize late nights.

Which is more important, creativity or innovation?

Apple Keynote help table of contents

 

Which is more important, creativity or innovation? Can’t have innovation without creativity, but you can have creativity without innovation.

Innovation is being able to implement a creative idea. Without implementation, you’ve got nothing, no matter how creative you are.

Received the first mockups (3) of Mid Life Celebration business cards. Branding it as jeff noel versus Mid Life Celebration but obviously it’s still MLC, even if it’s not mentioned on the card.

Same amazing graphic designer that created the first Keynote Speech presentation is working her Magic here as well.
