A microphone that works

residential front screen door
End of year holiday decorations always exceed the first 10 months decorations.

Which would you rather have?

A microphone that’s always on and easily available?

Or a microphone that when used is heard by everyone you want to hear your message.

i follow a decent number of incredibly talented and smart subject matter experts on LinkedIn.

i consider myself lucky to pay attention to what they say.

The challenge for them (and me) is having an audience that cares about your subject matter expertise.

Most don’t.

Ps. And, your “followers” are probably not people who can write checks.

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.

 

USP aka unique selling proposition

Simplicity wisdom
From Facebook last night.

 

USP is also known as “unique selling proposition”.

It’s something that compellingly separates you and your business from the others who are vying for your customer base.

Until recently, i never gave this serious thought even though i’ve always understood the concept theory. Working for 30 years inside a big Company like Disney, there’s a well-oiled corporate marketing team that has one job – to market Disney’s USP.

And they do it brilliantly.

The sudden invitation two days ago to be part of a large, public, Canadian conference (in 14 days) had me scrambling to polish up some marketing sound bites.

And it caused deep introspection on my own unique selling proposition.

How did i become Disney Institute’s highest rated, most requested speaker? How/why was i selected not once, but twice, to receive both of the Walt Disney Lifetime Achievement Awards?

It had a lot to do with my life’s work – 30 years inside Disney – and honing the most complex and sophisticated business secrets.

It also had a lot to do with a passion for keeping things simple (and prioritized), without which, nothing great happens.

Now all i have to do is say all of that in 200 characters, including spaces and periods.

Great By Choice Or Does Your Company (Or You) Stink?

This is a close up of the photo in yesterday's jeff noel blog post

Two compelling book titles in the Dallas/Fort Worth airport a few months ago. We can surmise that being great (left book) is done on purpose, and being bad (stinky, right book) is done by not being on purpose. This is the Midlife Movement and the Midlife Herd in a weird analogy. The truth (in these book titles) is rather harsh, isn’t it. So is midlife.
