(Above) Brand You: Tell your personal story.
Great reminder.
The year was 2008 or 2009.
Our new Disney Institute Vice President, Jeff James, often walked past the cube i shared with Jack Santiago.
By the way, because office space was so limited, nearly everyone at Disney Institute shared a cube.
On one brief encounter, i invited Jeff into my cube and used Jack’s bookshelf (all my business books were at my home office) as the center of the vision i had for Disney Institute.
i said to Jeff, “Jeff, in the children’s video genre, what is the average household percentage of Disney videos in every children’s category?”
Our educated guess – from personal experience – is the percentage is overwhelmingly high for Disney videos.
Then i asked, pointing at Jack’s bookshelves, “What if every business leader across the globe had an overwhelmingly high percentage of Disney Institute business books on their office bookshelves?”
Currently, Be Our Guest is the only published “Disney Institute” business book.
My Summer 2018 focus is to get the next seven Disney and Disney Institute business books written, then published.
The business world is waiting, even if they are unaware these books are coming.
And this morning, i’m just days away from the first of six Summer writing retreats. All seven books are currently in the two-thirds done stage.

Happy New Day.
Awoke at 3am.
Filled with ideas and excitement.
But if i start working at 3am, i miss two hours of sleep.
Short-term, like until about 1pm, it would be an advantage.
But after lunch, i’d be ready for a nap – i’d rather not.
Decision time – so i close my eyes and hope to not reawaken until 5am.
Probably 10 more looks at the clock as time seemed to stand still.
i fought the temptation to arise.
Hard.
Perseverance paid off.
Eventually and excitedly began at 4:55am.
The 2018 Disney Way Keynote Speaking has been busy January through May and i’m now officially on a Summer sabbatical through September.
Hell-bent on finishing the series of Disney Business books that have have been incubating, two-thirds completed, in my mind and heart.

To think, write, and share without expectation is glorious.
The attitude it takes to surrender to the marketing noise and follow your own path – priceless.
By the way, i define marketing noise (aka advice) as all the stuff the guru(s) and the want-to-be(s) shout as loud as they can to get your attention and your money.

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.
