Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Let your passions define you.
Our attitude drives our passions.
This is freedom for some and a prison sentence of some.
Love yourself?
Some do, some don’t.
Depends on our attitude.
i love that today is Friday, December 14, 2018.

(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.

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.
What do you want to be?
What do you need to do to be that?
Who’s your customer?
What do you want them to feel?
How much risk?
How much work?
Does it really matter?
Is it possible?
Are you satisfied?

Is our attitude a selling feature?
Could it be a differentiator?
Should it be?
And if so, how best to communicate it? (the train of thought, below, arrived yesterday after i asked myself that exact question):
i’m not interested in your money. i’m interested in helping you. It’s what i do. The fact that you pay me is a bonus.
The stereotypical sales pitch reminds me of a blood-thirsty predator after it’s prey.
The salesperson(s) will literally say anything you want to hear.
