The reason we avoid deadlines is twofold:

1. We think we have forever
2. The deadline is too much pressure for something we don’t need right now

Long-term procrastination makes us a spectator in our own life.

It’s been 50 days already

Disney Keynote Speaker
Yesterday at Typhoon Lagoon.

 

Deadlines are the reason things get done.

Seven Disney business books written in one year – from the release of the iPhone 7 until the release of iPhone 8.

Not ambitious enough for you?

Ok.

All are being written on an iPhone 7 Plus.

Better?

Wait, you want more?

Ok.

All are being written at Walt Disney World.

Satisfied?

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.

 

Today is one of multiple and progressive deadlines

Idea captured while on a long bicycle ride yesterday.

 

This is due today, May 21, 2016. Note below is captured here for posterity. It’s from an amazing project manager, Disney marketing expert, Executive Chef, former Disney colleague, and personal friend. (My answers are further into today’s posts)

Define the Advisor Program in 2 sentences or less that tell me exactly what the program is, and the top 3 beneficial outcomes I would receive as a customer. (do not include things like “working with an advisor with 30-years experience” as a benefit)

Define who you are in one phrase, like if you were introducing yourself to someone new, either in first person or third person: I’m Jeff Noel, a _______________ (job title), who works with _____________ (type of client) to help them achieve __________________(benefit)

We’ll turn the above info into something like this: Jeff Noel, a 30-year Disney Leadership veteran, is a published author and highly-sought business transformational advisor, helping Fortune-500 companies achieve success through Disney’s tried and true business approach methods.

Jeff took his 30 years as a leader at Disney, and created a better Mouse Trap…

Name the top 5 direct beneficial outcomes (transformations) a company can expect when working with you. Do not list anything that has to do with you or your experience/expertise – list only beneficial outcomes for the company working with you.

Happy 57th birthday dude

Family history photos on wall
How many people live intentionally, which includes living with a deadline?

 

Happy 57th birthday dude. Ok, so it’s still 100 days away as i write this this morning. But when it posts, it’ll be the 57th anniversary of my birth.

Yes, i get that my approach is crazy.

i think we should all consider that the alternative – living like we have forever – is also crazy.

To each his or her own.

i committed to a ten-year plan seven years ago.

Nothing is going to have me back down from it now.

Give yourself the gift of courage to do the impossible.

Counting down 3, 2, 1

Baby wearing headphones
Two nights ago at State Final Basketball game. What dreams from our childhood do we still cherish?

 

Counting down 3, 2, 1…

Today, tomorrow, and then my 57th birthday.

Three days from now the decade-long journey becomes more real.

Odds are decent i’ll live past 60, but it’s not a 100% guarantee.

This is why i boldly declared committed to pursuing a 10-year dream to do everything in life i want to do, as if turning 60 was my last day on earth.

In three days, there are only three years remaining.
