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.
Satisfied?
Is your culture worth defending?
Do others see you as a warning or an example?
Do you have a systematic way to uncover your blind spots?
Is profit the goal or the reward?
What are the four basics for world-class leadership?
Are the four basics something you’ve honed and live by, or are you embracing some theory from a leadership guru?

The more i talk with people who have big dreams of breaking away from the corporate path, the clearer this reality becomes.
Self-help gurus, and how-to gurus literally prey on these people.
How do i know?
Ask anyone who’s worked diligently to follow the guru’s recipe and put all the “must haves” in place, “How’s your business going?”
Few will proclaim, “Amazing. Beyond my wildest dreams.”
The missing piece, as i see it, is an attitude of defiance.
Defying conventional wisdom and .thinking .differently
The harsh reality is you have to differentiate yourself from a sea of “pick-me’s” in order to secure your (remarkable) place in the market.
It’s in the fine print of all the guru messages…”This won’t work for most people. Proceed at your own risk.”

The fascination with fascination. Just over seven years ago, i began thinking about what would my life be like if i lived like i were dying?
To challenge the status quo – because it’s just a habit i cannot break – rather than think in terms of “only six months to live”, i landed on the idea of “what if you had 10 years left?”
Come June 8, there will be exactly three years left of that decade-long opportunity.
All i can think about is this:
What if i hadn’t begun this commitment? Where would the past seven years have taken me?

.think .differently Disney style…
If you’re looking for that type of perspective – thinking differently – there’s this (retired and out on his own) Disney keynote speaker most people have never heard of…
His ideal client is an organization that has decided to burn the ships – the CEO has made a formal commitment to move forward differently, and better.
It’s a relationship that is analogous to adults who struggle (like i did as i approached my 40th birthday in 1999) with their health and hire a personal trainer to transform decades of decent, but less-than-optimal habits.
