Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
It all ends in 12 days.
This is sick.
A decade.
Never missing a single day.
Not one.
It all ends in 12 days.
And then year 11 begins.
Sick.

Happy first day of High School senior year.
Positive thinking isn’t taught in schools.
It’s something you learn from other places.
Frequent those places.
Be greedy.
Let your life be your report card.

Walt Disney was trapped at Disneyland.
He never saw it coming.
One-hundred and sixty acres was 10 times bigger than the original “spare” land he had at his Studio.
The city council never approved his request to rezone those 16 acres.
They didn’t want a year-round carnival in their city.
Walt saw it as a blessing because his ideas continued to expand well beyond anything 16 acres could hold.
So 160 acres….oh my gosh…plenty of land.
Boy was he wrong.
After Disneyland opened in 1955, and as Walt kept dreaming, he told his inner circle to secretly buy up as much swampland near Orlando as they possibly could.

April Fools Day is the day many people play practical jokes.
So what April Fools Day practical joke did jeff noel play on this date in 2009?
None.
The impossible goal of writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts for 100 consecutive days was not a joke.
Knowing i wanted to write my first book coupled with the 2008-09 economic tsunami – it was a perfect catalyst to gain writing practice.
But i thought i was a fool to believe in such a ridiculously ambitious goal.

As you read this, please understand i was insecure, afraid, and alone when i thought up and began that crazy idea on April 1, 2009.
When do four days equal 20 blog posts?
When you write five daily blog posts.
When i began brainstorming what Mid Life Celebration was going to be in the first few years, i had determined life had four big choices…
So i purchased the four domain names above, my gut also told me i should have an “office”, like an administrative HQ for all the stuff that wouldn’t naturally fit into mind, body, spirit, money.
jeffnoel.com was owned by an Arizona State Farm agent.
Being decently organized, i purchased backorder rights through GoDaddy.com for jeffnoel.com in case the State Farm agent let it go for any reason.
Sure enough, and much sooner than i could have hoped, he didn’t renew and i received the right to buy it 73 days after his expiration date.
This was March 2009.
It was then that i added the fifth blog, HQ.
So yeah, i often forget that i originally had four big choices in life versus five.
Visiting the archives for the three posts from March 2009, i’m reminded that i had the fifth choice all along – i called it a digital, administrative store-front. A place that served the digital equivalent of an office on Main Street, USA.
It’s been three years since i wrote in this blog’s category labeled Life’s Big Choices (4 Total).
