Brand You: Tell your personal story

Great reminder about staying focused on the basics.

(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.

Take your time but don’t wait

Disney Keynote Speakers — You give yourself an A+ for creating your own learning environment, right?

Take your time but don’t wait.

Your clock is ticking.

Ignoring it doesn’t change things.

Addressing it doesn’t guarantee things.

No one said life was easy.

And no one said you can’t make up your own game plan to live like you mean it.

Make sure your creative ideas have no choice but to flourish.

The privilege of a lifetime

Deleting computer files — Decide and let go of anything not serving you. This requires self-reflection, vision, and courage.

The privilege of a lifetime is to live as yourself.

Our attitude determines our path.

Our path directs our journey.

Our journey is our final exam.

True or false, we are all self-made?

Had to reread this and then it made perfect sense.

We are all self-made, but only the successful will admit it. – Earl Nightingale

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.

Wisdom comes from an underrated source

Writers coaches — Maybe 5 years ago, at the end of a presentation Mark did for aspiring writers, i spent $2k on Mark’s “Wealthy Writer’s Wisdom group”. Nothing happened from this. Successful failure.

So ridiculously simple we run right past it.

And the crazy thing is every one of us has a ton of experience because we’ve all made a ton of mistakes. And let’s not discount the mistakes from not taking action – all those times we hesitated and talked ourselves out of taking action.

Wisdom comes from an underrated source…

Wisdom comes from experience and experience comes from making mistakes.

To know is to do. To know and not do, is to not yet know.

Do something that scares you and eventually you won’t be so scared. This can become a daily habit.

Note: Spending $2k on Mark’s course was a mistake, but only in hindsight. What i got from the decision to act was learning that fact. But i continued to hold on, thinking something would change. It never did. Unsubscribing set me free and gave me peace.
