Yeah but did you earn it?

paper invoice
This Seth Godin book-order invoice is perfect for today.

Yeah but did you earn it?

Who? Me?

Yes.

Earn what?

The remarkable right to be 100% trusted.

How long did it take?

Probably after one or two years. And certainly after seven years now.

Never once did something to pad an invoice.

Never once did something that had to be fixed.

Never once did something that contradicted something else.

Always undersell and overdeliver.

Always demonstrate over-focused generosity.

Always honest, authentic, focused.

Always thinking deeper, reaching higher, working harder, and caring more than other speakers and business advisors.

Always the one who compromises financially; we start with a price and work our way down.

And, always the one willing to push the limits farthest from acceptable standards.

Organizational Trust

jeff noel, disney speaker, in Montana
In a word, risk-taking.

What would have to happen now so that in three years you are doing what you want to be doing?

Can you trust yourself to do the work now and for the next three years?

PS. Organizationally or personally, the decision and commitment is the same.

Christmas Eve 2019

Disney Keynote Speakers
Christmas 2018.

Happy New Day and happy present moment.

Today, October 24, 2019, i meet with a trusted Disney Institute (DI) colleague who designed, wrote, and created the DI facilitator leader guides as well as the DI class participant workbooks.

So blessed by my own lifetime at Disney and Disney Institute.

Casual lunch meetings with former colleagues reminds me of the caliber of institutional knowledge i and my friends possess.

Our experience is a gift: to know and to be able to meaningfully share it with the others in the world who are willing to work hard for organizational (and personal) vibrancy.

Whom do you trust?

Mickey and Pluto
You should be your own best friend. Love yourself.

Whom do you trust?

Trick question.

Correct answer is, “Myself.”

Think about it and work diligently to make this your reality.

From six decades of personal experience, this is more challenging than it seems. 

Focus on it and your life transforms into balanced excellence and personal vibrancy.

Dear Son, passing the trust torch to you

Trust
The landscape contractor has a history of showing up as promised only 50% of the time. So no, i do not trust he’ll be here March 29 or 30. i hope so, but i cannot trust it.

Dear Son, passing the trust-torch to you.

Two nights ago when i said i trust you to self-monitor your nightly hour of video games – and that you will face temptation when parental oversight lessens…remember?

From the time you began to talk as a one-year-old we have prioritized trust as the number one relationship asset.

What hit me as i was falling asleep was this:

You must have a powerfully trusting relationship with yourself.

As you mature and approach 18, you will be in charge of your choices.

Choices, my Son, are everything.

Trust yourself to make great choices.

Trust yourself to learn from poor choices.

And remember that a poor choice can simply be to not make one because of fear, doubt, and uncertainty.

You must trust yourself more than anyone else in the world.

Note: Risks for personal growth are healthy. Risks for pleasure are unhealthy. Self-control follows trust and personal responsibility.
