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.

Will i have the guts to do what i said i was going to do?
To live as if i had only 10 years left to live.
In seven more days i turn 57.
Three years left.
The first seven, in retrospect, flew by.
In spite of that, they were also savored.
Retired at 55, just like i said i was going to do.
Started a business, as promised.
Wrote that book.
Living like i mean it.

Example of intentionality last night using a PBJ sandwich.
It’s been awhile since i was nervous.
Being the CEO comes with concerns about things most others leaders can dismiss.
The bottomline?
The CEO is the bottomline.
Practice what you preach.
More specifically, and with much greater difficulty, only preach what you practice.
There is no place for theory as CEO.
Your job is to lead everything and everyone to astonishing results.
Everyone can easily blame you for anything less than extraordinary.
And when extraordinary is achieved, no one cares if you are the CEO.
i love this opportunity to embrace a unique struggle few understand because for most, it’s only theory.

24 hours after delivering the Memphis Leadership Keynote, yesterday’s run was a reminder.
The red, black and yellow on my card inspired by a famous Mouse.
About four miles into a 9-miler.
Getting closer.
My Leadership Keynote centered on Lee Cockerell’s book, Creating Magic.
One day prior i issued a 72-hours challenge.
“Do something great” that doesn’t require HR, leadership, or finance approval (within 72 hrs).
Do something great within 72 hours. And it can’t require HR, leadership, or finance approval. Get one in the win column.
Posted most of these photos to the client’s internal company (2016 conference) social media app.

Steve Prefontaine would have turned 65 yesterday. He tragically died in a single car accident in 1975.
The paradox of (midlife) conviction.
Much of Mid Life Celebration’s original vision has come true, yet much remains.
Why?
Because the world is asking for my Disney expertise.
i am quietly and consistently working to give the world what it wants.
i believe that a vision works best when evolution is in the DNA; change is not only welcomed, it is necessary.
N-e-c-e-s-s-a-r-y.
Just finished reading today’s Seth Godin’s post and he’s promoting Persuadable, a new book hypothesizing that great leaders change their minds.
