i quit sugar, including Polebridge specialties

The pastries? World-class.
The Disney Characters, world-class.

i quit sugar, including Polebridge specialties.

Wonder if Covid-19 is going to reveal the next thing i can quit (or start, or both).

Time will tell.

World-class thinking can be had if, and only if, you are willing to work hard enough, long enough, and deep enough.

A former Disney Institute boss, Wayne Gagne, wrote an annual Disney performance appraisal in which he said:

No one thinks deeper, reaches higher, works harder, or cares more than Jeff Noel.

In this once-in-a-lifetime extended, personal leadership retreat, it’s perfect to reflect on your shining moments. If you don’t, no one else will. Ever.

Three lessons Glacier taught me about work

Disney Keynote Speakers
Your number one parental job is to be a great role model. Be honest and behave admirably, especially when you think no one is looking – someone is always looking.

Three lessons Glacier taught me about work:

  1. There is no limit to how creative you can be at doing what you do. 
  2. Nature, exercise, and a business purpose make a dynamite team. 
  3. Traveling light on the trail and traveling light in your purpose is a superpower.

Walt Disney taught me

Disney Keynote Speakers
The highest compliment you could receive from Walt Disney was a thumbs up. (and on rare occasions, two thumbs up)

 

Walt Disney taught me that we should take our jobs very seriously but not to take ourselves too seriously.

He also said that it’s kind of fun to do the impossible.

Life is too short and work is too important to not have fun while you do them both.

Torn between the lesson i’m learning and the product i’ll receive

Young entrepreneurs class
There are courses in entrepreneurial leadership. There is also a real life entrepreneurial course called “starting your own business”.

 

Torn between the lesson i’m learning and the product i’ll receive. As a small business entrepreneur, there are lessons in life that no book can teach because in life, the lesson is real, and it’s your lesson.

Paying a contractor by the hour versus by the project may not be the best choice. It is probably the best choice for a contractor, but for a customer (me), it may break the budget.

Time will tell, and i will accept what happens because i didn’t know enough before the agreement. i went on a hunch that everyone would end up being happy.

PS. Fast forward 100 days later to today…happy ending. i don’t contract with many people, and everyone i’ve contracted with has delivered exceptional quality. At the end of the day, you pay top dollar for great quality, whether it’s by the hour or a contracted price.
