Two weeks in

Odds are high in 2020 that the podcasting in Glacier is much better than in 2019.

Two weeks into the new year and everyone is wondering, “How are you doing so far?”

So predictable by societal norms.

We get stuck, stalled, sick.

Sick of grand, burning ideas that all too soon extinguish themselves.

In 10 days, If Disney Ran Your Life, a personal vibrancy podcast, officially launches.

It’s free, for now, and it’s different from what i’ve listened to.

It’s a difference worth exploring.

And of course, i’m only saying this because i know the owner.

Stop putting pressure on yourself to do too much too soon

Gloria Steinem quote about truth
Truth, it hurts and it liberates.

 

Stop putting pressure on yourself to do too much too soon.

Sure, you promised junglejeff.com goes live tomorrow, July 4th. And this is the third deadline you have created: June 8 your birthday, and June 25 your anniversary have come and gone. Now, July 4th.

Why?

Because you didn’t feel it represented your best foot forward. It is, after all, a Disney Keynote Speaker website.

We all struggle with feeling confident enough to launch without perfection.

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.

 

At Disney we call these “Cast Member Previews”

Prelude. Yesterday was my first look at my new Disney Speaker website (first draft).

 

At Disney we call these “Cast Member Previews”.

That’s when things are almost ready for the public, but not quite.

After Cast Preview Days, next is what we call soft-opening. This is unannounced admission into the new venue. It’s not scheduled or advertised to the public. Only the Cast know about it. The Guests are surprised and delighted to be able to “test” the experience.

It is often a highlight of their stay because they never saw it coming. Not many Guests get to participate in soft-opening.

Deep breath…may i (unofficially) present to you…

Look over there…it’s, it’s…it’s a new website..

 

Deep breath…may i (unofficially) present to you…

junglejeff.com

Spoiler alert because you may have never realized, this site you’re reading now is junglejeff.net 

Using GoDaddy’s handy domain name backorder feature (for many years) the previous owner abandoned it in early 2016.

Was quite shocked to purchase it.

Yee-haw!

Having a dot.com is a better piece of digital real estate than any other.

Location, location, location.

Domain extension, domain extension, domain extension.

PS. Today’s (June 9) reveal (rough draft form) is known only to a handful of people. However, by the the time this posts it will be polished up: .simple .corporate .different

Perhaps the biggest test of our self-discipline

Post it notes rock.

When post it notes aren’t available (away from office), i use iPhone Notes app, then copy and paste.

 

Perhaps the biggest test of our self-discipline…

The first draft of the new Disney Speaker website is due June 8 (my 57th birthday), which is five days away.

For the past two weeks, i’ve peeked (it’s live, but no one knows the url) but a couple days ago i made a personal commitment to wait until “Christmas morning” to look under the tree.

Exciting. Childish excitement really.

So tempting to peek.
