Find a million ways to stay motivated.
It spontaneously came out of my mouth one day while answering a Disney Institute class participant’s question that went something like this:
“But Jeff, you don’t understand, our business is way different from Disney. What would you recommend we do to create our own industry specific Magic?”
I repeat:
Find a million ways to stay motivated.
One way (of the million ways) is to have fun with it. i have a small (but growing) list of firsts i keep track of:
Firsts:
- First freeze of the season (a rare occasion, one worth noting, often damaging sub-tropical plants)
- First morning hearing a Robin singing (our unofficial start of Winter)
- First morning the temperature reaches at least 70 degrees (our unofficial start of Spring)
- First morning the temperature dips below 70 degrees (our unofficial start of Fall)
- First day i see the caladiums break through the soil (another unofficial start to Spring)
- And two days ago, a new “first” was added – The first day Going-To-The-Sun Road opens (someday be there when it happens)
Find a millions ways is not a theory.

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.
