Yesterday’s posts where written at night, after getting home from a 14-hour door-to-door day. This happens 2-3 times every 365 days.

i love not promoting my five daily, differently-themed blogs.

Over 19k posts.

Invisible to the world, except for a few people i care about.

Can’t imagine starting a single day without writing.

i am no longer going to work hard for a promotion at Disney

Somewhere in the 22nd (2007-ish) year in my 30-year Disney career i made a life-altering decision:

“i am no longer going to work hard for a Disney promotion.”

Instead, i worked hard to be the very best at my current position as a professional speaker. A position i loved, felt privileged to have, and found joy every day doing it.

Insight: Letting go of a life-long habit, but redirecting it to create a different (yet similar) habit, changed my life.

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.

Overcoming reluctance?

A sage once said to someone full of doubt, “Simba, remember who you are”.

 

How does a person or business overcome their reluctance to self promote?

How does one justify the time and expense to say, “Hey everyone, look at me?”

Perhaps the answer is to become a remarkable category of one.

Regret Is Awesome

Yesterday, as I was adding some tags to the blog post, I typed Regret. That word came to mind because it was the key driver in the decision to ride a bicycle across the country. Or not.

If I didn’t do it before I settled down and started a career somewhere, I knew I would probably never have the chance again.

Job, career, marriage, house, bills, family, kids, responsibilities, worries, challenges, health, cars, vacations, promotions, yada yada.

And so on October 5, 1982, with $75 in my pocket, I left Philadelphia for Washington State.

Regret is awesome.  Otherwise, I would never have left.
