Does 40 days and 40 nights equal seven years?

It does.

In exactly 40 days, we arrival at April Fools Day.

And on that day seven years ago, i began what literally seemed impossible.

For 100 consecutive days, write five daily, differently-themed blog posts about life’s five big choices: mind, body, spirit, money, and hq.

We:

No one i know writes five daily, differently-themed blogs. Does this make me a great leader?

No.

Does it mean i initiated a serious change?

Yes.

Does writing five a day for seven years make me a leader?

No.

Does it mean i initiated serious change?

Yes.

Insight: Be careful in judging your efforts and your initiative based on someone else’s standards. Follow the trail or make a trail.

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.

Do something great within 72 hours

Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker — 24 hours after delivering the Memphis Leadership Keynote, yesterday’s run was a reminder.

Do something great within 72 hours. And it can’t require HR, leadership, or finance approval. Get one in the win column.

What is rocket fuel for enthusiasm?

Disney conference speaker jeff noel — The clock (middle right edge) is at 4:47am.

Life is very challenging, and i began yesterday morning very early in order to feel well prepared.

Being well prepared makes room for wonderful anticipation and excitement.

This is rocket fuel for enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm is contagious.

Too tired to think?

Memphis — Beil Street…group run in progress.

Too tired to think?

Nope.

On the contrary, thinking has been on over-drive.

Elvis has left the building

Orlando airport parking garage — Habits are what we think and do without thinking.

Habits are our default mode. No thinking required. It’s built in.

Of course i take a photo of where i parked. i also always park in the last spot in the row.

So the “insurance policy” is that if i can’t find the photo, all i have to do is walk the back of the parking lot.
