Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Is your job a breeze?
Are you completely satisfied with the way your career has progressed and where it’s headed?
Over and over, there’s convincing evidence that more people are dissatisfied than satisfied.
Know what the biggest stumbling block might be?
Lack of courage.
To combat this, a courageous person has to privately, and relentlessly, coach themselves.
“Whatever!”
Courage, by the way, often looks like this:

Walt Disney’s Disneyland turned 55 yesterday.
This significant day in American history came and went, relatively unnoticed.
Just like many important dates.
As a leader, you can not allow this to happen, if you want to have a great company culture.
For people who want the motivation and courage, to dust off their childhood dreams, Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture, provided a beacon and hope for millions the world over.
But then he died.
Who will recall him now? How will we recall him? Why will we recall him?
I will. Using blogs. Because he still inspires people, to this very day. But each year, more people forget the significance of his simple message.
Who couldn’t use some inspiration?
Think the people at the Walt Disney Company forgot about Disneyland’s 55th Anniversary yetserday?
Not a chance.
Why?
Same reasons as Randy Pausch, who’s (death) anniversary is one week away.
I’m changing the world, moment by moment, starting with myself.
If someone asked you, “What do you do?”, what would you say?
We’ve all heard the saying, “Plan ahead”.
It’s undeniable, and it makes perfect sense, and even if you don’t plan ahead, you know it’s true.
But how do we develop the habit of planning ahead and do it consistently?
We don’t. We aren’t perfect. So the goal is to prioritize our efforts and plan for the big ones, like retirement.
Is four years too soon? Is it too late?
What do you think?
Thinking about it is one thing, doing it is a whole other level of commitment and responsibility.
The payoff to hard work, and advanced planning?
If I have to explain it to you, than I’ve wasted my time reminding you about it through the courage of my own example.
Last week I told an influential person where I’ve been working for the past 27 years that I’d like to begin the dialogue for retirement.
WHAT?
Exactly.
You know, to understand what my options are when I reach retirement age at 55.
It’s less than four years away.
This is exciting stuff…
