Serving those bold enough to believe they can

Copyblogger quote
Hating you is part of the territory.

 

Before reading, please make sure you caught the two sentences under Divide and conquer in the photo.

Some will hate your boldness.

Some won’t.

You know what’s cool about the world?

Some will cater to you. For example:

Someone who serves those bold enough to believe they can change the world.

If Disney ran your life, you would be required to raise the bar to the highest standard on everything you do.

If Disney Ran Your Life

Disney's Magic Kingdom photo on a busy day
There are a couple dozen people who are eminently qualified to be Disney Business experts.

 

Is there any interest in having this become a category?

If Disney ran your life.

If Disney Ran Your Life: The Owner’s Manual to Creating Personal Magic.

What a person chooses to focus on is what the person chooses to say about themselves.

Could our personal story become more purposeful and meaningful if we were as intentional about it as Disney is in running their businesses?

“This better work”, Bob Iger said three times to Tom Staggs as one of the Walt Disney Company’s most important modern day meetings concluded.

This better work.

The Fast Company article summarizes what i’ve been saying for years:

There probably hasn’t been a day in the past 10 years where we have not said, “We should have never done this.”

Beginning tomorrow, a new chapter at junglejeff.net:

Bait and switch?

New balance Running shoes
The product numbers don’t match,

 

Bait and switch?

Another pair of New Balance 1080SB5’s arrived yesterday – a Sunday. Opened the correctly labeled box to confirm accuracy. Inside, however, was a pair of women’s running shoes.

Started to smell hassle factor. What to do?

Clicked the delivery notice email link and in about two minutes, had everything needed to:

  1. Have the replacement shoes arrive in just two days.
  2. Have the return package re-sealed and sitting on the porch for UPS pickup today.

No return sticker was required. Plus, the existing packaging had a subtle yet convenient pre-made sealer for returns. An email containing a one-sheeter with tracking number to go inside the package.

Totally impressed.

It was a nice wow.
