Walt Disney taught me to give it 100%

Disney's jeff noel quotes
The repetition with this photo is 100% intentional.

 

What if all our hard work and preparation only results in reaching one person?

Would we still do it?

What if that one person was our spouse or child?

Would we still do it?

What if we don’t work hard and the result is we reach no one?

Would we be satisfied with our effort?

Would we find peace, contentment, and joy in not trying harder than we are capable?

Walt Disney taught me to give it 100%.

Everyday.

All day.

We might set the world on fire.

We might not.

Live like you mean it.

What criteria should be used to validate a “Disney Expert”?

Safe to assume Disney experts get that way from being immersed, for a lifetime, in Disney Culture.

So there are Disney trivia experts, Disney pin-trading experts, Disney history experts, Disney food experts, and on and on.

If someone were to write a book entitled:

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

What would make them an absolute expert authority?

Would working there for a lifetime be pretty close?

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.”
