Visited SunTrust first, Magic Kingdom second

What does a small business entrepreneur who’s worked for over six years with no revenue do after experiencing a catalytic career milestone?

Think Super Bowl ending cliche…

“I’m going to Disney World!”

First stop, the original Walt Disney World Corporate Headquarters before Team Disney was opened in 1991, to thank his wife for her support. Then on to Disney’s Magic Kingdom Theme Park (clock tower shows 12:20pm) for a perfectly timed viewing of the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade and lunch at Columbia Harbour House.

Next stop a trip where it all began on January 25, 1982. And on the walk to Adventureland, a nice chat with a Walt Disney World Research Cast Member.

On the walk out, a chance meeting with the Mayor, who’s campaign slogan is “Pull the lever, vote for Weaver.”

But if you leave, then what?

Prevailing wisdom says you cannot be a prophet in your hometown. In this case, the hometown is Disney and Disney Institute (DI).

As a DI speaker, you are paid a couple hundred bucks a day. Everything else goes to the Organization. It’s the way it works. No harm, no foul. It’s clear and if you don’t like it, you can leave.

But if you leave, then what?

Real life in real time really truly comes to life.

Or not.

Depends on the person’s will to succeed and the value they bring.

Yesterday’s Fortune 150 client paid the going rate for a world-class (Disney) Keynote speech. If you’re not familiar, it starts at $16k and goes up from there. Call anyone who can offer such compelling content and request a quote for a (Disney) Keynote Speaker.

When you become the Organization, you skyrocket past a couple hundred.

It takes guts to ask for such a fee.

It takes a prophet to earn that fee.

The world has always become a better place by having courageous people do things that matter, in spite of their fear and doubt.

Yes, i’m talking to you. If you hate cubicle nation for any reason (and there’s a diverse list of reasons), get busy working on becoming the Organization. Become an entrepreneur.

It took over six years to earn my first dime, but it was a big dime.

i’m here to feed (for free) your desire to overcome those million obstacles and excuses you keep staring at.

When questions turn into statements

Planning on doing work that matters?

That question can double as a statement.

Planning on doing work that matters!

In an hour it’s out the door to drive (not fly) to work. The second 15 years at Disney were spent speaking for Disney Institute – over one-million people globally.

Doing work for some of the biggest and most well know brands in the world, like this.

The notion that we are each the CEO of You, Inc. is such a powerful notion.

Figuratively or in reality.

It’s ours.

No one else owns it.

We know this.

Yet we wait. Mostly.

So.

Stop.

Waiting.

Take another step forward today.
