Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
These are the days of our lives.
We are old enough to be very wise.
But wisdom only sticks around if it is recognized, honored, and practiced.
Live a life so above reproach that if anyone ever said anything bad about you, no one would believe it.
Walt Disney is quoted as saying, ‘If you can dream it, you can do it’.
Who doesn’t trust Walt?

Tonight a friend retires at age 55.
How will the people gathered there to celebrate feel about her age?
Happy and ecstatic for her?
Bitter or jealous it’s not them?
We can wish and we can hope, but nothing makes dreams come true faster than these four things:
How can we know for sure?
Guessing our friend doesn’t know for sure, but she’s willing to move forward anyway, with a disproportionately greater sense of hope than the average.

Dare to think unthinkable career thoughts?
You mean to be authentic?
Yes.
And still we (constantly) whisper to ourselves, “But I’m not the owner”.
This complicates things. The owner knows what she’s doing.
Because the owner is the one who has everything to lose. Not the dreamer who sees things from the comfort of the sidelines.
(the complainers of the world generally have no experience with the hard decisions and the competing and changing priorities of being a business owner)
(and owners so easily forget what it’s like to be frustrated on the front line)
The solution, become an owner.
Start something.
Offer something the world can’t live without.
Become so rare in your thinking that you become valuable.
Very, very valuable.

Just last night, a dinner conversation in Canada inspired today’s post.
Only one person in charge of our life.
Life is not a dress rehearsal.
Live like you mean it.

Dear Son, so awesome to have you home after your eight-day middle school trip to New York City.
On the list below, the first characteristic we’ve been talking about since you could talk.
The second one has been on the radar for only two weeks (pre-trip conversations).
Three and four introduced in the car going to school this morning.
Three and four deliver one and two.
You are ready for all of them now.
Your life will rise or fall on these.
It is the same for every human.
