The most damaging thing a leader can do (and we all do it) is to be so busy we can’t communicate our vision in a clear, concise, and compelling way.

Challenge 3% of the male Baby Boomers to do something great before they die.

And with those 3%, a deliberate ripple effect inspired to travel through all male Baby Boomers, and all female Baby Boomers, all Gen-Xer’s, Gen Y, Millennials.

And reaching to scared curriculum space in pre-k through college.

Dude, just keep it to yourself

The wonder of it all is quite remarkable

 

Note to self: you have a very strange sense of remarkable dwelling within you. It mostly feels like something that only happens to rare, fortunate, hard working individuals.

You have been incredibly faithful in following your dream.

Please do not back down from this feeling, nor try to downplay it.

But keep it to yourself, ok?

Spring Fever? Top of the World?

For several decades Disney’s California Grill was called ‘Top of the World‘.

Today’s blog photo’s were taken on a rare, overcast day just down the street from our home, from the top of Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

And today is the first day of Spring 2014 (as this post is written).

Today is also the first day of a month long vacation (as this goes live June 28).

Writing 100 days ahead offers the security of never revealing when work is done from home or when it’s from out of town.

Think about how quietly important that is and why.

Makes the advance writing seem much more reasonable.

Worried. Intimidated. Stressed. Under perform as a result?

Ever go up against work with someone with a remarkable reputation?

Someone you see as the very best at the work you do.

Worried. Intimidated. Stressed. Under perform as a result?

And afterwards be incredibly thankful for the opportunity to work side by side with them because you got to experience something incredible?

And then sometime much later you get a second chance to do it again?

And realize much to your surprise, you are so capable that you actually surprised yourself with how amazingly solid you were the second time around?
