Best Career therapy

i get to teach, i have to travel. i love to travel, i hate being gone.

Search for a job that allows you to get-to-do more than you have-to-do. Even if it’s marginal, 51% to 49%. This means your get-to-do has controlling say in the scripts you tell yourself.

Chronic career improvement

Aerial view of Walt Disney World
Our home is in this photo. It’s been delightful to watch Walt Disney World expand from one theme park, two hotels and a campground to what it is in this photo. Photo: Flying from Orlando airport to some distant city to do work that matters, or maybe to hike. Or both.

Chronic career improvement defines your future.

You shun the urgent to focus on the important, non-urgent.

Chronic work improvement also foreshadows your life’s quality in the final decades.

Decades.

One, two, or even three decades of great work habits compounding over time.

We appreciate your artistry. We respect your commitment to your art. Thank you for blessing others.

Do the basics brilliantly

Family room at Christmas
Windows and doors get opened on many (WDW) Christmas mornings, including today’s.

Leadership 101:

Do the basics brilliantly.

Be an example, not a warning.

Run your life like a great CEO.

Over-focus on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore.

Live within your means…do work to make a contribution…let pay sustain you, not drive you.

Invest early and consistently between 20-30 years old.

Go the extra inch tradition

Hidden Mickey on Christmas Card
This hidden Mickey is progress. It’s on a Christmas card envelope received yesterday. It comes from a busy CEO. She went the extra inch in a tangible way.

Going the extra inch is a Disney tradition.

Every day.

All day.

Day after day.

Week after week.

Month after month.

Year after year.

For your entire career.

Outsiders, like the people i serve, can not comprehend nor conceptualize how to operationalize it (make it a cultural-wide habit).

The hidden Mickey in the lower right envelope corner is progress.

It was an unexpected and delightful wow-moment.

Insight: It also took nothing but considerate and intentional thought to draw the circles.

Consistently shed

man sitting by mountain lake
Sitting quietly gives you immediate feedback on your life.

Much of what we do is a trap.

What?

Much of what we do is non-essential.

Create margin on your calendar.

Margin is empty-space were nothing is scheduled.

Margin allows you to be present and go where your energy and motivation take you.

Unhurried. Unencumbered.

Always open to discovery, service, and fun.
