The final sentence is an example of vision

 

If you watch this video, listen carefully to the final sentence – it’s a brilliant example of vision.

What you can’t appreciate about Disney if you never worked on the inside, is that she doesn’t even know she did what she did.

She just did it.

Why?

Because it’s the Disney culture to think like that, without even thinking about it.

A simple and compelling analogy

Yesterday for lunch, homemade guacamole.

 

Literally everyone i meet struggles to offer clear, concise, and compelling answers to the most important questions facing their business.

My analogy is simple: business health and personal health are the same.

Business health and personal health are the same things.

How many Americans, including you, make your health a daily focus?

Why?

When you least expect it

College admissions presentation
Last night at the College Admissions presentation. All four panelists are College Admissions Directors. The University of Moscow Director was absent due to a canceled flight.

 

When you least expect it, personal responsibility has a growth spurt.

Last night, i observed many parents taking notes, but only one student.

Every CEO gets to take a stand or waver

Goals quote
Things only become sayings or cliches if they are true. From LinkedIn yesterday.

 

The event planner left a voice message yesterday saying my price was too high for her client, even though i offered two discounts. (one for 100% advance payment, the other for contracting a second, future, engagement simultaneously.

One standard $3,500 discount for 100% advance payment, and another $2,000 for what i creativity labeled “seed discount”; a goodwill gesture anticipating future bookings.

The $2,000 seed discount would be added back into the second contract, so it’s technically not a discount – more like a short-term loan to help them meet short-term budget constraints for the first booking.

i love being able to talk about price integrity with conviction and commitment.

The real client – the event planner’s client – wants an amazing Disney speaker for a half-day leadership engagement for her association’s 27-member statewide board of directors.

She’ll find less expensive options.

i’m a firm believer you get what you pay for.

The payoff for orchestrating our life

Balance expert jeff noel
Four boxes are easy to see. The fifth box is HQ, the one that surrounds the other four.

 

Habits.

Culture is defined by habits.

(Our personal life is defined by habits as well.)

Vibrant or not, our life is a product of how well we orchestrate the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit, work and home.

The secret is to become intentional where you have been less intentional or where you’ve completely ignored something (like flossing or exercise).
