Idiot idealists, right?

Love them or hate them, if big dreams didn’t exist, the refrigerator never would have been invented. Or the car. Or books.

That echo that we hear, “Don’t go chasing crazy dreams, you’ll only end up being disappointed.”

Paradoxically, there’s the disappointment of regret.

It’s your call.

Good luck.

Highest and best use of your 401k assets?

Holy Family Orlando Catholic Church
Many neglect their fiscal responsibilities. The time to worry about your future is when you don’t need to.

Meeting with Wells Fargo this morning to discuss rolling over the Disney 401k, managed by Fidelity Investments.

Fidelity would like it to keep it in the family – rollover the corporate 401k into a different Fidelity investment opportunity. This would eliminate any (albeit remote) possibility of a “claw back‘.

While claw backs are highly unlikely with a company like Disney, there are no guarantees.

There have been real life examples where companies have collapsed (remember Enron) and 401k nest eggs destroyed.

Will be returning to Disney Institute full time in May.

It was painful to leave Disney last Halloween.

But something bigger needed attention.

Now, after a six month absence, we have agreed to return to Disney Institute as CIO, Chief Inspiration Officer.

Crazy, right?

Sorry, April Fools.

We set the call for 9:40am. He wanted to see if a former Disney Institute Professional Speaker might be a right fit for his client.

The run became extended – much longer than expected, so the call was placed from Disney’s Magic Kingdom Cast Member parking lot.

Seriously. Just standing in a parking lot, negotiating….

His client owns, as he states, “The Country’s most profitable Casino“, in Syracuse, New York.

After the call, walked over to Disney University for a drink of water and then began the three mile walk home.

The lie of the year

Midlife Celebration, the book in Halifax
One day this phrase will be a household name around the world – Mid Life Celebration

 

Whatever it takes.

The lie of the year is telling ourselves we’ll do whatever it takes. But that lasts about one or two days and then we’re back to our usual selves.

The challenge of doing whatever it takes?

The real challenge is actually finding something worth doing – and then doing whatever it takes.
