Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Impossible is for amateurs.
Impossible is nothing.
If you’re goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.
People will call you crazy. Get used to it.
People will tell you it can’t be done. Get used to it.
You’ll want to quit chasing your crazy, impossible goals. Don’t get used to it.
The real job, the ultimate goal, of a small business entrepreneur, is to ship.
Ever look back on your life and wonder how you got where you are today?
Do you come from humble beginnings and are self-made? Or, do you come from an established bloodline where wealth is already part of your DNA?
Recently, I overheard my wife and son (9) having a conversation about before he was born and what life was like before we had him, and even before we lived in our current home (18 years now).
Cheryl was explaining how, in our first “starter” home, we didn’t have any furniture and slept on the floor in sleeping bags for a year. We had one car and lived 30 miles from Disney, where we worked as brand new Cast Members in 1984.
Guess who got the car?

Most of us are searching for the meaning of life, some higher purpose. A greater purpose than simply making a lot of money. Victor Frankl, famous Holocaust survivor, speaks passionately about treating others as they can become, not as they presently are:
We all have blind spots. You know, stuff everyone else can easily see about us that we are clueless to.
As a professional speaker, the classic example is the keynote speaker who says, “Um” so many times in their speech that you start counting, just to see what a ridiculously high number it will be.
Last night, a consultant I’ve been traveling with said, “You know what I’ve noticed about you? You’ll talk to anyone.”
Blind spots are almost always stereotyped as negative. Guess that’s a big blind spot for all of us.
