It’s not a business until…

People are recommending you.

Goodman Speakers Bureau called yesterday wanting to know my availability in May for an Orlando engagement. They have a client wanting a Disney Keynote Speaker. Their client wants me to hold a Tuesday and a Friday, until they decide if they want an opening or closing keynote.

It ain’t over until it’s over. Hopeful this leads to a signed contract, but cognizant there’s no guarantee.

Reliable career mediocrity.

Where you work determines the DNA of your business approach.

Mediocre gets as mediocre does. Excellence gets as excellence does.

An odd number of light bulb sockets presented a problem challenge for Disneyland. A creative Cast Member tried a remarkably inexpensive and creative idea. It worked.

You see it right?

Catalytic keynote speaker.

Visited SunTrust first, Magic Kingdom second

What does a small business entrepreneur who’s worked for over six years with no revenue do after experiencing a catalytic career milestone?

Think Super Bowl ending cliche…

“I’m going to Disney World!”

First stop, the original Walt Disney World Corporate Headquarters before Team Disney was opened in 1991, to thank his wife for her support. Then on to Disney’s Magic Kingdom Theme Park (clock tower shows 12:20pm) for a perfectly timed viewing of the Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade and lunch at Columbia Harbour House.

Next stop a trip where it all began on January 25, 1982. And on the walk to Adventureland, a nice chat with a Walt Disney World Research Cast Member.

On the walk out, a chance meeting with the Mayor, who’s campaign slogan is “Pull the lever, vote for Weaver.”
