What’s your benchmark?

Funny meme
This is wild.

Mediocrity is the ‘business wild’. Excellence is business civilization.

Imagine Martin Luther King discussing the two choices for his famous speech:

I have a dream!

I have a strategic plan!

It’s been a busier than usual start to the year, business-wise. Getting back to pre-pandemic karma.

Who will push you if you don’t push yourself? And how will you know when enough is enough?

dad

Honing in on what only you can do is step one.

Step two is convincing others to do the stuff you’re gonna be asking them to do because they can do it instead of you. The second part of this is to eliminate some things you used to do that no one needs to do.

And the first two steps assume you have come to world-class motivation to change.

You must change before the others.

The others must then replicate the leadership pattern so that leaders are revealed and managers are confirmed.

Managers should not be leaders.

Leaders should not be managers.

Which do you consider yourself?

Which do you want to be?

Please fail willingly

If you are not willing to fail, you can never be creative.

dad

If you can’t be creative, you will crumble under the weight of life’s continuous challenges.

Creativity is your only hope for survival.

Innovation is your only hope for thriving.

Yesterday was a great day, at work

Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel
As a Disney Keynote Speaker, i help ‘outsiders’ .think .differently about everything. The Disney Way is the model. The Disney model is common sense. Most don’t believe this.

Getting your annual income taxes done early is one of life’s coolest feelings.

dad

The goal filing taxes is to be as close to zero as possible.

You don’t owe. You don’t get a refund.

Perfection.

i never knew this growing up.

Why?

No one taught this to me.

Much closer this year than last.

Feels good in an unexpected way.

Risk begets risk

LinkedIn post
Took ‘outsiders’ on this ramp for a tour and presentation with a Casting leader countless times. Was in the Casting Building before it opened (1989, btw) to help Cheryl transfer her Casting office from the DISC Building trailers to this amazing brand new Disney asset right next to I-4.

Culture is by design or by default. It ain’t more complicated than that.

dad

When i birthed Disney Institute’s nomenclature ‘so what?’, it was on the return from a Casting Center visit.

It’s a story for another time. Why? Today’s mental, creative, and energy bandwidth.
