Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.

Not in the past 30 years did Cheryl and i have lunch together. Countless dinners at Disney, but never lunch. Why? The pace is fast at Disney. Outsiders have no idea.
We also did not have lunch together a few days ago after the first paying, post Disney speaking gig.

In hindsight, i could have brought lunch into her office.
Live and learn.

A graduating MBA student asked for advice because she is encountering one dead end after another.
But she’s smart because she realizes there are many other candidates with MBA’s.
An MBA doesn’t open the door for someone to come waltzing in.
Not fair is it?
Another option is to actually start your own business and administer it. A self-made MBA.
Nothing like the real thing to put things in perspective.
