Walt Disney & Roy Disney

Walt Disney and Roy Disney.  What a combination.  One of the key things that made them a great team was their differences.

Walt, in my opinion, was the modern-day father of creativity.   Roy, well, perhaps a financial genius. And both were very hard workers.

I think I met their reincarnations last night, on Sanibel Island.

I’ll call them Vince and Dirk.

Two men, both entrepreneurs, formed a small business partnership, and shared with me their incredible vision for their future.

What I love about Vince and Dirk is they represent, to me, seasoned business professionals who are capitalizing on these turbulent times, using technology and creativity, to position themselves for growth.

One watches every penny.  One uses enthusiasm to spawn creativity.  Both hustle and work incredibly hard.

I got excited just listening to their story.

If you told your story to a complete stranger, do you think that stranger would get excited about what you’ve done and what you are about to do?

I sure hope so.  Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂

The Magic Kingdom Goes to SHRM

Good Tuesday morning everyone.  I didn’t think the alarm clock was ever going to go off this morning.

I’ve always been a morning person.   Seriously.  When I was younger, I used to stay up for it.  Now, I wake up for it.  Funny how life comes full-circle.

Anyway, here’s a nice post on Disney Institute entitled, The Magic Kingdom goes to SHRM.

It’s written by The Red Recruiter.  Once again, Google Alerts sent me an email link.

As a bonus, I’m providing to you the link to The Red Recruiter’s post on the keynote speaker, Jack Welch.

Jack spoke about, among other things, control, trust and the future.

While you’re dreaming about the future, please don’t forget about today.  Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂

Thank goodness it’s Monday.  I can’t wait to get started.  Seriously.

The privilege to work, sure beats the alternative.  At least that’s what I think.

I also think the people and organizations that will be ahead of the pack when these turbulent times turn around, will be the ones who are making plans, right now, to be the leader.

Make it a GREAT Monday, because if you don’t, who will.  If not today, when?  Carpe diem, jungle jeff 🙂
