How you do anything, work

Disney Institute Keynote Speakers
Old Disney Institute business card, circa 1999. Never dreamed, let alone thought about, being a public speaker. Ever. Hard stop. Since 1999 i’ve spoken to 1.25 million people. How is that possible?

How you see work (career) problems, work (career) challenges, work (career) opportunities, is how you see everything.

Does this matter?

Is it important?

Yes and yes.

How you see everything (with your career) is how you do everything.

How you see anything, work

A rare backstage look at how i begin to prepare for a speech…in this case, more than four months in advance.

Creativity.

Innovation.

They seem the same.

Yet they’re dramatically different.

Creativity is simply the generation of useful ideas in any domain.

Innovation is implementation.

The critical difference between creativity and innovation is that innovation demands changing or creating something that wasn’t possible before you did the work associated with a creative idea.

Ideas without implementation are simply ideas

Ideas without effort, worthless.

i’m giving you money, work

The Hardest Working Have A Blog
Who do i blog for? The person in my mirror, and my family.

i’m giving you money.

Got it?

i’m giving you money.

You get the money, the currency, and invest it consistently, a little every day.

Over time, a tiny acorn becomes a mighty oak.

What you got?, work

I love my blog pins
There is a story about how writing five daily, differently-themed blogs was simply a 100-day self-imposed writer’s bootcamp so i could get writing experience before attempting to write my first book.

What you got?

This is me every morning, since April Fools Day, 2009.

What did you learn yesterday?

What do you get to do today?

What do you hope for tomorrow?

Everyday since April Fools Day, 2009.

Never missing a day.

Ever.

Why? (good question, eh)

You live in Florida, work

Typical driveway view returning home from a speaking gig, some years ago.

Palm trees and sunshine.

Cons?

Heat, sun, humidity.

Any antidotes?

Yes…

AC, shade, and swimming pools.
