How did Uber become a thing?

Uber choices
Quickly learned you have choices.

 

Uber app map
Delightfully surprised to learn you see where your driver is relative to your location.

 

Uber receipt
Loved the automatic email with receipt.

 

How did Uber become a thing?

The people and the organizations that live out each day “based on possibility” seem to get better when they do one thing others don’t do:

They ask better questions.

My Uber driver shared with me (because i asked a better question) that Uber originally began as a black car (limo-type) service in San Francisco. It was not some grand change-the-world revelation. But it kept evolving.

Daring to venture into uncharted territory happens one small step at a time.

Uber has a history.

It’s a slow and steady history that was written one small, radical-departure-decision-from-status-quo at a time. One “better question” at a time.

Questions based on possibility.

Our two weapons to defend ourselves from fear

Disney Keynote Speaker
Lavalier microphones: the more there are the harder it is to manage. Same with writing seven Disney Business books.

 

The thing about fear and doubt is that we always have two weapons to defend ourselves.

  1. Creativity.
  2. Change.

We make our plans for a future state.

But the future is unknown.

Please take the initiative to launch, learn, revise, repeat.

Try something.

Revise it as necessary.

Relaunch the new change.

Keep repeating until done.

(We are never done.)

Excited to try something i’ve never done before.

My favorite question while teaching at Disney Institute

food chopper
We marvel at what this device does, and how much it costs.

 

My favorite question while teaching at Disney Institute?

So what?

 

Audiences marvel (mostly) at what Disney does and how Disney does it.

Disney Institute facilitators and consultants thrive on their personas, from being at the front of the room, constantly in the spotlight so to speak.

i however, felt it was a tragedy.

People get all hyped up about the what and the how – and all the Magic.

Then they arrive home and have no clue why we do what we do.

So i began antagonizing asking this question:

So what?

So what does any of this mean?

Are you going to build a tunnel under your organization like the Magic Kingdom?

What does it sound like when you change your career?

PBJ sandwich Disney Style
PBJ sandwich Disney Style – spread peanut butter on both slices of bread so the jelly doesn’t make the bread soggy. (jelly waiting to be spread). Have you ever done it this way?

 

What does it sound like when you change your career?

It sounds like fear, doubt, excitement, possibility, and transformation.

It sounds like either freedom or prison.

Sounds like joy or dread.

We live out our days as a visionary or an order taker.

The hour we spoke may change the course of our lives

Entreprenuer life cycle
This is as real and true as it gets. So glad to be fighting this battle.

 

The hour we spoke may will change the course of our lives.

If we sign the contract the way the conversation ended yesterday, it will be the right thing at the right time for both of us.
