A typical Lake Buena Vista Hilton meeting room. i’ve delivered keynote speeches here many times.

 

Changed? Really?

That’s what i asked, and she said, “Yes”.

We have been in negotiations for over a year. The CEO tapped her to keep it alive a few months ago after he wasn’t able to personally continue with it.

Just from our conversations (which i hadn’t realized were impactful to her), she was influenced to change some key behaviors. And her changes have been incredibly beneficial to her relationships with the eight member executive council, including her CEO.

Insight: You never know the power of a positive ripple effect.

We see what we want to see. Patience is a virtue that we will never believe in if we aren’t willing to have faith in our integrity and expertise.

Three days ago signed a three-day engagement contract with a local client.

Last night another client got the green light from their Board to engage in an external business advisor (possibly me).

Out of the blue yesterday, a third client reached out to continue discussion about engaging my Disney expertise.

Also yesterday, the person recommended to me to help market and support Community Programs across the US and Canada accepted the invitation to collaborate.

Spoke at length, again, two days ago to the Pod Caster running Lee Cockerell’s Creating Magic podcast. Lee made the recommendation to me.

And this morning at 7:00am, we drive our son to his first day of High School freshman year.

Knowing how easy it is to forget is a great way not to

The pressure is always on to get great business results.

 

Sending the invoice and W-9 to the second client this morning. Signed the contract three days ago on Friday the 13th. There are many small, seemingly insignificant milestones in an entrepreneur’s journey.

Because there are so many, it’s easy to discount the value and importance of each one individually.

Knowing how easy it is to forget is a great way not to.

Would you gamble on this?

orlando Professional Speakers

 

(photo: You can cover a fair piece of ground in 80 minutes.)

We set the call for 9:40am. He wanted to see if a former Disney Institute Professional Speaker might be a right fit for his client.

The run became extended – much longer than expected, so the call was placed from Disney’s Magic Kingdom Cast Member parking lot.

Seriously. Just standing in a parking lot, negotiating….

His client owns, as he states, “The Country’s most profitable Casino“, in Syracuse, New York.

After the call, walked over to Disney University for a drink of water and then began the three mile walk home.
