(This post is me talking to me…reminding myself to take healthy risks and remember that i’m in charge of every decision – and every decision brings potential opportunity.)

There are still many business models that have stood the test of time.

As time passes, they too shall become vulnerable, and then ripe, for reexamination.

Who says when and where and how often you can travel to conduct your entrepreneurial business?

Wouldn’t it seem it’s up to the CEO?

And isn’t creativity the DNA of every great organization?

Saying, and believing it is one thing; however, doing it is for outliers.

One of the most important things you can do as CEO of You, Inc

Neighbors in rural Florida near Disney — Having horses in your neighborhood never gets old. Four Seasons Resort at Disney is straight ahead (but not visible in photo).

One of the most important things you can do as CEO of You, Inc. is be intentional about where you live – you know, where you establish your personal HQ.

Of course this is one of the most challenging assignments you’ll have as CEO, but it’s your responsibility to figure it out and make it happen.

Six years in the making yet last minute details exist

(photo: Please note the location of the retirement party)

If you could have a Disney retirement party, what venue?

While it has been six years in the making, the actual final day has been determined rather quickly. This means logistically, choices have to be made and on short notice, it’s challenging to get your first choice.

However, because of dedicated people who make Magic everyday, the event will be at the first choice location.
