Do what you love, mileage may vary

Church volunteer sign in sheet
When i signed in on volunteer sign in sheet 24 hours ago, i had no idea of the carnage. It’s my smiley face with Mickey Mouse Ears hat.

 

Do what you love, mileage may vary.

Getting so close to a breakthrough i can taste it.

Ups and downs.

Highs and lows.

Certainty, then uncertainty.

Lucky breaks, then setbacks, and vice versa.

It’s that notion that few get to see with their own eyes. The notion of getting up one more time after you’ve fallen.

It’s hard to be beat someone who refuses to quit.

PS. The focus is my growing business, but in reality, this is also a metaphor for America picking itself back up after yesterday.

Doing what you love is only for these people

Doing what you love is only for these ‘special” people.

“Those lucky people” are the only ones who understand that doing what you love is the only way to be rich.

Anything less than that is less than that.

Working hard to not work so hard

The Disney Way keynote speaker
Lower right box represents our (job) contribution to society, for which society pays us money.

 

Working hard to not work so hard. i cannot recall the last time i didn’t work seven days a week. It may have been 1998, the year before i joined Disney Institute. When i became a “teacher’ of the Disney Way to executives and staff at the world’s most admired companies, something inexplicable happened.

i discovered that i was born to teach.

And learning how to become a great teacher has never felt like work.

The good lie is a skeptic’s best friend

The good lie is the skeptic’s best friend because a lie worth telling is the supreme demonstration of love. Watched The Good Lie yesterday on an iPhone during the flight from Disneyland to Walt Disney World. An inspiring story of tragedy and hope.

 

 

Love and leadership have no place in the West’s dog-eat-dog business world.

That’s what we’ve come to believe.

Focus on business results. Increase shareholder value.

What if we’re wrong?

What if love is the ticket to organizational growth?
