It’s time to rename brand loyalty

Disney Stock at all time high
Yesterday Disney stock closed at over $100

 

What has historically been the best long-term investment strategy?

Brand Love. Not brand loyalty. When customers and the economy support a brand, it is reflected in the stock price. Companies that thrive, long-term, behave admirably and offer the world something it can’t get enough of.

This can also be applied to your personal brand at work, at home, and in your community.

Spring Fever? Top of the World?

Today’s photos taken from the top of the world at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Notice what’s on the chimney? (Photo: Epcot, near Germany)

 

For several decades Disney’s California Grill was called ‘Top of the World‘.

Today’s blog photo’s were taken on a rare, overcast day just down the street from our home, from the top of Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

And today is the first day of Spring 2014 (as this post is written).

Today is also the first day of a month long vacation (as this goes live June 28).

Writing 100 days ahead offers the security of never revealing when work is done from home or when it’s from out of town.

Think about how quietly important that is and why.

Makes the advance writing seem much more reasonable.

Claiming to be an early adopter means you have to be one

Same iPhone5, but after the IOS7 install…

 

IOS7 installed
IOS 7 makes the old 5 look like a new iPhone5

 

Claiming to be an early adopter means you have to be one. And therein lies the real reason to spend money to upgrade to the new iPhone 5s while still under contract. Call it a luxury tax. You must pay the price.

We also pay a luxury tax on the time investment for exercising. There is very little time for watching TV.

The prayer is for those among us who hate their job

Fortune article on technology disruptions
You are the CEO of You, Inc, and in charge of appropriate disruptions to change things

 

This blog is about our career. Our job. Our money maker.

But today everyone is being held up in a special prayer.

The prayer is for those in the world who hate their job, their boss, or anything else upon waking up.

Will you promise to begin to find a way out?

We pray for that.
