Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Funny how a kind word has the power to motivate.
The 61-year old Gold’s Gym personal trainer (Charles) came over and shared just one small piece of positive feedback. It was so insignificant small, yet so powerfully motivating.
There is no greater wisdom than kindness.
Say nice things to people. They rarely hear nice things about themselves.

This may be hard to believe, but it doesn’t need to be.
The book, Mid life Celebration, has changed people’s lives. It’s short, pithy and can either be a tender loving hug, or a kick in the as$. Not too many humans that don’t need both. The first few pages are free on Amazon. Not trying to sell you a book.
It was written as a life guide for a little boy in case something bad ever happened to his dad. Can’t get more direct nor more lovingly authentic than that.
Intentionally left out the link to Amazon. You get why, right?

Mostly it’s time consuming.
This is why we need a powerful, clear, concise, and compelling vision of where we are taking our life.
Otherwise the horizon will never look any closer.

Bold question.
Kind too.
Has the reality of your daily life sunk in?
Filled with hope?
Prepared to work incredibly hard?
Yesterday was a bit closer to feeling it here. See photo above.
Today is the last day of the first month of retirement.
The only way to get to this point was to dream, do, dream, do, dream, do…
And along the way, constantly overcome failure, doubt, and fear.
The goal to retire at 55 was made six years in advance.
The goal to carve out a career at Disney was made at the tender age of 25.
It was 30 years to pay off a mortgage and reach the pinnacle of an incredible career.
It was a five day drive from Pullman, Washington to Orlando, Florida in 1984.
And before loading up the car for good, a risk had to be taken.
