The career goal isn’t

Disney Cast Member creating sidewalk chalk art
Front-line, hourly Epcot employee taking initiative to contribute more than he’s paid to do. Simple, powerful. Delightful for every Guest who walks by, which can literally be tens of thousands.

The goal of business isn’t business, it’s contribution.

Aim for perfection

Walt wanted the birds to breath as they sang. He wanted their lungs to inflate and deflate.

Walt Disney’s greatest artistic legacy is his fanatical attention to detail.

Flabby work

Red, black and yellow. The colors of lifetime devotion to career. Careful what you wish for.

Career muscles get flabby with disuse.

Mastery special ingredient

Mickey Mouse head paper art
A lifetime learning, doing, and teaching the Disney Way. Disney Mastery.

Mastery, or perceived mastery, only comes from being intentional where others are less unintentional or oblivious.

They won’t do it

Magic Kingdom before it opens
In business and personally, do not expect people to change. The best you can hope for is that the structure and processes you build to run things doesn’t depend on others to change. This is a general stereotype and there are rare exceptions that require a hard stance. But that’s for another day.

Never expect people to change. The best you can do is to let your life be the data.
