Get busy living, work

Disney leadership speaker
Consistently using courage is hard work. Until it isn’t.

Let this one sink in.

Dylan (Bob) said, “He who is not busy being born, is busy dying.”

Spring Break is a time for celebration and relaxation.

Leadership, fear, and courage are siblings.

All three travel side by side, for a lifetime.

Note to self: Invest irrationally in vision, vibrancy, and courage.

Memory a day, work

Memories are a type of currency. Like money.

Money buys you stuff.

Memories buy you stuff.

You invest wisely so you can reap “stuff” from your investment’s (exponential) growth.

The magic of compound interest (and doubling).

Spring break, work

No one saw Covid-19 coming when this happened. Just rumors. No panic. No pandemic talk. One month later the world changed. Glad we got this trip in the books before the panic, uncertainty, and masks.

“Anyone else think like this” is a blog category.

Anyone else think of retirement as a potential “Spring Break” opportunity?

Will my retirement spring break last one month, one year, one decade?

Time will tell.

Disney Service Keynote inquiry

Honeymoon. Puget Sound and Vancouver Island. Early 1980’s. Living the dream.

Disney Service Keynote inquiry, two days ago.

British Columbia.

Mid-November 2026.

You’ve heard me say that if work comes to me and it’s in Orlando and the price is reasonable. i would do it every day.

But this is in British Columbia.

So, this came to me but it’s not in Orlando. Also, the fee is unknown right now.

One out of three won’t work.

That’s a heavy lift travel commitment.

Let’s see what the fee and travel allowance net out to. By the way, this is through a Speakers Bureau.

Ps. It’s in a small town on Vancouver Island. If it works out, it’ll be a trip down memory lane. It’s unlikely it will work out.
