How big can you dream, at work

Eric exceeded our expectations yesterday.

How big are your crazy career dreams?

Perhaps your purpose in life is to create a category that doesn’t exist.

To be a category of one.

It will likely take a lifetime.

It will never be guaranteed.

It will be hard and frustrating and scary much of the time.

It will bring you joy and peace and contentment beyond measure.

You will never regret finding your special and unique place in our world.

Here multiple times each month. i love my hometown.

My first day at Walt Disney World in 1982 was at Disney University. So were my second and third days.

dad

Walt Disney World Cast Member “orientation” is a one-day process at DU.

In 1982 when i started, it was a three-day process at DU.

There are still multiple days to the orientation process, which after Day One is generally continued at the Cast Members respective “home”, aka work location.

Some favorite questions:

If you didn’t have to work, what would you be doing?

What are you working on now?

Why do you and your company exist?

If you don’t push

16-second video: Last night after an early evening stroll.

Who is qualified to push you more than you?

dad

You are in charge.

Push yourself like your life depends on it.

From my 60+ years here, it does.

The left cucumber arm has been moved to mirror Akira. He’s “just a cook”. Or, maybe, he’s an artist who loves to surprise and delight. Is this his purpose? Only Akira knows.

The greatest career luxury is loving what you do, having fun doing it, and mastering your life’s purpose artfully.

dad

Career vibrancy requires a pro-level growth mindset which insists you have the highest work expectations for yourself. You are committed to only seeing possibility and opportunity.

Vision, purpose, contribution, art, joy, commitment. Fun.
