Disney Institute origin story (become irrationally excellent)

Leadership observations — The CEO made some observations from our dinner outing (International Drive and the Orlando Eye) the night before.

Become irrationally excellent…i can picture Walt Disney epitomizing this notion.

And from that i give myself permission (having worked at Disney for over 30 years) to be irrational too.

Disney Institute’s history and origin story as told by Jim Korkis.

You have no responsibility to conform to expectations

Glacier Park — One of the opportunities for “bad weather” is you have the place almost to yourself.

I have no responsibility to live up to what others expect of me. That’s their mistake, not my failing. – Richard Feynman

As an entrepreneur, you make the rules.

This is how it must be.

Seriously, why would you follow someone else’s map for your journey – and this assumes you are going somewhere no one has been before.

To discover new (better) ways to do what’s always been done, you need to do it differently.

And this is exactly what fuels your passion.

This means new thinking, new rules, new everything, new results.

Pretty cool, huh?

Fer sure.

Well done.

The freedom an entrepreneurial lifestyle brings

Howe ridge fire — It’s doubled since this photo a few days ago. Note the expected containment date, 2.5 months from now.

The freedom an entrepreneurial lifestyle brings is the payoff for the never-guaranteed success that only comes from taking the risk to do something that may not work.

But what actually makes it work is refusing to fail – in essence, refusing to quit.

You have to have a “burn-the-ships” passion.

Win or die.

Not becoming an entrepreneur leads to stress…

Stress is caused by the imbalance between effort and results.

We all want freedom, especially after we have spent decades in our careers, but few of us are willing to risk the effort required to get the results we dream of.

This is extremely contagious

This is extremely contagious.

What?

Enthusiasm.

Careful though.

The second most contagious thing in the world is the lack of enthusiasm.
