Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Walt Disney sometimes said his brother, the Postman, was the smartest Disney because he didn’t have to worry about all the things a business owner needs to worry about (hiring, firing, payroll, deals, etc).
A simple life?
Does it pay the bills?
Do we keep our bills in check?
Do we know how (our) children spell Love?
T-i-m-e.

Yesterday someone said (in an apparently concerned sort of way) their work department was very much like an entrepreneurial startup (like the dot com boom stereotypes), even though the company is nearly 90 years old.
Afterwards it occurred to me… That’s the underlying reason the company is nearly 90 years old.

Balance can ruin a career, and it can save a career.
I heard a story about Walt Disney’s wife, secretary and even his physician, all saying, “Walt, you need to get a hobby or you’ll work yourself into an early grave.”
Having the distraction of a hobby can actually make you sharper, more focused, more creative, more observant.
And if your hobby not only fuels your passion, but also teaches you more than you could have ever imagined, imagine that!
People who study Walt Disney’s life know that he was labeled by many as crazy. And that he insisted on nothing short of perfection. Always aim for perfection he’d say, and settle for excellence.
This is how life works. We face countless challenges. People may call us crazy, demanding.
They may also call us passionate, purposeful, visionary.
A real, work life saver.
What turbulent economic times we live in.
Think you’ve got challenges now.
Imagine having no imagination.
Imagine banking on status quo.
Lance Armstrong and the Tour de France. Is there anyone out there who doesn’t know what Lance Armstrong has done for bicycling, what he has done for Cancer patients, or what he has done for the pursuit of excellence, in anything, not just bicycling?
Walt Disney said, “Aim for perfection, settle for excellence”.
Two nights ago, leaving the Mall, this picture of Lance Armstrong was in a storefront window, Sunglass Hut, I think. Anyway, it captured a thought in my grey matter and I wondered if chasing perfection matters at all. Or does it only matter to the game-changers? Whaddaya think?
