Doing what you love is only for these people

Doing what you love is only for these ‘special” people.

“Those lucky people” are the only ones who understand that doing what you love is the only way to be rich.

Anything less than that is less than that.

Magic is chaotic to produce

Last night on ABC television the Disneyland Diamond Jubilee Special.

 

i’ve been saying this since i first became a Disney Institute Speaker and Business Advisor in 1999:

“At Disney, it’s chaos 24/7.”

The Magic is that we hide what it takes so you believe it’s actually Magic.

It comes down to this:

Disney’s success centers on over-focusing on the same things others under-focus on or ignore. Disney is intentional where others are unintentional.

Too tired to work?

Nope.

Work is only work if you’d rather be doing something else.

Actually worked harder than normal in Memphis.

Thought it was possible to run to Arkansas, but it is not.

Thank goodness for life’s sucker punches

Thank goodness for life’s sucker punches.

It was 2008-2009 at Walt Disney World and a new round of layoffs was in progress.

This time, the first time in my 24 years at Disney, it didn’t make sense.

It didn’t make sense for many people, including me. The bottomline was this: i felt vulnerable, and i had never experienced that before.

i hated it.

But then i embraced it.

It was in finding the silver lining that i was able to thrive.

And i decided the best time to create a plan b was when i didn’t need to.

That’s how my business, and early Disney retirement (after 30 incredible years) idea was born.
