Let the morning bring abundance

Naval podcast Tim ferris
Listened (pick episode 136) while walking to and from the gym yesterday.

 

Sanibel weather
Today is Thursday.

 

Writing every day is such a fine way to center my thoughts on Thanksgiving.

Giving thanks.

To start a day without this would feel like a punishment – an undeserved imprisonment.

This post has the link to the Tim Ferris Podcast with Naval. It’s 50+ minutes. One of the most intriguing podcasts i’ve ever heard.

If i were you, i’d do myself a favor (go to episode #136) .

PS. This morning’s sunrise was inspiring.

Writing advice 101

Disney Leadership Speaker
Case in point, Peter Drucker, thank you.

The goal of the sentence you’re reading is to get you to want to read the next sentence.

 

On a recent call with an aspiring future Disney Cast Member – who lives in New England – i was disenchanted by the sheer size and quantity of her cover-letter paragraphs.

i didn’t want to read her cover letter (i promised i would) because it looked so typical.

And boring.

Mind-numbing, really.

A week later, i finally mustered the patience and energy to tackle it.

Ugh.

My summary…

“I’ve loved Disney since I was a child.”

“My first trip to Disney, etc, etc.”

“I truly admire the Disney way.”

“I’ve always wanted to work for Disney.”

Typical.

Predictable.

Plain vanilla.

She took the feedback well yesterday.

Perfect.

It’s time to give them wings

Lake McDonald
Southern shore of Lake McDonald in Apgar Village.

 

As much as we know and understand how fear holds us back and as many times as we’ve triumphed over fear, we still find ourselves being held back – mostly subconsciously.

i recognize this in myself.

These seven Disney Business Books.

It’s time to give them wings.

Glacier National Park, thank you for being a childhood friend since 1973.

i know you are waiting patiently.

Together, let’s create some 2018 Summer writing Magic.
