Wildcard day, spirit

Tree slowly overtaking chain link fence — Growth so slow, no one notices.

What’s a blogging challenge few, if any, know about?

The cost from having ten WordPress websites.

quote about petting every dog — Life goals i think it’s called. Not my goal but it sure made me smile. This was from my wife’s cousin’s first community yard sale. It was another person’s table.

We’ve had three yellow Labrador Retrievers in our life.

My goal was, and remains, to become the kind of person our three Labs thought i was. – dad

Blogging memories day 7, spirit

Disney Institute Team in Detroit 2011 — Stumbled upon the 2011 photo from a Disney Institute engagement in Detroit. Development can be as simple as encouraging others to have fun.

What are some of your earliest blogging memories?

In addition to fostering my personal peace, i have fond, powerful memories of:

Igniting personal creativity.

Captaining my own ship.

Making decisions with a small-business owner mindset.

Also have memories of colleagues doing the traditional MBA studies to ‘elevate’ their business acumen.

And i recall thinking, my self-directed MBA won’t deliver a paper-diploma.

However, it will deliver a remarkably more valuable diploma.

A diploma called a small, profit-producing business that can do nothing but become more profitable.

Everyone’s gotta eat and pay rent.

Blogging memories day 6, spirit

Business traveler wallet — Flashback on my last year (2014) at Disney Institute. No longer use coffee or a WDW Corporate Credit Card.

What are some of your earliest blogging memories?

One of the earliest and most important…

What will you write about?

Had an idea to write about balance. i had struggled with it for four decades and finally had revelations on a common-sense recipe and a paradoxical success measurement metric.

Blogging memories day 5, spirit

Disney Customer Service Advisor — Colorado State University during my final Summer (2014) as a Disney Institute Keynote Speaker.

What are some of your earliest blogging memories?

My Plan B to write a book was to have a Keynote Speaker “Business card”.

You can picture audiences sorta saying, “Oh, our keynote speaker is a published author.”

Sounds impressive.

Seemed like a reasonable tactic.

And since i was 25 years into my full-time Disney career, and a small-business building amateur, i was super busy and super ignorant.

Yeah, fun, early memories.
