If 10 people start

stromatolites
A billion years old+-.

If 10 people start their own business do you know how many will still be in business a decade later?

Maybe half.

Not half as in 50%.

Half as in half a person.

Five point zero percent (5.0%).

Not quite one in ten make it.

Roughly three to five percent make it.

Ten % (10%) would equal one person, remember the math here?

Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker jeff noel
If your goal isn’t impossible, you are not reaching high enough. A second thank you to Ty Boyce.
Jeff noel quote about culture
Every organization has a culture – either by design or by default.

What do habits bring you?

Simple.

Intentional, over-focused habits bring vibrancy.

Unintentional, under-focused habits bring the opposite of vibrancy.

Simple is as simple does.

Habit, and culture, is what you think and do, without thinking.

Organizational habits.

Personal habits.

By design or by default.

Learn to over-focus on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore.

Two thumbs up from Walt

Great Disney Institute Keynote speakers
Envisioning Walt over there, giving two thumbs up. If you don’t know, two thumbs up is the highest compliment Walt bestowed to others as he walked the Park.

The opportunity to put Disney on my resume first appeared in 1981. At that time, was a fifth-year senior. The Walt Disney World College Program came to West Chester University on a recruiting trip. Serendipitously became aware of their presentation, attended, and signed up for an interview. With no idea what i wanted to be when i grew up, instinctively felt “Disney” on the resume would be a competitive advantage for some future entry-level job somewhere in the USA.

Two months later, an acceptance letter arrived.

Note: January 25, 1982 is official hire date. In 1982, Magic Kingdom College Program (MKCP) preceded the Walt Disney World College Program.

Happy Holidays

Christmas decorations at store display
The spirit of Christmas for retailers? Sell more stuff, to more people, more often.

Happy Holidays.

November 10, 2021.

There will come a calendar day when you won’t see the sunrise.

Meanwhile, because you saw this morning’s sunrise, celebrate.

Make today whatever holiday you want.

It’s not lost on me that this is our harvest time and that we (me and Cheryl) have more discretionary time now than since we were kids.

And we have wisdom and knowledge that is peaking – and will continue to peak as we age.

We are far from being immune from the hell(s) of life.

Yet we press on ever grateful for today’s Holiday.

A private Mickey Mouse meet and greet is an incredible experience. Magical. Even for a room full of Disney Cast Members.

How?

Why?

Not sure.

Luck?

Probably.
