Walt Listened To The Critics, But Not For Long

There's only one company that invests in trash cans like this.

The other day we visited Disney’s Magic Kingdom. Made a point to teach my son why everyone but Walt Disney thought a trash can like this was crazy (dumb).

It’s not uncommon for me to end a post, like this one, without any further dialogue, tip or closure.

PS. Yesterday an idea popped into my head while walking to dinner in Montgomery, AL…I’m the Grateful Dead of blogging….

Walt Disney, An American Original And My Business Hero

An expert is someone who really knows their stuff - how things work and why.
Even the most obscure, practically unnoticed things - how and why.

Walt Disney is my American business hero. I know his life pretty well, especially his business philosophies. Some (like me) call him the father of modern-day business creativity and innovation. What many don’t comprehend is just how crazy his ideas were at the time he was thinking them up and rolling them out.

Everyone Says You’re Doing It Wrong

There's electricity in the air is such an understatement.

This blogging experiment I’m currently conducting (90-days ahead), plus all the mistakes I’ve made, and a few successes – it all has me very excited about blogging.

I don’t need to be excited to blog everyday. You get that right? (if you’re new here, I blog, a lot…)

So, to hear myself say I’m even more excited, well, that’s saying something! Hope you’re having (or just did or are about to) a similarly amazing burst of passion and commitment.

How Often Do You Question Authority?

Do something great.

Human nature to question authority. Complaining, questioning, doubting – all part of the frail human condition known simply as being a social creature – birds of a feather flock together. Ya with me?

So why then, do we not question ourselves with the same intensity? Same consistency? Same ruthlessness?

Honestly, I do. Just not sure I pay attention long enough to get a great answer.
