Brand like you mean it

Disney Keynote Speaker
Cleaning files (found this pic), thinking about marketing, and the release of the TEDx Talk.

Sometimes the small business marketing opportunities that are the most compelling to clients who’ve never heard of you are put aside by me because personal marketing and humility seem like opposites.

Every day, do something that scares you.

So like putting yourself out there?

Possibly.

Probably.

Son, remember this during your freshman year. From the very beginning, dream about how you can offer something(s) to the world that it would gladly pay you for.

When you graduate, you’ll be ahead of others who are under-focused on this or ignore this for four important years.

You reap what you sow

Disney Keynote Speaker
A potential Indonesian client is using a consulting company to find a Disney Theme Park speaker. On a video Zoom call, the consultants saw all the Disney “trophies” on the bookcase behind me and suggested i include some photos in the proposal. Included this photo and few others i took yesterday to add in the proposal i sent last night.

You reap what you sow.

You don’t win a Disney Lifetime Achievement Award, the award is bestowed on you. You receive it because the rigorous and anonymous Disney selection criteria and process focuses on behaviors. This is such a big deal that being nominated is considered a high honor.

Once nominated, names are removed and only the Cast Member’s behaviors are shared with the selection committees.

In the photo above, Partners In Excellence was Disney’s original Lifetime Achievement Award. It was retired after 15 years and replaced with the Walt Disney Legacy Award in 2012.
