Disney Leadership Keynote Speaker
Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
Are mistakes really gifts in disguise?
Yes.
Success is built upon a foundation of failure.
Mid Life Celebration, and yesterday’s Leadership Keynote speech was fertilized with failure.
The long way is the short cut.

Finalized the logo last night, April 26, 2015.
It was a Sunday night.
Entrepreneurs work while others play or relax.
Thank you Clarissa.
We work when we have to, so we can play and relax when we want to.
We play and relax whenever we want to because our schedule isn’t driven by conventional daily or weekly framework.
There is much to be gained. Much to be lost.
The balance of risk and reward is what makes it tough. And glorious.

Our ability to control our attitude is greater than anyone will ever be able to convince us.
It’s way greater than we have allowed ourselves to believe.
But here’s a little secret.
There is no secret sauce.
There is a sauce, but it ain’t a secret.
Worked at Disney for 30 years. Spent a lifetime learning from the best inside the Disney organization. Spent 15 years at Disney Institute teaching Disney’s business insights to global companies.
Disney’s secret sauce is simple and not a secret. It’s the relentless discipline to always focus on overmanaging things others undermanage or ignore.
Organizational vibrancy is the result of being intentional where others are unintentional.

Hundreds of photos in the past 48 hours. A few from yesterday. Some Disney images will be easy to see, some will not, like in the second photo, an iconic letter.
Spend 30 years as a Disney insider and there isn’t much you don’t know about Disney. And your appreciation for what it takes to create Magic is literally unrivaled.
And yet.
And yet your appreciation for what it takes never dulls nor fades. Like the past few days at every turn. In fact, what’s remarkable is that your appreciation becomes greater because you have a new lens.
The lens of a profitable (for the very first time in seven years) entrepreneur.
