Doing the right thing is not emphasized

Doing the right thing is not emphasized in the media, nor in our human circles, and not in our habits.

Why?

Because people have discovered that it takes too long to develop better habits and that the payoff is not quick enough for our weak human condition.

So we cave to conformity and the status quo.

Our spirit is willing but our body is weak.

Hey, if everyone is doing it…

Insidiously deadly.

Personal vibrancy never stands a chance.

Unless, or until…

Focus and discipline are the only tools to conquer mediocre habits and rituals.

Denying (or ignoring) this doesn’t make it untrue.

Whom do you trust?

You should be your own best friend. Love yourself.

Whom do you trust?

Trick question.

Correct answer is, “Myself.”

Think about it and work diligently to make this your reality.

From six decades of personal experience, this is more challenging than it seems. 

Focus on it and your life transforms into balanced excellence and personal vibrancy.

Win the morning, win the day

Disney Speaker
Transformation.

 

Disney Speaker
Transformation. Same definition, different angle.

 

If you get a personal victory in the morning, you win the day.

Morning people succeed because they get one in the win column early. They take care of themselves first – so they can take care of others.

You know how it works with a commercial airline oxygen mask, right?

Exact same concept here.

Three critical questions to put up or shut up

Orlando Innovation Keynote Speaker
Write it down. Publish it even.

 

What attitude do you want to live with?

Why do you want live with that attitude?

What are you prepared to do to live like that?

Brand You: Tell your personal story

Great reminder about staying focused on the basics.

 

 

(Above) Brand You: Tell your personal story.

Great reminder.

The year was 2008 or 2009.

Our new Disney Institute Vice President, Jeff James, often walked past the cube i shared with Jack Santiago.

By the way, because office space was so limited, nearly everyone at Disney Institute shared a cube.

On one brief encounter, i invited Jeff into my cube and used Jack’s bookshelf (all my business books were at my home office) as the center of the vision i had for Disney Institute.

i said to Jeff, “Jeff, in the children’s video genre, what is the average household percentage of Disney videos in every children’s category?”

Our educated guess – from personal experience – is the percentage is overwhelmingly high for Disney videos.

Then i asked, pointing at Jack’s bookshelves, “What if every business leader across the globe had an overwhelmingly high percentage of Disney Institute business books on their office bookshelves?”

Currently, Be Our Guest is the only published “Disney Institute” business book.

My Summer 2018 focus is to get the next seven Disney and Disney Institute business books written, then published.

The business world is waiting, even if they are unaware these books are coming.

And this morning, i’m just days away from the first of six Summer writing retreats. All seven books are currently in the two-thirds done stage.
