These two matter

Looking forward to the 27th summit this Summer. Context: this photo is taken from 8,200′ on my favorite and most accessible summit.

Only two people you need to feel proud of you.

Your seven-year old self and your 70-year old self.

Is there a place for arrogance in business?

Unofficial books about Disney Business practices

 

(photo: Dennis Snow is a very special person. A Disney expert. A successful small business owner. A former colleague. A friend.)

Arrogance means pride. It also means conceit.

  1. Proud.
  2. Conceited.

Proud and conceited, though related, are two very different things. Pride stems from a feeing of gratitude, joy, contribution, expertise. Conceit stems from being excessively proud, and vain.

Dennis truly is a Disney expert (and very proud grandfather) who is grateful and joyful in making a significant contribution.

So anyone claiming to be expert will be thought of in one of two ways: credible or arrogant.

This is a scary proposition for a newbie (with 30 years of Disney experience) in this “self-employed Disney space”.
