Why life’s boring basics are key to any success. Let’s call them out:

  • Consistency
  • Time

Effort, done consistently over a long period of time does what?

It produces results that are never achievable otherwise.

Inconsistency and impatience are status quo. The power of the pessimistic Herd hypnotizes us, poisons us, numbs us.

Dreaming big and making slow and steady progress has the same influential ability wind and water have on rock, over time.

The boring basics.

Invest heavily.

Put all your eggs in one basket.

Do we overmanage daily details that others either undermanage or ignore?

Do we?

Are we being intentional where others are unintentional?

Are we?

He replied, “Not going to be talking about Disney. Going to be talking about my career, and life. You know, lessons learned, wisdom gained, joyful and painful experiences, people, challenges, triumphs, etc. Coincidently, the past 30 years have been spent at Disney.”
