Do what only you can do

i’m the only known person in the world who insists balance is not a myth.

Only you can cast your vision.

Hard stop.

This ain’t rocket surgery.

You and you alone are in charge of how you see your future.

Once upon a time

7-second video: First rule of leadership.

Once upon a time…

You dreamed of a future not only better than now, but much better than now.

You still on it?

Congrats.

The path never ends

Focus on the path.

The path to mastery.

Do not focus on success.

The long way is the short cut.

Mastery brings success.

66 – 80

Thought Cheryl and i would spend 40 years each at Walt Disney World. Can you imagine one couple serving and leading (and having fun) for 80 years combined?

Turns out our 66 combined years of Disney Service is perfect. Cheryl with 36 years and me retiring 10 years early with 30 years of service.

.think .differently

My decade-early departure (retirement in 2014) was a six-year plan spurred on by two things:

First, a catalytic Disney layoff in 2008-09…the Real Estate and Banking collapse (the Great Recession, akin to the Great Depression).

Second, the realization that i should have a Plan B in case this ever happened again.

Historical note: It did happen again in 2020 when Covid-19 decimated Disney operations world-wide. Roughly 30,000 Cast Members in Florida and California were laid off and eventually terminated. Disney Institute went from approximately 170 Cast Members to about 20.

What is your desired mental accomplishment level?

Improvement mindset is the DNA that runs through every great organization.

What is your desired mental accomplishment level?

Pick the level number you desire for your mental vibrancy, using a 5k runner analogy:

  1. Olympic Gold
  2. Olympic podium
  3. Olympic finals
  4. Olympic Team USA, qualify
  5. Olympic Trials, qualify
  6. Nationals Gold
  7. Nationals podium
  8. Nationals finals
  9. Nationals, qualify
  10. College Varsity Team

Can make this list more nuanced, and definitely add more layers. But want to stop at 10 general layers.

Note the obvious difference in common sense effort, dedication, and motivation required to jump from one level up to the next.

And the jump from level 10 to level one is exponential.
