Amplify your home

Walt Disney World Steam Train
Yesterday, as the WDW Steam Train backs into the Monorail Roundhouse.

 

Magic Kingdom Main Entrance
Yesterday, soaked in sweat, at the midway point.

 

Be the most organized person you know. Not obsessively organized, just really good and decently organized.

Organized with stuff, but also organized with your time – for your priorities, like exercise.

Amplify your home.

Turn it up.

We win every time we do this.

Five is a nice round number

AMC Pleasure Island 24 Theaters
Yesterday at Disney Pixar’s Inside Out. His block was a decent try.

 

Joy, sorrow, fear, anger, disgust.

All five help us navigate life, and help us learn to thrive.

All five were featured in yesterday’s father/son movie choice.

Five, hmmm, good number.

  1. Mind
  2. Body
  3. Spirit
  4. Work
  5. Home

If only there was someone on the Internet who wrote about these five everyday.

Sorry, it just happened. No deep thinking whatsoever. 🙂

All you need is one percent more to have final say

Disney, Best, Leadership, Speaker

Be organized enough to know this and deliver on it.

Is there any currency more valuable than time?

All those books that use short cuts and secrets to lure you into buying them.

How have they served you?

The long way is the short cut.

Since retiring from Disney, my “get to do” versus “have to do” percentage has moved from:

51/49 to 95/5

Stunning.

If you ever have a business partner, never go 50/50.

When you disagree, there’s no tie-breaker, there’s stale mate.

But all you need to have controlling interest, and critical decision making authority, is 51%.

Same in life.
