The reason

Blog post screen shot with a photo of a classroom
How many Leadership books and articles have been written over time? A Goo-Gillion? Probably. What are they all trying to say? They can’t all be saying something different.

The reason for asking JB a second time was because I finally got real with myself and said, “You’re never gonna write seven Disney Business books on your own.”

Saying that out loud, freed me to be willing to pay a substantial fee to enlist JB’s expertise. In fact, based on a scalable formula for all seven books, the fee seemed like a well-paid opportunity.

JB countered with a number that took my breath away.

Got frustrated.

Got defensive (probably).

We shook hands and never spoke of it again.

Blessing and a curse

business ideas hand written notes
When you start a business, you don’t know what you don’t know. Curse and a blessing.

When you start a business, you don’t know what you don’t know.

Curse and a blessing.

You can spend too much time on insignificant things, like designing business cards, logos and tag-lines.

And so it goes.

Some hidden Disney image to be visible when all seven books are in the proper order. That’s a fun vision.

Today’s posts brought to you from a small pile of post-it notes tucked away and neglected in the large, middle, desk drawer.

Eloquent wisdom

Disney Keynote Speaker jeff noel
On a mountain top, you see what few see. But we should all be able to see this: that everyone is going through a hell no one else knows about. Enjoy and learn from J. K. Rowling’s Harvard commencement speech below.

Eloquent wisdom from someone who was lost, alone, and defeated. The hero’s story, as it were.

We all have a hero’s story to tell.

Tell it.

Don’t die with a book in you.

Write it.
