Simple enough?

Iconic Walt Disney photo.

Our secret for keeping Disney so clean? We see a piece of trash, we pick it up. The secret for writing? Wake up, start writing.

Over-focus is the way

The “promised” email never arrived. It happens. Try again tomorrow. Life comes with a few bugs.

The reason some business did well in 2020, is because innovative ‘Disney’ creativity looks at things other businesses either under-focus on or ignore.

Plan B

Was the first one to jump in. A college student was the second and only other adult (the son of my college roommate) to get soaked. Turns out, it rained on the way back to the vehicles and everyone got completely soaked.

The Great Recession’s gift was the opportunity to birth a Plan B should there ever be another catastrophic economic event, and worst case, an involuntary separation. Here we are, 30,000+ Cast Member terminations in 2020. Disney Institute was decimated. My business is strong in 2020 thanks to diversification.

Writing is celebratory

Would you write every morning if it brought you joy?
