Liberace quote — Las Vegas…Liberace says, “I don’t give concerts. I put on a show.”

Do the reps.

Never get bored with the basics.

It’s a Small World

Three Disney Leaders — George Kalogridis served as Walt Disney World President for several years. George and i worked together at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. Cheryl worked with George in various Human Resources capacities through her 36-year Disney Career.

It is a small world at Disney. Almost every leader starts out on the front line in an hourly role.

Jungle Jeff at Disney’s World-Famous Jungle Cruise attraction in Adventureland, in 1982.

Cheryl as a Merchandise Hostess in the Christmas Shoppe and the Garden Shop at The Disney Village Marketplace, in 1984.

George as a busser (clearing plates, etc from restaurant tables) at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Hotel, in 1971.

Disney is a leadership machine. So many talented leaders.

One leaves, one easily is replaced. Maybe not initially, but in due time, you become a memory.

This is a bitter pill at first, until you realize it’s a cultural phenomena.

You take solace on who you served, how you served, and why you served.

This is the way.

A leader pursues a home-life frontier

wisdom quote — Two mistakes: Not starting. Not finishing. This is a picture, not a video, fyi.

A leader pursues a home-life frontier. A manager pursues a home-life checklist.

A life spent running your home as If Disney Ran Your Life versus running your home as if running it like a business is illegal, immoral, stupid.

Run it tight but fun

three bad apples in the trash — Three consecutive apples are bad. This is so rare that i am easily able to recognize how rare it is and rejoice that there are three backup bags of apples.

Run a tight ship, and, also a fun ship.

Make your home-life a finely-tuned art form.

Make being highly efficient at home an art.

Make being the most organized person you know so much fun, you feel like the most blessed person alive.

When you are at your best at home…

Mickey and Minnie toy characters — Disney University.

When you are at your best at home, what do you recognize about the experience and what do you attribute to getting in that zone?

Practice makes perfect.

Some say perfect practice makes perfect.

What say you?

What say you, about your prioritized priorities and how you’ve intentionally honed your life’s structure and processes at home?
