Rewards – Page 24 – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Slow and steady wins the website race

Dormant — Nearly every company is sitting on dormant opportunities that will change everything. Why?

Truth be told, i’ve had websites since 2008 (eight years and counting).

Why no official, corporate looking Disney Speaker website?

Because…

Slow and steady wins the website race.

The reward for progress, even if it’s slow, is progress.

Seems so obvious.

Which begs the question, “Why aren’t more of us moving slower?”

If we were, we might actually create something remarkable.

The new Disney speaker website now has every page formatted as a “landing page”.

This is a major improvement, in my opinion.

Organized to stop and watch on the way to Magic Kingdom meeting

Florida Sand Hill Cranes — The other day leaving our driveway for an errand.

Heading to Magic Kingdom for lunch. Was not in a hurry and had time at the end of our driveway to watch this Family for two minutes. The parents have red heads. The juveniles do not. The one in the middle was applying clay (water puddle at it’s feet) to it’s feathers.

Had i not been organized, i would have been in a rush to make the meeting on time, and there would be no photo of this encounter. In fact, there would have been no encounter.

Not only is technology cool, but so is initiative

Not only is technology cool, but so is initiative.

Through a Disney College Program Alumni Association, Stephanie asked for the opportunity to speak with me and ask questions. Neither of us knew it would last an hour.

Stephanie earned more time simply because she exceeded my expectations. She took the initiative (which was neither a requirement nor an expectation) to do some investigating (research) on the person she wanted to learn from.

Stephanie asked great questions.

She also revealed late in the conversation (which also exceeded expectations, because she never led with it to impress me) that she read 50 posts each on all five blogs (250 posts).

Wow.

She learned, eventually, how to use the easy hyperlinks to navigate from one website to the next. But that’s a story for another time.

She also ordered my book.

Initiative is difficult to hide.

Lack of initiative is also difficult to hide.

i talk to many ambitious people who are in the early stages of their career. Almost without exception, they ask without giving.

Stephanie stood out because she was a giver first.

An entrepreneur’s journey is difficult and lonely (and joyous)

An entrepreneur’s journey is difficult and lonely (and joyous).

The joy is high at the journey’s beginning because it’s an adventure.

Once the honeymoon-effect fades, it gets so difficult, somewhere north of 90% drop out.

This is where difficult and lonely become your traveling companions.

Travel with them long enough and and eventually you’ll see a horizon you had begun to doubt you’d ever.

#Vibrancy

The distinct outcome in the difference between the habits we nurture or don’t nurture – the contrast between surviving the daily grind or thriving in spite of it.
