Writing was easy while the bus stopped, unrushed, to unload and reload.

What this Disney Creativity & Innovation Book will not do:

It will not offer an easy fix; however, it does provide a simple fix.

It will not entertain you.

It will not hold your hand.

It will not answer all your questions.

Once Upon a Time in Disney Creativity and Innovation (prologue)

It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.

Creativity is work.

Hard work.

Relentless work for a Company that’s never satisfied.

Walt was desperate enough, often enough, to try things no one had attempted – with the sole purpose to stay in business.

Sorry to ruin the Fairy Tale.

Yes, he was creative. Just like you and me.

He was also driven.

And he was smart enough to know the secret to creativity is hire great people, inspire them with the vision, and then become a bee and pollinate the flowers.
