Effort – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

The thing about everything, home

Woody from Toy Story graphic — We waited and waited. And waited some more. Eight years of waiting. Never saw an invisible disability coming.

The thing about everything is that everything takes longer than you plan.

Noteworthy, there’s an exception to nearly every rule.

Exceptions are rare.

We planned on having kids.

We started later than many, but thought that within a year of ‘starting to try’, we’d be parents.

We waited to ‘start trying’ until we moved into our second house, the one we have lived in for 35 years and counting.

We never planned on being married for 17 years before becoming parents. It took eight years (from ‘starting to try’), not one, to be blessed with our son.

So yes, nearly everything takes longer than planned.

My advice to myself, plan accordingly.

Not easy and not hard, home

Important stuff, like running a home, for a lifetime.

Important stuff like establishing life priorities.

Important stuff like prioritizing those priorities.

Most stuff in life is not easy.

Most stuff in life is also not hard.

Paradox.

Great news, if you believe it.

Greater news if you use the wisdom.

Being disorganized is scary

Being disorganized is scary.

Laughing helps you recharge your batteries.

Getting and staying organized is a full-time job, 24/7 as the saying goes.

Like we’ve been talking about today, focus, discipline, creativity, faith, generosity and so on, these are your superpowers.

Enjoy the gift of being your own super-hero.

Do hard things

Anything worth doing is hard before it is easy. Embrace and nurture the Magic of the learning curve.

Do hard things.

When you are willing to do hard things you’ll have a more organized life.

How cool is that?

Never get bored with the basics

Disney Keynote Speakers — Time is money. Money is value. Value is investment. Investment is transformation.

Never get bored with the basics.

For example, you get what you pay for.
Invest in the best you can afford.
Don’t set the bar at the highest level and then balk at the work (and money) required for your attempt(s).

(Note: prices removed at the request of my booking Agent.)

Ala cart 2019 menu (think gym membership) has increased substantially from previous years to a more aligned world-class Disney speaking fee level: $__k net Orlando, $__k net if less than a six-hour flight, and $__k+ net for six hours or more flight.

Coaching (think private gym sessions): Compare the annual hours of actual call time plus invisible (to you) prep time. Also compare one 45-minute keynote in Orlando that yields $__k. For 26 hours (biweekly one-hour calls), what would the financial exchange be for the value placed on our time?

(Note: this post is a public way to capture a moment in time as i prepared to negotiate and renew a 2019 contract. It also serves as talking points for all new clients as well.)

Price options (local vs travel):

See above.

Note: i have gone first. Meaning i have offered you lower than i wanted to offer prices, even to the point of offering (twice) a free day so we could do in two days what you wanted to do in one. To prove i wasn’t trying to pad the invoice.
