Being organized sometimes requires luck

Being organized sometimes requires luck.

Two-plus hours at the Dentist instead on one hour. No worries, we walked out with the latest in braces technology, Invisalign.

Come home, eat brunch, notice pool waterfall isn’t on. Check pool pump to discover after four years, it’s not working. Ok, so it’s 11am Friday. We leave in 24 hours for a writer’s retreat.

What are the odds of getting a replacement pool pump (with zero notice) the day before leaving home for a week?

Without an immediate (see day) fix this time of year, a week without circulation and we’ll return to an algae pond.

Stakes are high.

Darren was out to the house and done in less than two hours.

The more risks i take the safer i want them to become

Digital Garage Door opener
Yesterday afternoon, took a break from work and installed a new digital garage door opener.

 

The more risks i take the safer i want them to become.

Running and growing a business are two different things.

Running a business is managing things, growing a business is marketing and sales. And of course product delivery is a hybrid combination of both.

Life gets more complicated when you’re the the CEO.

The new garage door opener app sends an alert every time the door opens or closes. It also provides an ongoing report as well.

Peace of mind, ease of use. Great combo.

Not having garage door openers in our vehicles also feels better.

Most growth is small, daily, and incremental.

The long way is the short cut.

OMG technology

OMG technology.

Home security cameras.

Light controls.

Door controls.

Indoor environment controls.

Cloud based storage for free and a fee.

All of it controlled from your phone.

Was going to use ATT but startups are making it easy to DIY, with better results.

Safety first is a mantra at Disney and always has been.

Purchasing digital safety equipment was not on my mind a few days ago as i drove to the Apple Store to buy a different pair of earphones to use while bicycling. Better headset, better, more clear connections on business calls.

Unexpectedly, i discovered a new line of home/business security products on the wall display next to the headphones.

Bob Iger, Disney’s reigning CEO, wants every leader to have a love affair with technology.

Bob has Walt Disney’s DNA, Michael Eisner the 21-year Disney CEO before Bob, and literally every leader at Disney also possesses this DNA.

It is really fun (yes, fun) to make things easier AND more secure at the same time.

i’m going to Walt Disney World

i’m going to Walt Disney World.

Leaving my childhood home in an hour, bound for Harrisburg Airport, and a non-stop flight to Walt Disney World.

Business meetings concluded, it’s time to sleep in my own bed again.

No place like home.
