Success has a recipe with one main ingredient

Disney Cast Activities
i worked part time at Cast Activities the Winter of 1982 and full-time the Summer of 1982. Disney’s Cast Activities is strictly for Cast, their family, and their friends. No Guests. Pretty cool if you ask me. Very intentional on Disney’s part.

 

World-class results are driven by people and organizations that over-focus on the same things others under-focus on or ignore.

If you don’t understand this, try again. Say it out loud until it makes sense.

It makes perfect sense.

If it doesn’t for you, you will never achieve results you dream of.

Why?

Because success has a recipe.

The biggest and most overwhelming ingredient in wheat bread is wheat.

The biggest and most overwhelming ingredient in organizational vibrancy is intentionality.

This feeds on itself

Some people still wait for the TV weather person for the forecast. Others find out in seconds.

 

Most people have no idea how much their disorganization is slowly destroying their spirit.

Being unorganized feeds on itself.

It can never get better, and in fact can only get worse, if we never get better.

The first sentence is very telling

Disney Institute blog post
Yesterday on Facebook.

 

If the above statistic is accurate and 70% actually fail, i’d like to offer an expert observation that is going to suggest a much higher percentage for cultural transformation.

It’s more like 99% that fail.

The difference in numbers is easy.

Organizational change is one thing.

Cultural transformation is entirely another.

A small percentage of people take up running, and stay with it for a few years.

An even smaller percentage take up running and run until they die.

Unapologetic for being organized (and driven)

Mr Fredricksen from Disney Pixar UP
Last night using iPhone (screen capture) while watching UP in our Family room.

 

Unapologetic for being organized (and driven).

And you should be too. Never let anyone convince you your dream is too big, or too much work.

A specific post inspired what you’re reading now.

Why?

It was the gut reaction comment written to Bob. Sharing it now to capture the spirit of today’s five posts – no guts, no glory:

 

Thank you Bob, you are kind and generous to take time out to read and comment. People are very busy.

Eventually, close friends and colleagues will learn about the fees, but no one will ever remember the six years of working two jobs seven days a week, traveling, staying healthy, spending $80k on 72 months of operating expenses for the first six years, not making a dime (on the second job, my only job now), and never paying myself any salary, ever.

No one will ever know the countless times the thought of quitting seemed like the educated and practical choice.

The only thing more remarkable than the speaking fee is the indomitable will to make a difference.

Have an awesome weekend.

Luck favors the determined.
