Wealth – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Wealthy, at home

child with butterfly net in wildflower meadow — Pure joy. At home. Early 2000’s.

Wealth is when you have something money can’t buy.

At home this looks like a person who behaves like a CEO. Why? Because you are the CEO of You, Inc. You’ve honed a lifestyle where you consistently over-focus on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore.

Time poor, home

Quiet leadership — In one month he went from being last to shaving 7 minutes off his 5k time. Text from Chapin’s Cross-Country coach.

Walt Disney Legacy Award tag line — One is easy. The other two take a lifetime of commitment.

A few times in our lifetime, someone comes along with a dramatic breakthrough, disrupting everything.

Am i time poor? And, does it even matter?

Time poor is when you are so busy, you cannot afford to waste any time.

You are living without any discretionary time.

No extra time to do something that isn’t required.

Now, i’m embarking on a time-rich life.

There’s a catch, however.

i only get one day at a time.

Every day i get on this planet isn’t one less day to be alive, it’s one more day to be alive.

Yee-ha!

Making a budget

Making a budget used to be simple.

Do we have enough money at the end of the month?
Do we pay our credit card bill in full every month?
Do we auto-save money for the future?

Now…

Now it’s different.

Past few days i’ve been itemizing all our fixed and variable expenses.

Eye-opening.

Why change and refocus?

We are heading to a reduced, fixed income soon.

The goal?

Same three original goals, but without dual (or even single) professional job income. Zero jobs moving forward. Only pensions and Social Security. Exciting times.
