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)

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.

Organize like you mean it: You fail if you don’t get really good at failing

It’s a huge campus for approx 1,400 ninth graders

 

Trying a crazy idea on for size and discovering it’s too small or too big is a gift.

Not trying is the quickest way to drive yourself insane.

Plus, the more you fail, the less failure feels uncomfortable.

Fail frequently. Fail better.

Failure, the gift that keeps on giving.

Thank goodness.

Organization scales

Orlando based leadership speakers

 

(photo: Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park… Walt Disney was onto something here… be decently organized at home)

Organization scales. The degree to which we are decently organized at home impacts everything else in our life. Positively or not so positively.

We know this.
