Walt Disney played Polo, but no one ever described Walt as fit.
But his ability to inspire creativity in others was (and still is) remarkable.
At Disney, we think “Inside-The-Box”, not outside.
The thing about thinking outside the box is that most people, when they get outside of the box, they don’t know what they’re looking at because they have never built their box.
Dear son, use what i’ve taught you to build your box, and, think inside of it, not outside.
And every so often you’ll want to expand your box – to make it bigger – and having a well-defined box will facilitate this.
The four sides of your box are: vision, mission, brand, customer.

To arrive on time (10 minutes early is the standard) for a 7am meeting, i cancelled my morning exercise. It happens.
Arriving 15 minutes early allowed me to talk to a friend and Cast Member (with 41 years at Walt Disney World). Shafe (that’s his real name) and i worked together at three Disney Resort properties: Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.
The break from exercise was also welcomed because of an exceptionally long day of gardening the day before.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
And i humbly submit that no one balances these two better than me. It the main reason people feel incredible hope after hearing and experiencing my Disney content.
