The economy of health

An eight-mile hike was required to take this photo.

 

The economy of health comes down to a simple question.

Is my health something worth defending?

Exercise is great stimulation for creativity

Exercise is great stimulation for creativity.

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.

Early is on time and yields decent benefits

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort Lobby
i remember when a Front Desk Cast Member had the idea to experiment with this concept; a children’s only waiting area with themed seating and Disney movies playing.

 

Disney's Grand Floridian Resort Lobby
Give anxious children a place to be delightfully distracted until the adults check in and get the room keys. Original area is next to Front Desk (in background).

It was so successful, a second child area was created.

Here you can see them both.

 

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.

 

Less reality, more pixie dust

Pixie dust vs Reality…

 

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.

 

Less (reality):

hassle

confusion

waste

frustration

silos

turnover

urgency

messy issues

mediocrity

conformity

following

 

More (pixie dust):

leading

focus

discipline

mastery

courage

accountability

commitment

loyalty

collaboration

creativity

innovation

honesty

profit
