Dear Body, welcome to 2024

If you had no car nor public transport (and no Uber), how would you get around? You’d be forced to walk, bike, or skate.

The challenge with perseverance is under-valuing creativity.

When you want something bad enough, you find a way to keep moving forward. There are a million reasons to quit. Find a million and one to stay motivated not to.

Nobody likes BS

Dennis Frare from Disney Institute
Friend and Disney Institute colleague, Dennis.

Character is what you do when you think no one is paying attention.

dad

As a 24-year professional speaker, i dial into what my fellow Disney Speaker contemporaries say. And then i compare it to what it looks like they do. Almost without exception, the talking and the doing don’t align.

Classic snake-oil salesperson.

Important note: Dennis, pictured above is one of my all-time favorite Disney Institute colleagues. He is in the category of role model.

Money in the bank

Please don’t worry about what other people think of you. Why? Most people are a mess. What they think about you pales against what you think about yourself.

Regret sucks. Bank on this.

dad

Note: There’s always a chance some people will not find their regret painful. Not sure how that is possible. But as the saying goes, “nothing is impossible”.

Additionally, there are levels of regret.

An example of a lower-level regret…

One Summer, let’s say, you didn’t save enough money to purchase next year’s seven-night cruise that you had dreamt about for several years. You made enough to save, but you overspent on a few other things that you didn’t need to and shouldn’t have, based on your goal.

An example of a high-level regret…

In your 20’s and 30’s you didn’t consistently invest small, manageable amounts of money in high growth, blue-chip stock. Decades later, you regret not knowing and experiencing the magic of compound interest. And now you will not live long enough to experience the magic of doubling.
