I just visited Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida and one quote that I heard there from Walt Disney (the person, not the company, though sometimes it may be hard to tell the difference) has been running through my head.
I hope we never lose sight of one thing. It all began with a mouse.
I just keep thinking of how big DISNEY (the company) is right now. Theme parks, movies, TV, investments, travel, hotels, and everything else. And it all began with a mouse.
How many dreams do you have that are so big you can’t even see how they’re going to be accomplished?
Maybe they need to start with something smaller, like a mouse…
But there’s a part of the story that’s missing.
Michael Eisner, former CEO of Disney, once said:
Walt Disney used to walk around and always say, “I hope we never lose sight of one thing. It all began with a mouse.” Well, here at Disney, we know the truth. It started with a mouse, and a man.
Are we looking for the mouse, or the man? Any thoughts?
