“When we go into that new project, we believe in it all the way.  We have confidence to do it right.” – Walt Disney

On a recent trip to Orlando, Florida, I took in the awesome sights of the Magic Kingdom.  All over the Magic Kingdom, were these signs posted in what would otherwise be construction zones.   I captured a good quantity of these signs from the trip.  I will be sharing these with you as a series.  Each carries with it a message that we can all learn from.

Today’s message is about confidence.  Walt had the confidence when nobody else did to risk it all on building a crazy concept called a theme park.  I read that Walt would gauge the value of an idea by how many successive “no” or negative comments that he received when sharing his idea.  When he had heard 10 responses pointing to a “no”, he would immediately green light the project!

Where in your life or business do you lack confidence right now?

What would you rate your confidence to bring a project to successful completion?

If you didn’t answer 100% you may be suffering from the force of doubt working against you and your goal.  I suggest that you inventory your last 10 successes or victories that you have achieved on a sheet of paper.  What challenges did you have to overcome in order to be successful? Carry that same learning, insight and confidence towards the goal or project you are attempting right now.

Leave me a comment and let me know if you are a Walt Disney fan or not!
