Living A Fairy Tale: Disney’s Rise To The Top
While working at Pesemen-Rubin Art Studio, Disney met a fellow cartoonist named Ubbe Iwwerks and the two became instant friends. They created their first company, Iwerks-Disney Commercial Artists, but it collapsed because they found few clients. The two then went to work for Kansas City Film Ad, where they continued to experiment with animation and different techniques. After two years, Disney quit his job to launch his second business.
Lesson #4: Take Control
“I don't like formal gardens,” said Disney. “I like wild nature. It's just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess." Despite his apparent disregard for structure, Disney was a hands-on entrepreneur, who enjoyed taking control over all aspects of his company. While it was in part personality-driven, Disney’s hands-on nature was also due to a lesson he learned the hard way early on in his career.
About Walt Disney
Walt Disney may be one of America’s most beloved visionaries and entrepreneurs, but there is much about Walt Disney that his fans don’t know. For instance, did you know that Walt Disney’s actual autograph bears no resemblance to the famous Disney logo? Or that Walt Disney got his idea for Mickey Mouse while watching mice play in his garage one night? This was despite the fact that Walt Disney himself had a fear of mice.
Walt Disney World
In the Frommer’s Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World, author Bob Sehlinger says, “When it comes to Walt Disney World you either need a plan or a frontal lobotomy.” Indeed, as huge a complex of theme parks as Walt Disney World is, without adequate research, there are undoubtedly many things that would never be noticed or uncovered by the public. From what goes on in the ‘backstage’ areas of Walt Disney World to the number of ghosts that ‘live’ in the Haunted Mansion, Walt Disney World trivia is the subject of much eager discussion.

Lesson #1: Do Not Put All Your Eggs Into One Basket
When McFarlane was once asked by a journalist what he considered to be his greatest career mistake, he did not hesitate for a second to answer. “Not thinking about being diverse in the business and artistic areas I was involved in,” he said. “My early mistake was not putting myself in a position where one or more mistakes wouldn’t determine the outcome of the rest of my future.”

Working At Home Gives The Freedom To Wreck Your Business
Veteran work at home professionals have a lot of valuable experience to impart on making working from home an effective and productive way to earn a living. There are lots of benefits - being able to work in your bathrobe, and deciding on taking a nap in the middle of the afternoon are just two of them, and they aren't even covering the benefits on your taxes.
You Are A Brand
Developing a strong sense of who we are takes both introspection and courage, but it is the core of finding our own brand.
What you can learn from Mickey Mouse to grow your business
A few years ago I had the opportunity to go to Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida and was amazed at the efficiency, professionalism and marketing strategies used to make the customers experience an unforgettable one. That day has stayed with me and I have shared the simple and effective strategies with clients many times since my visit. In this article I summarise the four key things Disneyworld do exceptionally well in engaging their customers and delivering a quality product. These practical activities any business can do, take a minute to see what you can adapt into your world with these four activities.

Branding USPs etc Its a Bit More Complicated Than You Think
When you mention branding the really inexperience entrepreneur tends to think of their logo, whilst the business person who has read up a little thinks of their USP (unique selling proposition). The overall thinking tends to be that you slap your logo on everything, mention your USP a few times and you have branded your company! If only it was that simple.

Mickey Mouse and Work Boots - Memories of My Father
Being a first-born child and only daughter I have to admit I was a little bit bossy when I was small. I really looked forward to leading my brothers home from school each day. We'd have a snack and then the three of us would watch the Mouseketeers while Mother cooked in the kitchen. Don't get me wrong, my Mom was a working Mother. She purposely chose a job as a school principal's secretary so that she could be home after school (when we arrived) and also during the summer. Before the ending of that popular song- you know it - M-I-C- (see you real soon) K-E-Y... (why? Because we love you)... you could hear the back screen door slam. In walked my Dad. He was home. It was an unspoken rule that turned into a ritual that when Dad walked in the door, everyone stopped what they were doing, and ran to greet and hug him. You see, my Dad dug d

Faulty Laptop Touchpads and How to Fix Them
To be as sleek and stylish as is possible laptops contain a touchpad which operates like a computer mouse but is static as opposed to a mouse must be shifted over the computer mouse mat or flat work surface. However, it regularly fails either in part, or often it can stop working completely. Thankfully, you may hook up an external computer mouse to the laptop if your touchpad fails. Nevertheless, unless the defective touchpad is disabled or turned off both of them could possibly interact. The mouse pointer could judder or make very small motions that can cause the cursor to jump between text letters.
Social Media: Set Your Employees Free
Every morning while I’m getting ready for work, my two little boys get to watch some TV. My wife and I have decided that a little Disney Channel in the morning is not going to rot their brains, and we limit their TV time to 30 minutes each morning and evening. Today, I asked my three year old son what his favorite show was, and I was a little surprised to find out that Phineas and Ferb had replaced his previous favorite, Mickey Mouse. However, it quickly dawned on me that this Disney snub was hardly the result of the fickleness of youth. Since his exposure to television is quite limited, my son only watches five shows in total. Of the five shows he watches, two of them had already been “favorites” leaving him with only 3 actual choices (so Mickey shouldn’t take it personally).

Mice and Men
Recently, there was a university study done using white mice as the subjects for a psychological experiment. The mice were put into a cage with a red light and a green light on opposite sides of the space. The experiment was designed in such a way that when a bell rang, a mouse could rush to the red light or the green light to receive a treat. The treat was only presented for a few seconds, so that if the mouse guessed wrong and went to the green light when the treat was being presented at the red light, the mouse didn't have enough time to rush across the cage and get the treat.
