A few tidbits:

  • Wakes up at 4:30 am and works out.
  • Doesn’t have a driver, likes the solitude of driving himself.
  • Writes personal notes to Disney talent that he hasn’t met before.
  • Be punctual. (My favorite. He will start meetings on time even if people aren’t there.

I love reading interviews and articles like this. It gives a small snapshot into these executives lives and helps motivate me to work harder as well as ways to become more successful. Seems like someone should put these together in a book. With all the self improvement books out there I wonder if I could get 10 minutes with high level CEO’s to create my own book or series.

Would you pay $19.95 for a book about how the very successful live their daily work lives? I would.

It’s to late, and I can’t put together coherent sentences so I will link to a few roundups of the event.

Hopefully there will be another one of these, even if it’s smaller, before the end of the summer.
