Create Your Own Magic

To go along with the last post, where I shared with you about my watch and tangible reminders—another thing that is very significant to me, in terms of, not only reminders, but rewards are two bracelets I wear.  I absolutely, positively never take off.  I even got permission to wear it when I had an MRI on my foot last year, if you can believe that.

The tennis bracelet reminds me every single day that I can do hard things

When I started my own company, I bought this little Mickey Mouse tennis bracelet.  Every single minute of every single day it is on me to remind me to create my own magic.  Right after it was snapped on me—its actually really hard to get on. It took three people to get it on me (ha ha). I thought, “this is something I can’t really take off.

Right after that I walked out onto main street, Disney.  I was 9:30 pm.  That meant it was time for fireworks.  You know, because of my brand Dynamite Productions, that dynamite is a symbol of fireworks. It is to celebrate the things that you have done well at the end of the day. So much of this industry is so, so stressful.  Take the time to celebrate your successes—at the end of every day—not just major, major milestones.

This one I got when I did, what I called, “I pulled a Walt Disney!” I did something that had never even been done in the history of the world, by anyone.  I created a real estate school in three and a half months from start to finish—from content creation to course creation to course recording.  That’s twenty—20 hours of online video content in three and a half months.  Plus, I wrote a bank of 1100 questions.

When I was done with the video recording, I did what I always do.  I went to Disneyland to celebrate.  The bracelet was bought to remind myself, not only can I do hard things, I can do impossible things.  I can do thins that have never ever been done before.  If I can do it, so can you.
