After visiting Walt Disney World in Orlando a few weeks ago, I am still amazed at what one man can do who does not give up on his dream. Walt Disney had been told that he was not a good artist and had been refused jobs in the newspaper business and also in the movie business.
Even his close friends had given up on him. Yet, he persevered and created not only financial wealth but wealth in happiness and satisfaction knowing that he had helped literally multi-millions of people and families to live a dream and dream a dream.
My wife and I were at Disney World the week after Christmas with are grown daughter and it was wall to wall people, especially families with little kids. We met several people from overseas who had come with their families.
The wealth that these families were obtaining was special memories that will last a lifetime. Special family memories that were a result of one man’s dream-Walt Disney.
He has also created hundreds of thousands of jobs that would not have existed had he not followed through on his dream.
What dream to you have that might ultimately impact the lives of millions of people in a positive way? I am sure Walt Disney did not fully grasp the magnitude of what he would eventually accomplish when he started out.
Creating Wealth That Lasts is about impacting the lives of others in a positive way.
Don’t give up on your dream!

Hi Jacques - great story .. & he created he even more wealth for people with the spin offs from his ideas, completely away from Disney "land" - of cartoons, drawing, being imaginative & the possibility that creative ideas can deliver satisfaction and wealth ..
Am I seeing you tomorrow? Hilary
