Comments on: Why Disney? http://www.miracle-homes.com/blog/2010/06/why-disney Creativity in New Home Construction from Milwaukee's Leading New Home Builder Mon, 10 Oct 2011 18:55:45 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.1 hourly 1 By: Tom Hignite http://www.miracle-homes.com/blog/2010/06/why-disney/comment-page-1#comment-1420 Tom Hignite Thu, 08 Jul 2010 04:40:48 +0000 http://www.miracle-homes.com/blog/?p=210#comment-1420 Thanks Lynn and Bill, I have a great respect for anyone who sets their business sights higher than the "bottom line". Dollars and profitability may be what keeps the doors open, but stretching the creative boundries and trying new, innovative things are what makes real money and makes it worth coming into work each day. When we each pass on from this earth, it is those creations and those good experiences we have created for others that will remain , not the size of our wealth. Funny thing. When you can forget about putting that bottom line first, and concentrate your heart and mind on innovating your product or service, the dollars will come naturaly. Thank you so much for your comments. It is good to hear from you. I hope folks will check out your book which shares my core beleifs in this matter. Blessings, Tom Thanks Lynn and Bill,

As we wrote in our bestselling book, The Disney Way, there is no industry, no matter how basic, that couldn't benefit from injecting a dollop of Walt's unfettered visionary spirit into too-often sclerotic corporate veins. Many of the greatest figures in American business - from Thomas Edison to Bill Gates - have been dreamers, and it's no accident that Steven Spielberg, an American icon approaching Disney status, named his company DreamWorks SKG. Companies MUST give themselvees permission to dream. Whether or not they come up with an equivalent of Walt DIsney World in which to showcase their fantasies, the simple act of letting imaginations run free will increase creativity and innovation. Dream on!!!! Lynn Jackson and Bill Capodagli Great “dreaming”, Tom!
