Don't Get Accustomed to Average

Creating Disney Magic

“You’re either going to deal with it now or deal with it later. That’s how time works.”

Have you ever noticed how easily we get used to things that aren’t working the way they should? It happens at home, like my garage door that only works if I hold the button, and even more often at work.

Fixing what’s broken, no matter how small, sends a message. It reinforces standards, builds morale, and improves the guest and employee experience. You don’t need to do it all at once, but you do need to start noticing again.

Read my blog for more from this episode on why you don't want to get accustomed to average.
