I have a customer that will go over a job and what he wants and his ideas than he will say "well I did the easy part, the talking about it, now the rest is up to you".

Dale...I'm sure he did sometime. All great thinkers took naps. Edison was known to work around the clock and just take 10 or 15 minute naps every few hours.
Research is just beginning to show that naps help refresh your brain and make you more productive.
I know that Dan doesn't take naps...but then he's not real.
Side note: Disney was a thinker and dreamer. He surrounded himself with creative people who could put his thoughts into reality. He was the ultimate positive thinker...if you can think it, you can do it. What an experience it must have been to have been a part of those early years.

Hi Ray, that Disney quote reminds of what I always told the "Kid" that worked with me. He would stand in front of sign and talk about what shade of blue he might use or maybe this or that, until I had enough and I'd say "JUST GET THE BRUSH"! How many times have you just started painting and changed your mind from the original color combo? " Maintain"

The Imagineering book is the best of the three... Imagineering - ISBN 0-7868-6246-7. I bought mine back when it first came out and even got it autographed by more than 20 Imagineering greats, some of whom had been there from the start. Many of them were then at the tail end of their careers.
I've long been a big fan of Disney and the folks at Imagineering have had a big influence on me and my career.
I recieved the opportunity to tour the model shop at Imagineering back in the early 90's accompanied by none other than Tony Baxter, Executive Vice-President of Creative. We talked for quite a while and after he looked through my portfolio he offered me "any desk I wanted there." I turned him down in an instant but heard the offer again a couple more times in the next years.
Although I've never regretted my decision to continue working on my own I've occasionally wondered what I might have worked on had I taken him up on his offer.
Even now I'd love to spend some time there, at Imagineering, rubbing shoulders with those incredibly creative folks and seeing the wonderful things they do. I have no doubt I could learn a great deal in a very short time. Although I would love to be there, I have no doubt the structure and huge organization would never work for me personally on an ongoing basis.
But its better not to wonder what might have been and instead live to the fullest where I believe the grass is indeed greener, here in Yarrow...
