Just because it hasn’t been done before, doesn’t mean it SHOULDN’T be done.
Walt Disney was the essence of being relentless.

📌 When Walt Disney put sound to Steamboat Willie, he was told that it would be too difficult and the audiences wouldn’t appreciate it.
OUTCOME: Mickey Mouse was obviously a huge success and this revolutionized the animation industry.
📌 When he wanted to creat a feature length animation (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs), it was unheard of. Critics thought it would bankrupt the studio.
OUTCOME: The film earned $8million at the box office DURING the Great Depression
📌 When Walt had the vision to build Disneyland, he was told it was impractical and no one would travel that far to visit an amusement park.
OUTCOME: Well, you know exactly what happened…
THE PROBLEM: You don’t always know during that time, if what you’re doing is going to work. But if you don’t at least try, you’ll guarantee it doesn’t.
And as Walt said:
“All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.”
