PUT WALT TO WORK FOR YOU

The experts told Walt it'd never work. A giant theme park, where parents and children could play together? Crazy So Walt put all of his money into this crazy dream of his. He put his reputation on the line. Anyone else would have quit, discouraged and disillusioned, but Walt built Disneyland. How did he go from dreaming to doing? And how can you do the same, no matter what your goal?
