On Oct. 17, Korkis was the guest speaker at the Winter Park Small Business Education Series program sponsored by the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce.

His talk with the small business owners, titled ?Who?s The Leader of the Club: Walt Disney?s Leadership Lessons,? was held at the Winter Park Welcome Center.

Korkis, who previously worked as Disney?s coordinator of College and International Programs, said Disney World has demonstrated that if the product is strong and appealing, customers won?t haggle over the price.

?Think about Disney World,? he said. ?It?s 100 bucks to get in for one day, and $17 for parking. People still do it. Disney is not telling you the story that it?s a Magic Kingdom because it?s magic if you have any money left in your pocket at the end of the day. They?re not selling you that. They?re selling you an experience.?

No one would argue with the fact that Walt Disney built an empire and became very successful in the world of business. ?All a business owner has to do ?is look at what he did with his idea and then apply it on to?their own business.
