Disney

Another quote that striked me was:

"if they hadn't been brothers this thing would have fallen apart in the first ten minutes."
-Roy Edward Disney

What Roy Disney said is definitely accurate. You have a stronger relationship with your sibling then you have with your close friend. This is because family never leaves your side; in the end, no matter how bad the argument, your still related. I believe that if Walt Disney did not have his brother by his side he wouldn't have had such an honest second hand opinion on things and probably would have been more careless with his money. But, because he had his brother Roy Disney working with him to help take care of the financial aspect of the company he knew what he could do and could not do, money-wise. Throughout the book the authors demonstrated a brief understanding on Walts various friendships; some of Walts close friends stuck by his side through the good times but left when the going got rough. That just goes to show how unsuccessful his company would have turned out to be if he decided to partner up with a "friend." All in all, Walt made a good strategic business decision when he decided to start a company with his brother and because of this choice his company is still live and running today.
