What Can We Learn From Peyton Manning Becoming A Denver Bronco? Plenty.

NOTE: Sorry about the pathetic camera angle. By the time I noticed the camera was aimed a tad too low, it was too late! I know you miss seeing my big head.

During the press conference introducing Peyton Manning as the new quarterback for the Denver Broncos, John Elway responded to a question about what plan B might have been.

We don’t have plan B. We’re going plan A,” said Elway.

It was a terrific moment in the press conference. And it made for a sound bite I’m sure most of you have heard many times by now.

Was it really plan A? I don’t much think so.

I referenced this book in today’s show (recorded Tuesday, March 19th):

That’s Easy For Him To Say!

I’m listening to one of my favorite experts, ahem, I mean gurus. He’s on the radio and he says something ridiculously crazy. Sure, he can still be among my favorites and say something stupid. I say stupid things all the time and I’m still one of your favs, right?

In his foolishness he gave me a flash of brilliance. I call them epiphanies…mostly because I’m always searching for them.

And today, I’m gonna share my epiphany with you cause I like you. Also, because I want to keep my status as one of your favorites.

Small Changes Over Time Can Result In Big Improvements

I love big ideas. I love big goals. Some folks love to use the word “audacious.” Pile on a few more cool words and you get phrases like “big, hairy, audacious goals.”

I love that, too.

Nobody wants to follow a leader shouting, “Let’s pull together and get that 2% increase this month!” We want Braveheart to lead us. And Braveheart won’t settle for anything small or insignificant.

Braveheart leadership makes for a better movie, but in real life small things can lead to big changes. Watch today’s show and let me know what you think.

A book mentioned in today’s show:

Podcast: Download The Audio | Non-Flash Playback

Today’s show is a personal appeal. I’m not singing in The Yellow Studio, but I have before. Not nearly as well as John Lennon.

Here are the questions in today’s show:

1. If you create and consume content, how often do you do that? You may create content only weekly, but consume it hourly. I suspect we all tend to consume far more than we create.

2. What’s your schedule? Do you create content on a regular basis? Do you visit various content regularly?

3. Do you subscribe (either by email or RSS or any subscribe button) or do you just visit sites to consume their content?

4. How do you feel about the content created here? We’ll go ahead with a few more numbers under this heading (but don’t worry I’ve only got a few more questions). Rate my content on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being “I could care less” and 5 being “I can’t take my eyes or ears off of it.” (In the podcast I call this the final question, but the following questions are under the headline of this question so my numbering system may confuse you. Sorry.)

5. I should ditch this content: ______________ (fill in the blank). This is subject matter I should stop producing. (Yes, I call this number two.)

6. I should do more shows on this: _____________________ (fill in the blank). This is subject matter I should more heavily produce. (I call this one number three.)

7. Yes or No. I should stop producing video. (I call this one number four.)

8. Do you wish I would blog more? That is, I should just write posts without video or audio. (And this one is number five, confused yet? Me, too.)

9. I’m currently podcasting once a week. That is, a single audio only show comes out once a week. Is that enough, too much, not enough? (Here’s number 6.)

10. Is it just time for me to stop all this? Actually, this final question is just whatever feedback or suggestions you want to give me. (This is the final question. I called it number 7 and it’s the most important one.)

Email me or leave me voicemail feedback. Please, please, please!

Thank you for listening, watching and reading. Thank you for being part of my life. I hope I’m just a small resource to help you along the path. We’re all just a work-in-process.
