It wasn’t a stomach bug, but it had created similar effects. Nausea. “It” was a conference call Tim Tebow had with reporters following his trade to the New York Jets. He’s so positive. Obnoxiously so.
Thanks to everybody (so far) for your feedback from episode 121. In today’s show I’ll begin by reviewing some of the feedback I’ve received. I had show notes (a very rough outline) that I quickly abandoned in today’s show. Time got away from me, as it is wont to do! You have only yourselves to blame though because the show is based on your feedback.
Here’s another show you can go back and check out after you listen to today’s show. You may find it helpful. It’s an epiphany episode (and those don’t come around nearly often enough). Yes, I reference Salty Droid in today’s show. If you know “the Droid” then you know part of the subject matter discussed in today’s show. Internet Marketing.
I admittedly have a bias in favor of one form of Internet marketing – affiliate marketing. My roots in commission sales likely have a lot to do with it. Just check out my resources page. It represents just a few of the products and services that I’ve used through the years…and found useful. If you trust me, you might consider them useful if they fit a need or desire. If you don’t trust me, then my recommendations have no value.
Every act of selling involves earning trust. Unfortunately, some sellers earn trust and they’re not worthy of it because they’re scoundrels. Buyer beware is still very sound advice and unlike our legal system, we ought to assume sellers are guilty of being scoundrels until they prove to us they’re not. If that sounds cynical, well, it is! But that cynicism has helped me live debt-free for much of my life.
Thanks for coming by the website to listen and watch. I greatly appreciate it. Your presence moderates my grumpiness and gives me hope that not everybody is an idiot (yeah, I’m looking at YOU).

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):
• Getting to Plan B: Breaking Through to a Better Business Model by John Mullins and Randy Komisar

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:
• The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy
