The Fascinating Personal Brand of Tim Tebow

As of this post, the Green Bay Packers are still undefeated. Guys like Tom Brady and Ben Rothelsberger each sport glitzy Super Bowl rings on as a testament to their incredible professional football resumes. It’s not surprising that the Bleacher Report lists the Top 5 NFL Quarterbacks for the 2011 season in the following rank order: Aaron Rodgers – Green Bay Packers Tom Brady – New England Patriots Drew Breeze – New Orleans Saints Matthew Stafford – Detroit Lions Eli Manning – New York Giants Sure, I think Eli’s brother Peyton has been sorely missed this season due to a neck injury.  That explains why he’s not included on the list. Rothlesberger rubs a lot of people (especially sports writers) the wrong way which may explain why he’s not present in the top five. But this year, we stuck in state of fascination. Who are we all the radio DJ’s talking about? Where is the buzz focused on social media? Love him or hate him, who’s the quarterback that seems to be mind this season? None other than the young Timothy Richard Tebow. Fascinating Personal Brands I’m knee deep into my second pass at Sally Hogshead book on how brands and people keep us fascinated.  You’ve seen me mention it here before, and if you haven’t picked it up yet, make it a goal to read (or listen) to it before the New Year.  It will change how you look at your products, services and even your own personal brand. While I obviously don’t know Tebow and haven’t reached out and asked him to take the Sally’s F Score assessment, I’m willing to bet my bottom dollar that Tim unkowingly leverages three of the seven Fascination Triggers from Sally’s work: Mystique — This Trigger is defined by the presence of unanswered questions which fascinates us by causing a desire to want to solve [...]

Jump Start Blogging & 26 Completely Random Cables

The thing about grinding your blogging practice to a halt is that it’s incredibly difficult to start up again.  Cold engines and dormant batteries don’t necessarily want to turn over immediately when you twist the key. The result is being caught stranded, of course. Most midwesterners and northerners make a point to keep tools like jumper cables in the trunk for just such “stranded” occasions.

It’s no joke — I’m absolutely guilty of being stranded for the last few months, stuck with keys to a cold, frozen engine on the very platform that helped me travel the interwebz at high speeds. In a BIG way, blogging helped me become who I am. Yet, I’ve really not been who I am recently, huh. Sorry. There’s a lot of reasons for my choices over the past few months, some intentional and others unintentional. I’m not going to go into right now, and in a sense, it doesn’t really matter anyway. What does absolutely matter, is the jump start. Here’s a first take at my list of potential jumper cables, for me and you to share.  If you have ideas that have worked for you, by all means, add them in the comments.  I could use your help right now… 26 Completely Random Cables for Bloggers Compilation posts make good cables. Curating the opinions of others around you can spark ideas and delight readers. Self analysis is a powerful jumper. Try going back through your old work after a long hiatus. Fresh eyes can [...]
