Wouldn't it be Awesome to be Someone's Hero? Even Just for One Day
Wouldn't it be awesome to be someone's hero?
Even just for one day.
Yes, for those of you of a certain age, I am stealing (I mean borrowing) David Bowie's famous line from his smash hit song "Heroes". One of my all time favorite songs.
So, wouldn't it be great to be somebody's hero today?
Whether a complete stranger, a friend, colleague, co-worker, customer, a loved one, spouse, your kids, or whoever.
How could we be a hero for just for one day?
Well, let's talk about being a hero to a person who you don't know.
By simply wearing a beautiful smile on your face, you could make a huge difference.
Whether it's a cashier at the grocery store, somebody at the gas station, or a clerk checking you into a hotel.
Even if you're not having the best day.
Well, maybe they're having a really bad day as well. Even worse.
Flashing your pearly whites with a radiant and glowing smile could mean a huge difference to the person on the other side.
Along with a friendly, "Hey, how are you?"
"Happy Tuesday (or happy whatever day it is). You look awesome today. How's your day going?"
Just think how that simple act of kindness could brighten someone's day.
To change gears, let's talk about a customer, a colleague, a friend, or a prospect.
How could we be a hero, even just for one day?
My friend Greg Mischio, the founder of Industrial Marketing firm Winbound, does an amazing job of highlighting and shining a bright light on his colleagues with killer blog posts.
Greg will gather quotes from a group of different marketers in his space.
Even some people that he might even cross over or potentially compete with. But in an extremely selfless and humble manner, Greg will just rant and rave about others.
For example with this outstanding post, 14 Ways to Get Access to Subject Matter Experts and Create Exceptional Content
Another excellent example...
Damon Pistulka, co-founder of Exit Your Way offers his Faces of Business twice a week where he highlights rock stars and heroes from different industries. Damon does a fantastic job allowing guests to share their value and the solutions that they deliver to the market.
This is an extremely positive and powerful way to be somebody else's hero by offering a platform to talk about themselves.
Especially since, what is every person's favorite topic on the planet? Themselves.
Why not be that hero?
Be their hero and let them talk about themselves allowing them to escape from the problems and challenges they face.
Let them talk about their strengths, their opportunities, and how they save the day for others with their superpowers.
You could put it on a blog post, a video, podcast or even a social media post.
So put on your cape.
Leap tall buildings with a single bound.
Smile bright.
Just let them know of how great and wonderful they are.
Be a Hero, even just for one day.
