Podcasts about superman syndrome

Workaholics and work life balance dominate the second half of our analysis of the Superman syndrome. There's probably this perception that in the corporate world, that if you want to climb the corporate ladder every time you go up one rung you start trading away your life for work. And the higher you go the more you trade. The guys talk about workaholics being detrimental to their team and organizational culture; plus, they ask whether you should be trying to attain a work life balance... or if you should reframe how you think about that concept.

"They thought they could do everything by themselves, and they ended up doing everything by themselves." Who do you know that leads a team or operates a business that takes pride in doing the work of three people?

In part one of two, the guys cover team dynamics, business growth, and a host of other leadership faux pas of the superman syndrome. Grab your joe and enjoy the show! . . .

When it comes to running an e-commerce business, it's easy to get overwhelmed with all the tasks that need to be done. One solution to help manage the workload is to hire virtual assistants (VA). A VA is a professional who provides support services remotely, typically online. They can take care of a variety of tasks, including customer service, managing social media accounts, data entry, and more.

Here are some mistakes to avoid when hiring and working with a VA: Not having clear job descriptions: Before hiring Virtual Assistants, it's important to have a clear understanding of what tasks and responsibilities you want them to handle. This includes creating documentation like job descriptions to ensure that both parties are on the same page. Not looking for specific skills and experience: If you're hiring a VA for a specific task, such as managing your PPC campaigns, it's essential to look for someone with relevant experience and skills. For example, a PPC VA should have experience with analyzing data and optimizing campaigns. Not providing upfront tasks and training: It's important to provide your VA with a clear understanding of what they will be trained on and the hours of work expected. A clear contract, including an NDA, should also be in place to protect both parties. Not properly verifying the VA's identity and location: It's important to ensure that the VA you are working with is who they say they are, and to verify their location. This can be done by getting their identification and other personal information. Letting VAs feel isolated: Even though everything is done online, it's still important to invest in creating a sense of community with your VA. This can include holding actual meetings, celebrating birthdays, and participating in events in their location (if applicable). Feeling the need to create a book of SOPs: It can be tempting to want to create a book of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for your VA to follow, but this can be a mistake. Instead, show your VA the responsibilities and tasks they will be handling, and provide training and support. You can even record the training sessions for them to refer back to. This will allow them to create their own SOPs as they become more familiar with the work. Not having a schedule of work: It's important to create a schedule for your VA to follow, so they can work independently without constant supervision. This can include tasks like checking listings for issues, managing PPC campaigns, and checking inventory. Not having reports: Set up a system for your VA to report to you on a daily or weekly basis. This can include what tasks they completed, any achievements or problems they encountered, and the hours they worked. Tools like Asana, Trello, and email can be used for this purpose. Not having a communication structure or regular meetings: It's important to have regular communication and meetings with your VA to ensure that everything is running smoothly and to address any issues that may arise. Suffering from the "Superman Syndrome": It's common for e-commerce business owners to try to do everything themselves when they first start out. However, as the business grows, it's important to delegate tasks to VAs and other team members to ensure that everything is being taken care of. Neglecting tasks like shipments, supplier management, and customer service can lead to problems down the line.

In business, people are often looking for that one guy or company with superpowers to solve their critical issues. They are looking for Superman (or Superwoman) when what they really need is the Justice League. The Justice League is brought together to solve big problems and combines the superpowers of multiple men and women to keep the world safe. It's what I have found working with business. Marketing alone cannot solve business and sales issues. It takes a concerted effort of a cohesive team of superheroes. You may already have parts of your Justice League on staff or in place, but I will explore this further in another post about how to turn on your Bat Signal, and call them to action. Each has its own superpowers, but when you combine them, they will give you the best chance to scale and grow your business. “I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” – Superman In this episode, I will discuss why finding a Superman (or Superwoman) is great... but forming a Justice League is important to business success with sales and marketing!

Tweetable Takeaways from this Episode: “Let people come to you with their commitments. They know their job. They know what they should be doing. Don't tell them what to do. Let them come to you.

My name is Tom Poland beaming out to you from little Castaways Beach in Queensland, Australia, joined today by Stephen Goldberg. Stephen, good day. Sir, welcome from Down Under. Where are you based? Stephen Goldberg 00:24 I'm in Montreal, Quebec on the complete another side. Tom Poland 00:27 Right, up the top of the world. Stephen Goldberg 00:29 Far away out, and I flew to Australia. So, I know how far it is. Tom Poland 00:34 Yeah, it's a long flight, isn't it? From Montreal to Australia, or vice versa? For those of you who don't know Stephen, he's got over 26 years of experience in training, coaching, guiding small business owners on leadership and employee performance. And everyone who has got a business is a leader. And everyone who's got a business has a team, whether they're remote, whether they are suppliers, we all have a vested interest in both of those subjects is what I'm saying. So, our title today is, “How to Build a Solid Foundation to Scale Your Business”. And I don't know if people find the idea of a foundation sexy or not. But if you don't have it, then the whole thing falls down. And over 40 something years of being in business and leading businesses and starting businesses, I've seen countless businesses up with a flash, down with a crash because they didn't build a solid foundation. So important subject! Stephen, thank you for sharing this. We've got seven minutes, and that time starts now. Question number one is who's your ideal client? Stephen Goldberg 01:40 It's small business owners, small medium-sized business owners. Typically, with 10 to 100 employees would be the type of businesses I work mostly with. Tom Poland 01:52 Perfect. Thank you, sir. And question number two, six and a half minutes left, what's the problem you solve for them? Stephen Goldberg 01:58 Well, I help them to scale their business or free up their time to work on the opportunities that present themselves, whether it be to scale their business, or simply to put their talents and abilities where it's going to benefit the business and them the most. And sometimes that's doing things that they're really good at, and they enjoy doing and letting everybody else do what they're supposed to be doing. Tom Poland 02:26 Do you find the things that they do best, other things they tend to want to do as well? Stephen Goldberg 02:30 Yeah, typically. You know, I have clients that are often engineers, and they have an idea, or they've developed an expertise, and they've seen a niche in the market for a specific thing related to that expertise. And they develop that business to solve a problem that may be where they're working, who they're working for, is not addressing. And that's the- you know, a lot of startups just start that way, right? It's people that are working in a particular field and see an opportunity where it's not being addressed. Tom Poland 03:05 It's a fun and exciting place to be. So, talk to us a little bit, if you would, five and a half minutes left. Question three, some of the typical symptoms. So, when you get a new client that starts, just before that, what's going on in their business that they think, “I really need to talk to Steven”? Stephen Goldberg 03:22 Well, often they're running into time problems, trying to get everything done. So, it leads to a lot of stress, sometimes even heading towards burnout. It's affecting their relationships, and also to money problems. You know, when your business isn't being maximized, the productivity of people, you could start running into financial problems, too. And sometimes that's when they call me because they're heading down the rabbit hole towards you know, where they're not going to be able to come back from. So, I don't solve money problems, but I solve the cause of maybe what's led them down that. Tom Poland 04:02 It sounds like your ideal clients have something that could really take off, but they're just struggling with resources and how to organize it all. So out of time, out of money, feeling perhaps like they're not paying attention to details, and so on. We're talking about people that are generally growth-orientated and quite ambitious. So, question number four is- they're going to try stuff. We've got four minutes left. We're on track. What are some of the common mistakes that your ideal clients have made before they find your solution? Stephen Goldberg 04:28 Well, often they'll try and, you know- I say often that the business owner is stuck doing the work that some of his managers or key employees should be doing. For example, maybe they're selling. You know, they started the business selling and getting key clients. And they haven't given their salesmen or sales manager the reins enough so they could start working on other things, but still being on top of that. So, they try and do too many things themselves, and they don't empower their managers well enough so that they can take full responsibility to free up the business owner. Tom Poland 05:09 Right. Okay. Perfect! Thank you, sir. So, the delegation, the outsourcing, the systemization. Anything I've missed in big picture terms? Stephen Goldberg 05:20 Well, they don't use outside resources, you know, consultants enough. They try and fix everything themselves. I call it the “Superman Syndrome”. And they wait too long to ask for help because they think sometimes it's a sign of weakness- Tom Poland 05:37 The secret as they say- Stephen Goldberg 05:38 That they need to get help. Tom Poland 05:39 Right. The secret to success is, you don't have to be very smart, you just have to be smart enough to know how dumb you are and which areas you really should get help on. Thank you for that! Question five, two and a half minutes left, one top tip. A valuable free action, not going to solve the whole problem, they probably need you for that, but it might start them to step in the right direction. Stephen Goldberg 05:57 Well, I guess it's to really get clear with your managers on what the expectations are, and not dictate it to them. People don't want to be dictated to but have the managers come to you with their commitment that will free you, as a business owner. Do what you need to do to address your problems and grow the business. So let people come to you with their commitments. They know their job. They know what they should be doing. Don't tell them what to do. Let them come to you. And then you negotiate that like you would anything else. Tom Poland 06:36 A great top tip, folks! Empower your people. Get them to come to you with what they believe their commitments are and talk about that. 90 seconds left; I better move along. What's a valuable free resource? Where's the website? Someone can go there and find out more about what you do. Stephen Goldberg 06:50 Okay, well, on my website, optimusperformance.ca, which is my company, I have a place where you can go to the blog section, and I have tons of articles and videos. And also, on my YouTube channel. I publish a video tip every week. And I also make available forms, templates. Like one of them, we talk about empowering your managers. I have a Levels of Authority Worksheet where you could define for each key responsibility, what is that level of authority you're giving your manager? Tom Poland 07:26 Right, thank you for that Optimus, O-P-T-I-M-U-S, performance.ca. We've got a whole 30 seconds left. Stephen, what's the one question I should have asked you? And the answer, please? Stephen Goldberg 07:39 I don't know. I mean, we covered quite a bit. Tom Poland 07:42 A lot! Tell me, in less than 15 seconds, what got you into this? Stephen Goldberg 07:49 Well, I was working as an entrepreneur in a family business. And this was in the early 90s. And I realized I didn't really know how to manage people and I was running into the same problems I just described. Tom Poland 08:01 Perfect!

A dynamic discussion for our African American men on how to find strength in vulnerability, featuring Romal Tune and Broderick McBride. *This episode is also featured on the Crazy Counselor YouTube page*

[Warning] This episode contains explicit language and explicit themes. Listener discretion is advised. They talked about villain tropes so it was only right that they took a turn at grilling the light side with a short look at dumb hero tropes. Can you truly have a good story if your protagonist does not drive the story? Well, Danny and Allen are here to look at a few of the examples that immediately prevent them from doing just that. Provided context for both positives and negatives of their given choices they construct a string of options that can please the audience but also choices that cripple other works. At the end they both discuss their least favorite trope: "Superman Syndrome" and why Disney and other media giants need to take a chance. There are even a few that slip in because it's hard not to think of other tropes in a podcast full of them. Sometimes it's just fun to make a joke of the good guy! ~Follow all the Legionaries on Twitter~ Danny: twitter.com/legionsarchive The Tsar: twitter.com/TsarAlexander6 Allen: twitter.com/blkydpease Spangar: twitter.com/LSFspangar ~Credits~ Original "The Broken Shelf" symbol created and published by Danny Archive.

Patrina King and guest, Nancy J Lewis, discuss the working person's need to overachieve in the workplace.

Do you ever wonder why the superstars in copywriting, and in other fields, got there? A friend of mine, Dr. Ben Mack, told me about a book that has some unique insights on the subject. I’ve met a lot of outrageously successful people and I recognized them in every page of this book, even though their names weren’t in it. I can also say that I know many highly successful copywriters that don’t fit all the descriptions in this book, but I see enough similarities so I am convinced it’s the real deal. The book is called The Superman Syndrome: You are what you believe. By Dr. Gene N. Landrum. It’s not based on random magical thinking, but on documented facts and quotes from people who have, really, changed the world. It’s very imaginative and very practical, all at the same time. In case you’re a woman, don’t feel left out. You’re included. Half of the superstars the author writes about are women. He doesn’t call them Supermen; he calls them Wonder Women. I plucked five powerful ideas from the book so you can use them to notch your copywriting and your business up to the next level. A lot of these ideas are counter-intuitive, so get ready for a wild ride and some surprises. I think you’ll end up being more optimistic than you expected. Idea 1: Superstars are so dumb, they are smart Idea 2: Overachievers Use Insecurity for Empowerment Idea 3: Iconoclasts are Maniacs on a Mission to the Impossible Idea 4: Supermen are Weak enough to be Strong Idea 5: The Path to Empowerment is Paved with Myth and Paradox Amazon link for book: Superman Syndromehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/0595346979/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_Xa4sDbXBT42CA Download.

What is compassion fatigue? Definition-the physical and mental exhaustion and emotional withdrawal experienced by those who care for sick or traumatized people over an extended period of time. Compassion fatigue comes from taking on another person's emotional burden. Know the signs & symptoms of compassion fatigue: depression, insomnia, fatigue, heightened emotions, detachment, health problems, poor social/personal relationships, addictive behaviors, apathy/disconnection vs overengagement, “Superman Syndrome”. Ways to overcome compassion fatigue: self awareness, accountability partner, journaling, meditation, healthy socializing, bio reaction awareness, good nutrition, sleep hygiene, exercise, debriefing/counseling, personal & team rituals (remembrance services, attending funerals, lighting candles). To learn more about self care visit our website at The Heart of Hospice.

It's easy to assume everyone else has it together, no problems, they are rocking it. But, in many cases you'd be dead wrong. Many of the people you see as Superman are just like you. Here's my story.

Split Focus & Superman Syndrome I feel I’m pretty in touch with my audience at times. I know the majority of my listeners and readers are trying to figure out where to start or how to continue pursuing their creative work. I basically just said it in my intro. The reoccurring pattern from my newsletter shows people like you want to know how to make time to focus on something outside of your daily commitments. Today, I was going to write about the power of focusing on a project that you both enjoy and are relatively good at. I wanted to write about how to get started with experimenting and catching a pulse to see if it was the right direction to pursue. However, this ended up turning into me possibly oversharing how my split focus has guided me to the current roadblock I’ve found myself at. Yes, I’m going to share the benefits of what focus can do for your creative pursuits, but I'm no expert. I fell I can best share how split focus and doing too much can negatively impact your life as well. Poop on a Plate I’ll admit it, I’m a wizard at piling shit high on my plate (I can't help but imagine a poop emoji on a plate). It’s been a blessing and more recently a curse in my life. I’ve had this Superman Syndrome mentality that I could do it all dating way back to high school. It started with a car accident my sophomore year resulting in me having to get a job at the age of 15. From there, I held down that job of pushing in carts at Hy-Vee while attending after-school programs and playing multiple sports. I was excelling in school, standing out in sports, getting awards all while making some side cheddar. What couldn’t I accomplish in a day? This mentality carried throughout college. My crazy ass was holding down my job at Hy-Vee, working an internship, playing / coaching football while having an overloaded course schedule with night classes. With how much this private school was charging per semester, graduating in 4 years was my only option. Bring on the challenge and premature grey hairs—I can handle it. Doing all the things and succeeding in them was my definition of success. I caught hits of dopamine chasing that ‘productivity high’ and I wanted people to know how busy I was. I was the king of focus, split focus that is and it was a blessing in the beginning. The Value of Focus Here is where I want to tell you the value of finding one thing to focus on that you not only enjoy, but you’re good at too. (I can't recommend the book Essentialism enough if you want to learn more.) Yet, somewhere in there, I’d be full of shit as I’m horrible at focusing on only one thing as I’ve wired myself to think I could do it all. When it boils down to it, yes, it’s extremely important to have something to work towards each day. Giving your attention to something you both enjoy and are good at can radically impact your life and others in a positive way. The thing I pour my soul into every day is Perspective-Collective. It started as a small side project back in April 2014 for me to create art under as I talk about in Episode 28: Make Your Name Mean Something. Over the years it began to take on a mind of its own. It's since opened up new paths of opportunity such as blogging, speaking, teaching, freelancing and now podcasting. Having something to focus on used to be an issue in the past. It had me feeling lost in my lackluster day-to-day routine. That lack of focus has since blossomed into an issue of split focus and spreading myself too thin. Imagine the smallest slice of butter that you're trying to cover a massive piece of bread with and that's me. There are so many things I like to do and want to accomplish, but there’s never enough time to pursue them all equally outside the day job...I'm sure you've said this a million times to yourself. Queue the dreaded elimination game or as Stephen King says,_ "Kill Your Darlings."_ Killing Your Darlings Here’s a breakdown of everything I do under Perspective-Collective. I’m trying to be as transparent as possible so you can see how I struggle to find the essential thing(s) to focus on while eliminating the non-essential. Podcast - 50% Freelance - 20% Personal Work - 12.5% Speaking - 12.5% Teaching - 5% You have no idea how badly I want to get back to doing the podcast weekly. I feel if I was 90% all-in on the podcast, I could significantly grow it at a faster pace. Yet going all in on the podcast has its consequences that I’m not sure I'm ready for. While my day job covers the basic costs of my day-to-day living, taking on freelance with the right projects is too hard to pass on. I have an absurd amount of student loans and other debt looming over me. Making time for freelance slowly works me toward some type of future financial freedom. Personal work is what keeps me sane and allows me to find myself in my work and experiment. Sadly, there isn’t a whole lot of time for it. Speaking gives me the largest platform to share my ideas and connect with people like you. However, the amount of time I invest in planning, preparation, practice and traveling takes a lot of time away from other things. Teaching allows me to discover things I like to help people learn and possibly monetize with an additional revenue stream. I realize I'm doing too much and one of the darlings I had to kill recently was my weekly Fresh Slice Friday pizza drawings on my @pizzadrawingsonly account. It was personal work but it was taking too much time away from the podcast, freelance and time that could be spent with my wife. Killing my darlings is hard, but the essential tasks matter most. This is something I battle against daily as I want to do it all. Catching a Pulse I'm only 29 and I need to remind myself that it's okay to not have it all figured out yet. Everything I’m doing is one massive experiment in trying to find ways to elevate Perspective-Collective to my full-time job...and dammit, I'll make it happen someday. Progress is progress. If my experiments with teaching aren’t catching the right pulse, then that’ll be on the chopping block to narrow my focus and free up time. Right now, I don’t know so I’m going to continue to dip my toes and test out the water. I share this with you so you can see the various levels of focus and the opposing side of focusing on too much. While me venting about split focus may seem like a very basic issue, it goes a lot deeper and does more damage behind the scenes. Let's peel another layer of the onion and get real. This is probably the oversharing section... Do Less, But Better...Not Really Though Funny story, I started the New Year off with the motto, “Do less, but better.” I even wrote that shit large as hell on a whiteboard as a daily reminder. That whiteboard was then stashed in my closet 4 months into the New Year...whoops. While I’ve become increasingly aware of my Superhero Syndrome, changing and acting on it is another story. It’s safe to say I’m borderline obsessed with Perspective-Collective and the multiple channels of what I can create under it. I want to do _all _the things. I tell myself that I got a late start in discovering what I was capable of so now I need to double down on my ‘hustle’ to catch up. There’s that buzzword ‘hustle.’ That word is trouble. I was blinded by the 'hustle' and the progress and possibilities of Perspective-Collective. It caused me to lose sight of the bigger picture of what was at stake. I’ve learned the hard way that I was neglecting and damaging relationships with people that mean the most to me like Emily, my family and close friends. There grew an absence of date nights and being physically, mentally and emotionally present with my wife. My family began to expect me to not show up to functions anymore. The phone calls and invites to parties and gatherings with my friends slowly disappeared. Here I am, trying to convince myself and Emily that I’m 'hustling' my ass off now in the present so we don’t have to work so hard in the future. Who am I kidding, this was total bullshit. In reality, this was an excuse for me to disconnect from the real world and work on making my dream job a full-time reality. It’s fun. It doesn’t feel like work. People shower me in affirmations sometimes when I share my work. I'd be crazy to not invest all my time in this pursuit right? This Superman Syndrome has created a trap and I’ve been trying to claw my way out of the hole I dug for myself. Refocusing On What Matters Progress started by admitting to myself then owning up to it with multiple long conversations with my wife. She wanted to be supportive and not be the person to tear me away from my dream, but hearing her side of things really put things in perspective of how selfish I’ve been. With my hectic travel schedule lately, we’ve been making more intentional date nights and uninterrupted time together. She’s been amazing and insanely forgiving...I owe her everything for that. I’ve since been attending every family function possible to reconnect with everyone. That means even all the niece and nephew birthdays no matter how many hours away they are on a weekend. Editing the podcast can come at another time. I’ve also start reconnecting with my local circle of friends who I hadn’t seen in months. Making time for football on Sundays, drinks, dinners and low-key hanging has been great.While some friendships are gone, the ones that matter are still around. I still have a hard time accepting that I can’t do it all because if I have open time, it takes everything in me not to schedule something to fill it. I share all this because I want you to find something to focus on that lights you up. However, I want you to see that there's gotta be a balance as tunnel vision on a dream can do damage. You can’t do it all. Trying to do so comes at the expense of neglecting other things in your life. Imagine building an empire for yourself only to turn around and have no one to share it with? That’s the shit that scares me and what I try to keep top of mind each day. Key Takeaways Doing all the things is not a sound definition of success. Giving your attention to something you both enjoy and are good at can radically impact your life and others in a positive way. There's gotta be a balance as tunnel vision on a dream can do damage. Imagine building an empire for yourself only to turn around and have no one to share it with?

People push themselves to the breaking point for all sorts of reasons: Some fear not keeping up. Others feel guilty for saying no. Still others suffer from "Superman Syndrome"-- believing that human limits don't apply. (This includes pastors) That's why God gave the Sabbath in the Old Testament-- literally mandating margin to break our bondage to overwork. Time to rest. To reflect. To remember who really runs the Universe. (Hint: it ain't us.) Listen in as Pastor Tim discusses how our culture rewards people who push beyond their limits... and how God counters by inviting us all into the rest & freedom only He can offer. www.LiquidChurch.com www.BigHairPreacher.com
