Part 10: Donna Fox's Transcript from Her In Search Of Heroes Interview" by Ralph Zuranski
Ralph Zuranski: You are one of the people that I consider one of the heroes that I met on the internet just because you always seem to have such a wonderful smile and you just seem to be a light in the world of so many people at the seminars.
I was curious what is your definition of heroism?
Donna Fox: I think a hero is someone who does something that is amazing. Whether that be the tiniest little thing, if it is amazing to me then they are my hero. I try to see the hero in everyone, like see the Buda in everyone. It’s very similar.
Everybody has something about them that sparkles, something about them that is incredible, and it’s just finding that gem, that little diamond inside everyone. Everybody is a hero.
So that’s my definition of hero: it’s everyone.
Ralph Zuranski: When you were a young person I know that you had some major difficulties that you had to overcome, especially as you shared with us about the baby.
I know in my life I had a lot of problems initially as a young person. I didn’t have many friends and I read a lot of the comic books so I created my own super hero in my own mind that helped me overcome life’s difficulties.
Did you have any type of hero in your youth that you created? Did you have a fictional hero or somebody in your life that really helped you a lot?
Donna Fox: I have always been a huge fan of Wonder Woman. From the time that I was a little girl till now, if you go and look at my computer my desktop on my computer is a picture of Wonder Woman.
I sometimes open my seminars with Wonder Woman as my opening screen, like the title screen. Where my name would be I have Wonder Woman because she’s my alter ego.
Not only is she beautiful and amazingly powerful, but she has that great lasso of truth so she can always get to the bottom of things. She can always find out the ethical, the integrity, the truth in any situation.
Those being my highest values I really honor the honestly of the lasso and kind of wish that I had it all through my life, to be able to have that lasso of truth.
Just the concept of a wonder woman is someone that causes awe, that causes wonder, amazement, and that can be so many things. For me every mother is a Wonder Woman.
I’m not a mom and I don’t deal every day with what it must be like to raise children and to have a household. I am in awe of every mother that manages to manage their business of their home as well as, in most cases in this world, some other type of job or career or business on the side.
They are all wonder women to me. All women are Wonder Woman because they are all amazing.
Ralph Zuranski: That is a funny story. I know that I created my own character to overcome the adversities of life and it seemed that just by living as that character that created more adversities than it solved. But it was quite a learning experience.
Donna, who are the heroes in your life now?
Donna Fox: I truly see heroes everywhere. My finance is my hero. He takes care of me. He keeps my life light. Where I am prone to be a workaholic he brings levity and simple things.
My business partner is my hero. He keeps drive and motivation in me, and inspiration and brilliance. I am constantly amazed at Paulie’s brilliance. So he is one of my heroes.
Ralph, you are one of my heroes for putting this site together. This program is incredible. If there is one little thing that I can say that can help inspire someone to find the hero inside them, then you are amazing. You are the hero.
Everyone around me is my hero. If I can just figure out what lesson they have to teach me. That is the real trick.
We have all been in this situations where we are like, “This person has nothing for me. I’m just going to get out of it.” Try to remember that they have something to teach me or they wouldn’t be in front of me.
Everybody has something to teach me. I just have to figure out what it is.
Donna is also one of the coaches and trainers for the amazing Butterfly Marketing Program.
