Listen To What Heroes Copywriter and Marketing Consultant Stephen Pierce Says When He Answers the Heroes Question "Who are the HEROES in your life now?"

Stephen Pierce: Well there are a lot of heroes. There are a lot of people that I would say that I look up to that I look to model my life after. Mike Murdock. Anthony Robbins would be one, Joel Osteen would another.

People like that. Those are the more modern day people. Of course there are people from long ago like Einstein and who is it? Was it Leonardo? Da’Vinci. Socrates. There are a lot of different people that were great thinkers of old that were absolute geniuses. I love to study and understand the way that they think because their genius was not in their book smart academics but their genius was found in the way that they think.

I think some of the modern day geniuses are Anthony Robbins, are Joel Osteen. It is Mike Murdock. They’re completely different realms but if you look at them and you understand what it is they do and the way they impact people’s lives and how they do it, I think they’re geniuses.

What you do is you look at those people and you can put them up there as heroes. I do things like borrow genius where I’ll envision conversations, then myself taking on different things that I consider to be really good strong points about them.

Then looking at how those can be adapted to my life. Then bringing that together with who I am without allowing it to alter my own personality and what it is I’m ultimately to become.

So those are just some of my heroes, but there are many people because I read so many books. There are people who’ve written books that I wouldn’t be able to recall their name but their book has impacted me in a certain way.

So while there may be a certain group of people specifically, I leave myself open to wisdom, regardless of where it comes from, because wisdom is wisdom.

If it’s something that’s going to be able to lead and guide and direct your path, and help you to move closer to where it is you ultimately want to be, and provide even greater value to those that you’re providing value to, you might as well pay attention to it.
