Whatever you do, to listen to Joe's interview. It will blow your mind and blast your cheeks out of your seat. This is one of the most motivating interviews ever. If you want to know what you need to do to become a humongous success, LISTEN TO THIS INTERVIEW!

Ralph Zuranski: Why are heroes so important for young people?

Joe Polish: Because a lot of times, young people have a parental influence that is not always that positive and they have life circumstances that are not always that positive. Things such as an individual just giving a child a little bit of encouragement in a time where it’s really needed, can absolutely change that individual dramatically.

Joe Polish: So it’s important, because everybody benefits when they’re given a dose of confidence and belief in themselves and just saying, “You can do it,” even when they believe they can’t.

Joe Polish: So going back to 12-step programs, I think everyone should read The Big Book Of Alcoholics Anonymous. It’s just a very interesting book, and it’s about individuals who are suffering from an addiction, which is basically doing something they don’t want to do but they can’t stop, going into a place where they’re beyond hope and surrounding themselves with people that believe in them more than they believe in themselves.

Joe Polish: A lot of times, no matter who you are, if you’re dealing with a problem and you don’t have any hope, to be around someone that believes in you more than you believe in yourself is important.

Joe Polish: So going back to "Why are heroes important to children?" for that exact reason, there are a lot of children out there who are hopeless. They need people that believe in them more than they believe in themselves. A terrible thing to have happen is to go through life where you never, ever believe that you’re worthy, that you deserve it, that you’re capable. That can manifest itself into very, very horrendous things.

Ralph Zuranski: That’s so true. That’s the reason why I created the "Heroes Program." It gives people hope, and especially helps young people find a pathway through life. They don’t have to go through and make all the mistakes that we did as kids. Nobody’s really putting this information out. It seems that the schools are just turning kids into robots and employees, and destroying any hope they have for ever attaining their dreams.

Joe Polish: I really appreciate you taking this time to give this valuable information to the young people who are out there, that are desperately looking for answers.

Joe Polish: If you had 3 wishes for your life and the world that would instantly come true, what would they be?

Joe Polish: Well, one would be, at the end of my life, to have transformed entrepreneurs and the way their businesses run. This is actually a business-related goal.

Joe Polish: One of the things that I’m doing is with "Ethical Services." I have a website called "www.EthicalService.com." It’s right in in the embryonic stage. It was featured on the www.ABC.com website, when I did a show with Barbara Walters and Arnold Diaz back in 1999.

Joe Polish: But, really the point of that business venture is to connect consumers that are looking for ethical companies with companies that are ethical, and offer to guarantee their work, carry proper insurance, not employ people in a manner that forces them to do high-pressure selling to make a living, and they refuse to have any misleading or unethical advertising. So, they don’t do bait-and-switch.

Joe Polish: I’ve started it in the carpet and upholstery cleaning industry. My goal is to take it from industry to industry to industry. I actually think I can transform – not think, I know – that I can transform the way that consumers find companies that are those types of companies that really care about their consumers so they are able to locate each other.

Joe Polish: I want to create the ultimate win-win situation in the business world. I think I can create a better way for people to buy things, so that they can find companies that are more trustworthy and companies that are really good and ethical. They’re not forced to have to get into the low-priced pit with everyone else, and use manipulation and to figure out how to sell the goods and services.

Joe Polish: So, that’s one wish that I would absolutely love to have come true, and work very hard with a lot of people backing me up to do it.

Joe Polish: The second is, at the end of my life, to know that I have reduced suffering for enormous amounts of people, just by facilitating making contacts, because I’m really a connector.

Joe Polish: And the third is just be an encourager. I went to a funeral a couple of years ago now, by a friend of mine named Ralph Blass. He was just this great guy that was in the cleaning industry. He had built a company called "Steamaway International."

Joe Polish: Everyone at the funeral, if there’s one thing that they all said, it was, “He was a real encourager. He was a real encourager.” And it was true. And it made me think about times where I’m sitting here being grumpy and complaining about stuff.

Joe Polish: If I can walk through my day being an encourager, not only does it help other people but I pretty much feel good the whole day. It may not be rub the lamp and have a Ferrari and $10-million in the bank. So what? That would be nice, too. However, it wouldn’t be nice if I wasn’t an encourager and if I didn’t have a lot of gratitude. So that’s kind of my off-the-top-of-my-head list.

Ralph Zuranski: Do you have any good solutions for the violence in our society today, like racism, child and spousal abuse, violence among young people?

Joe Polish: A solution? Don’t support it, meaning don’t sit in front of the news station all day long and watch violence and people abusing each other…watching movies all day long about violence and stuff like that.

Joe Polish: In terms of a solution to it, I think the solution to it – and, again, this is only Joe Polish’s version of where I’m at in my life – is being a more conscious individual. Where does violence and all of that come from? There’s a disconnect somewhere.

Joe Polish: I think if the whole world, and I’m trying to be careful of what I say, became more spiritual and lived their lives based on creating value for others and focusing on their strengths and their talents, there would be less of a reason for people to be violent.

Joe Polish: I think violence and out-of-control behavior is just the manifestation of someone living a life of suffering, and not figuring out what works in their life.

Joe Polish: So, it just gets worse and worse and worse, and pretty soon they explode. So it’s kind of like an out-of-control individual when they snap.

Joe Polish: There’s different types of violence, too. Sometimes, violence is a reaction of dealing with being attacked. That’s one thing. Sometimes, you just have to do what you need to do, if you’re put into a threatening situation.

Joe Polish: Other forms of people that are beating their wives or just verbally abusive, those types of individuals, if they were aware, would see that there’s a disconnect and there’s something going on, then that frustration would no longer be a frustration.

Joe Polish: Anger is okay. Anger is an emotion that everyone feels and it has a lot of benefits to it. It’s when it becomes rages that it’s out of control.

Joe Polish: So when things reach a state of rage, the first thing is having the awareness, "Why is this happening?" and then "What are you going to do about it?"

Joe Polish: I’m probably not the best person to say what the solution is. My solution is, "Pursue a spiritual path. Ask God what’s going on here." I just don’t want to use this type of format to tell people what my belief system is, because it’s my life. I do it the way that I want to do it, and it may not work for others.

Joe Polish: For me, when in doubt, "Seek God!"
