Me and Batman. Every Tuesday and Thursday night at 7:30.
I never missed a single show!
Batman and Robin kept the Joker in line and rid Gotham City of the bad guys.
You’re an entrepreneur and a superhero by default. It’s your calling, and the world needs you.
Every day you toss on your cape and battle your competitors. You battle those who doubt you can make a go of your dreams. And you protect your customers.
You feel the weight on your shoulders – payroll to make for your employees, results to achieve for your clients. You sure don’t feel like a superhero.
And if you’re like me, you sit for hours at a time at your desk, hunched over your laptop, shoulders rounded. You lose track of time, and hours can go before you wonder why your neck and back feel as tight as a drum.
There are days when I get so engrossed in writing ads for a client’s Adwords campaigns that three hours has come and gone.
According to social psychologist Amy Cuddy who gave a talk on this subject at a TED Conference, just by standing in a position of confidence lowers the level of the stress hormone cortisol in our body, increases testosterone, boosts your sense of confidence even if you don’t feel confident – and changes how others view us.
i'm not kidding! Her whole talk is fascinating - but the power pose is right at the end of the video below if you want to scroll ahead.
So if you're game, here are the basics:
Stand up. Place your feet a little more than shoulder-width apart. Put your fists on your hips and lift your chin. Pull back your shoulders, and push out your chest.

The stress is gone, you feel powerful. You feel stronger. You’re ready to be the superhero you were meant to be for yet another day!
Holy Toledo!
Seize the day!
