I'M YOUR HOST, TONY HOOKER AND THIS IS A PODCAST DEDICATED TO HELPING YOU BECOME A PERSON OF ACTION SO YOU CAN FIND YOUR PASSION AND BECOME THE HERO OF YOUR OWN STORY. LET'S GET STARTED… Main Message: Hello my fellow heroes and welcome to episode 42. This week I want to talk to you about a simple, repeatable guide to personal success, something we're calling GPS. Success is an interesting thing. Everyone that you would ask will tell you that they want to be successful. The problem is, most of those same people have never defined what success means to them. Defining success for yourself is important because success means different things to different people. In fact, if you were to ask 100 people what success means to them, you'll get 100 different answers. So the key, as I said, is to define what success means to you for each area of your life. To that end, in this episode I'm going to give you ei

Choose The Right Vehicle For Your Success Goals give you a target to aim at but there are many different ways to reach that target. Ultimately your success depends on the path you choose and the vehicle you use to reach your goal. If the vehicle isn't compatible with the path, you won't reach your goal.

Title: The Whole Person Concept Intro Music WELCOME MESSAGE: HELLO EVERYONE AND WELCOME TO, "BE THE HERO". I'M YOUR HOST, TONY HOOKER AND THIS IS A PODCAST DEDICATED TO HELPING YOU BECOME A PERSON OF ACTION SO YOU CAN FIND YOUR PASSION AND BECOME THE HERO OF YOUR OWN STORY. LET'S GET STARTED… Main Message: Hello my fellow heroes and welcome to episode Thirty-Nine. Today I want to talk to you about the Whole Person Concept. It's something I was first introduced to during my time in the United States Air Force. On an annual basis we would receive an Enlisted Performance Report or EPR. Despite the name, it was more than a performance evaluation. This annual review covered multiple areas of individual's life. It included: Job Performance, Volunteerism, and Self-improvement, among other areas. The concept was meant to cause the individual to seek improvement in all areas of their life thereby producing well-rounded Airman. Although the application will be different, I think the Whole Person Concept, or a version o

I'M YOUR HOST, TONY HOOKER AND THIS IS A PODCAST DEDICATED TO HELPING YOU BECOME A PERSON OF ACTION SO YOU CAN FIND YOUR PASSION AND BECOME THE HERO OF YOUR OWN STORY. LET'S GET STARTED… Main Message: Hello my fellow heroes and welcome to episode Thirty-Eight. This week I want to tell you to Fear the Walking Dead! And I know that you are probably thinking about the T.V. right now but let me explain. In the context of success and achievement, I classify the walking dead as someone who has lost their dream. They have lost their goal. And they have lost their perspective. They have abandoned hope of reaching a dream they once held. They go about their daily routine with no real thought for the future. They just look at the ground in front of them and meander from task to task or even job to job without an end goal in mind. People like this have ended up this way for a variety of reasons but here is the scary

Title: Find a Mentor Intro Music WELCOME MESSAGE: HELLO EVERYONE AND WELCOME TO, "BE THE HERO". I'M YOUR HOST, TONY HOOKER AND THIS IS A PODCAST DEDICATED TO HELPING YOU BECOME A PERSON OF ACTION SO YOU CAN FIND YOUR PASSION AND BECOME THE HERO OF YOUR OWN STORY. LET'S GET STARTED… Main Message: Hello my fellow heroes and welcome to episode Thirty-Seven. This week I want to talk to you about the importance of a mentor. As we progress in life or on the job we will eventual find ourselves in unfamiliar territory. We'll find ourselves in place where our skill set will be tested and we're pushed beyond our current abilities and understanding. In these moments, instead of trying to go it alone, it might be prudent to search out a mentor. Someone who has been in our shoes, someone who has overcome the obstacles we're facing. In short, a mentor who has the knowledge, understanding, and perspective that we lack. In today's high paced environment both at work and in life at home, some people might disregard the role a

I'M YOUR HOST, TONY HOOKER AND THIS IS A PODCAST DEDICATED TO HELPING YOU BECOME A PERSON OF ACTION SO YOU CAN FIND YOUR PASSION AND BECOME THE HERO OF YOUR OWN STORY. LET'S GET STARTED… Main Message: Hello my fellow heroes and welcome to episode Thirty-Six. This week I want to talk to you about your dreams. In particular, I want to talk to you about how your dreams can act as a compass while you navigate day-to-day life. An interesting thing happened this week at Disneyland. The lead actor of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise, Johnny Depp, showed up in character at the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Much to the enjoyment of the ride's patrons. Hearing about Depp's impromptu Jack Sparrow appearance, reminded me of the compass his character has carried throughout the movies series. The compass he relies on is special, unlike other compasses, it did not point true north. Instead the compass po

Title: Living Life Abundantly Intro Music WELCOME MESSAGE: HELLO EVERYONE AND WELCOME TO, "BE THE HERO". I'M YOUR HOST, TONY HOOKER AND THIS IS A PODCAST DEDICATED TO HELPING YOU BECOME A PERSON OF ACTION SO YOU CAN FIND YOUR PASSION AND BECOME THE HERO OF YOUR OWN STORY. LET'S GET STARTED… Main Message: Hello my fellow heroes and welcome to episode Thirty-Four. I want to start today's episode with a question. What does it mean when we hear the term abundant life? Or, Live life abundantly? I know for many, when the idea of an abundant life comes to them, they think in terms of money and possessions. And while I think those things can be part of an abundant life, they are in fact, a very small part of it. A truly abundant life involves so much more than having a lot of stuff. In this modern age of consumerism we can get so caught up in buying more stuff, more things, and I'm talking a things we don't even need. And in America, it feels, at times, that we feel that we're just automatically entitled to these thi

LET'S GET STARTED… Main Message: Hello my fellow heroes and welcome to episode Thirty-Three. This week I wanted to encourage you, I want to implore you, to stop waiting to change your life! Stop waiting to make a difference! Stop waiting to become the hero of your own story! We all have an idea, a dream, or a vision for our lives. We all have a picture in our minds of what we want our lives to be. But somewhere along the way we still allow life to become run of the mill and tedious. We allow ourselves to become satisfied with a mundane, mediocre existence. And over time the picture, the vision we have for ourselves fades and becomes little more than a dream we can no longer remember. We all have our reasons, or more aptly named, our
