Helping Others be Awesome
A person who is talented or skilled in three different areas is regarded as a ‘‘triple threat’. If you can act, sing and dance, you would be a ‘triple threat’. There are also man examples of talented athletes who pose a triple threat in the sports arena.
What is your personal “triple threat”?
Have you reached a point where the job you’re really good at has become less of a challenge? Has something else come along to light your creativity in a passionate way that is very different from the path you’re currently on? If it meant totally reinventing yourself for this new “passion”, could you…would you?
Tonight our “William Shatner Way” Comedic Motivational Show hosts, Mordant & McFall lead us on a path to just that –“Reinventing Awesome”.
In this episode our “Making History” Comedic Motivational Show hosts, Mordant & McFall, are a-doin’ things a little differently. This episode was broadcast LIVE via both the No Agenda Stream Radio and SimulTV.
Tonight’s guests Deet and the Geek, from the Deet and the Geek show, are helping our Success Freaks team on a New Adventure in Helping Others Be Awesome.
Here in Success Freaks Land, we HOBA.
Yes indeed we do. Oh…you don’t know what that means? Allow me to edumacate you with our Freakazoid way of speaking. HOBA, very simply, means “Help Others Be Awesome,” and that’s what we are all about. The more we do this, the more we realize that helping others is the key to success.
You see, in the beginning you’re working on you, figuring out how to help yourself move forward in life and it’s okay to be a little selfish then. In fact, it’s necessary. Along the way, you start meeting like-minded people who are willing to share their knowledge with you. It may not be everything you need to succeed, but each person the Universe sends you holds pieces of your success puzzle. The more you open yourself up…the more like-minded people you meet…the more you find yourself succeeding. That’s when that little “light bulb” appears over your head and it finally dawns on you…this is how the successful people do it.
Doesn’t it, therefore, make sense to share your knowledge with others in need? Of course it does.
Our own Charles McFall has been featured on Wizpert.com (follow the link for the post) for his article “I Can’t Help You With That” on March 11, 2013. The original article was posted to SuccessFreaks.com here.
“And yet here I am, actively giving advice on my show Success Freaks and one-on-one through Wizpert. Isn’t this a paradox? Maybe it doesn’t make sense to the world around us but it’s the truth. And that is what you need to hear right now. You know deep inside that there are no magic answers, that no one else can feel your pain like you do, and that no matter how great the advice is you will wake up tomorrow and still feel like your world is collapsing. I can’t help you with that…” … for the full article, click here.
*** GUEST ARTICLE SUBMISSION ***
I (like most of you that keep up with Mordant) am an adventure seeking, goal setting, self-motivated junkie. Before I even achieve ONE of my goals, I’m already marking off the next thing on my list. I currently have a list the length of the Mississippi River that just keeps growing.
It’s so important to have goals and dreams and to make plans, but something I’m sure you’ve all learned as well is that you probably can talk the talk most of the time, but end up failing when you have to walk the walk.
About a year ago I discovered that I am a GREAT talker but could barely crawl, let alone walk. The goal at the top of my list that I wanted to achieve was weight loss; I have struggled with my weight for quite some time and was sick of saying, “enough is enough” or “my diet starts tomorrow” and not really meaning it.
Here at Success Freaks, we H.O.B.A., do you!?
This month, March’s, theme is New Adventures in H.O.B.A We’ll be discussing some of the new adventures we’re on and how we’re Helping Others Be Awesome.
Episode #87 was supposed to be all about Mordant & McFall interviewing a new podcasting friend they met while attending the New Media Expo. However, things went horribly awry…or did they?
Tonight’s Guest Star, Tim Gillette – The Rocker Life Coach, turns the table on our “Bizzarro- Backwards, Inside-Out” Comedic Motivational cohosts, Mordant & McFall, by asking them about their Success Freaks lives.
Here are those questions:
It would be wonderful if chasing the American Dream was as “Happily Ever After” as it’s depicted to be. Often we have to slog through a lot of heavy lifting, horse manure (helps things grow), and unpleasant people to get where we’re going. Just as you are entering into a “relationship” with any job or career, you are also entering into relationships with the people you work with. It’s up to YOU whether you make it a good, bad or neutral experience. Many of you spend mucho time in a work environment, which means you’re spending mucho time with co-workers. If you decide those relationships are going to be bad, you’ll be right.
“What you think about, you bring about.”
Spending that much time with anyone, especially if personalities clash, can often make for a very volatile work environment. Just know it’s not good enough to “sweep problems under a rug” and/or “stick your head in the sand” enough to ignore it. You have to make a conscious choice to find positive ways to deal with unpleasant work situations and/or relationships.
Questions of the week:
You are plugging along with your life…dealing with the J.O.B., having fun with your friends, finally meeting that special someone that you’re sure you want to spend the rest of your life with. It’s fun, it’s exciting, and you’re loving the chance to explore all of the possibilities of a real romance and, dare you think it…something more. Then, seemingly out of the blue, you discover that there will soon be three of you. A baby is on the way. Of course it’s a shock, but you think you’ve got this covered. It can’t be that hard being a parent. You go to the baby showers, collect the items you think you’re going to need to take care of a little one, read every book you can find about being a parent, and feel like you’re really ready for the big event. However, you never think about how this one little change in your life will affect everything else in your world. Your relationships with your friends, your relationships with your family, even your relationship with each other. Suddenly you go from being a couple to starting a family. How are you going to deal with it all?
