TOSOL #54 – Ass In Chair

by

Nora Roberts is one of the most popular romance writers in America.  She cranks out roughly five books a year.  How does she do it?  She has just one rule for writing: “Ass in the chair.”  She works on her craft six to eight hours a day.  That’s what it takes to be successful.  That’s what it takes to get where you want to be.  That’s what it takes to make your dreams come true.  It takes work, hard work, and lots of it.

In this episode, Mordant & McFall share pages from their own lives as they continue to work towards catching their dreams.  Through this show, you will begin to see that you not only have to be in the right place at the right time, you have to be the right person in the right place at the right time.  To become that “right” person, you have to put the hours in, you have to make the effort, and you have to focus on what’s important to enrich your life and get you on your road to success.

TOSOL #53 – The Dark Side of Positive

by

There is a “Dark Side” that comes with getting what you want out of life – a price to be paid for that kind of “magic.”  Are you willing to put in the necessary effort to not only be in the right place at the right time, but to become the right person in the right place at the right time?  What are you willing to give up to get what you want?  Free time?  Social time?  Family Time?  Do you run the risk of losing your friends or family because they don’t understand your dreams or the path you’re taking to get there?

 In tonight’s two-hour episode, Mordant & the “Building-My-Dreams Bear,” McFall get real with their audience by opening up about the difficult, or rather Dark Side, of chasing and catching their own dreams.

No matter how tough your goals are you can achieve them.  Want to know how?  Mordant & McFall explore a little Success Freaking in July with “Goal Getting MTO Style” as they delve into Chapter 7 of Double Your Income Doing What You Love by Raymond Aaron.

Our motivational hosts share their own MTO levels as well as shine a light on discovering new ways to achieve goals in levels, achieving goals subconsciously, defining MTO (Minimum, Target, and Outrageous) goal leveling, and the three different techniques to achieve any goal.  If you’re interested in exploring a “guaranteed” way (so sayeth Raymond) of achieving your goals, this is the show for you.

by

You have to find enjoyment in Failing Forward.  You have to find that joy in Dancing Outside your Comfort Zone.  We dare you to try!  Throw your backpack over the wall and go for something that scares you a little bit, but is gonna be a lot of fun.  Do something…just do something.  Better yet, surround yourself with people that do stuff to inspire you to greatness.  If the big picture is freaking you out, if it’s too much for you, seize the small victories.

Welcome to the #1 Late-Night Bigger, Badder, Better, More Motivational Show…otherwise known as “The Other Side of LIVE!”…on this, our 50th episode!  Mordant & McFall lead you to a better understanding of what it takes to be all you want and more in relation to your friends, family, co-workers and, most importantly, YOU.  This episode will lift you up while helping you discover how to change your life-habits enough to make things better, overcome fears, put yourself out there, find the difference between “grace” and “patience,” and respect yourself enough to believe that you deserve happiness and love.

TOSOL #49 – The Consistency Conundrum

by


A TOSOL listener asks, “How do you turn knowledge into consistent positive action?  I can quote positive affirmations till I’m turn blue, but in five minutes I find myself with negative destructive thought processes derailing my positive energy.”  How do you keep moving forward with your dreams when things, people, or even you move to derail your best laid plans?  How do you fix your mindset to accomplish any goal you set?  “We are a product of our moment to moment choices.”  It is up to us to create the kind of life we want to live.

 [powerpress]

In this episode Mordant, McFall, and caller Nolan explore habits.  The conversation includes making the choice to finally move past those habits that are really bad for us and steps to forming newer healthier ones that we want to be part of us for the rest of our lives.  As an added ingredient to Stir the Quantum Soup, Mordant explains affirmations.  What they are, how they work, and how to get them to work in your life.  To round out the hour, Da Den Man calls in to offer words of wisdom concerning the topics at hand.

 “We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”  ~Aristotle~

 A very special Thank You to our In-House Studio Audience that hung out with Mordant in Cornelius, NC.  Kim and Jamie, you were fantastical (and your little dog, Angel, too)!

TOSOL #48 – My Life To-Do List

by

TOSOLDuoIn this episode of The Other Side of LIVE! Mordant & McFall tackle two subjects.

First:  If you find yourself avoiding people, things, or situations, good or bad, because you simply don’t want to have to deal with them, you know what “Avoiding Behavior” is.  In the first part of tonight’s broadcast, Mordant & McFall discuss “Avoiding Behavior” and how they try to deal with it in their own lives.

Second:  What’s on your “Life To-Do List”?  Do you even have one?  Our Late-Night Fun-tastik Motivational hosts lead us on a journey through their own “Life To-Do Lists” and show us all how we need to Believe in Something, Be a Good Friend, Follow Your Dreams, Fall in Love, Find a Passion & Pursue It, and lastly, but most importantly, Be Good To Yourself.

TOSOL #45 – Love. Life. Now!

by

Life has many levels, but no matter what is going on for you… Love. Life. NOW!  Grab it, hold it, and LIVE it like it matters…because it does!

Dealing with Doubts:  You’ve made your decisions.  You know what your passion is, where you want to be, and you’re working hard to get there.  Suddenly, something happens to put doubt in your mind.  You feel overwhelmed, like you’ve made the wrong choices.  How do you get past these negative and very frustrating thoughts?  It’s time to “clean up the mess in your life.”

Dealing with Death:  When someone dies, whether it’s expected or not, it leaves an impression on you.  Mordant reflects on how the recent death of fellow performer Mitt Lenix has affected his world over the past week.

Finding your Passion:  That thing that gets you up in the morning, makes you face the day, and gets your blood coursing through your veins—what is it?  Mordant & McFall share their views of finding your passion and what it takes to catch those dreams you’ve been chasing.
