SF#177 – Down The Rabbit Hole

November 30, 2014 by Success Freaks

Should you stay safe and comfortable in your life – especially since everything is working great? Or is it better to seize the adventure, mixing things up and initiating the changes you’ve been yearning to experience? When not “rocking the boat” means allowing complacency and lethargy to consume the time it might take to become your own hero, it’s best to throw caution to the wind and swallow that damned Red Pill of Possibility, and jump Down the Rabbit Hole.

In this episode, Mordant & McFall poke, prod, & preach about what it means to take chances and live your life to the fullest. Moving beyond the relative safety of your couch, step away from the television or book spouting other people’s creations and create something awesome of your own. You only have time to lose and you’re letting that slip through your fingers already anyway. Why not throw your life into a little turmoil and, quite possibly, become the star of your own story instead of watching/reading about the heroes in someone else’s?

“… An Adventure Seeking, Goal Setting, Self-Motivated Junkie …”

March 8, 2013 by Success Freaks

*** 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.

TOSOL #72 – Venturing Through Undiscovered Country

November 30, 2012 by Success Freaks

TOSOL #72 – Venturing Through Undiscovered Country

Venturing Through Undiscovered Country is about moving forward, even though all you have is the destination in mind. You kind of know where you’d like to go, but…

1) You’re not sure how to get there

2) You don’t know quite what it’s going to look like once you arrive

Tonight our “Trail-Blazing” Motivational guides, Mordant & McFall, share how planning their Success Freaks Motivational Conference for June 2013 in the Atlanta, GA area has slammed everyone on the SF team right to the razor-sharp edge of their comfort zones. Join us as we explore what causes us to hesitate when striving to take that first big step into the unknown, how we summon the courage to commit to move forward, and what it feels like after a fear has been conquered.

“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

The thing is…decide what you want to do and do it. Take that not-so-blind Leap of Faith and venture forth into that Undiscovered Country.

1) Blaze Trails where ‘ere you go—for yourself and others

2) Find a Native Guide or three to help you along the way

3) But, ultimately, get off your comfortably-numb butt and do something with your life

4) We dare you!!!

5) If we can do this, you can do this. Period

“After decades of research into how the human brain works, scientists now know that for our brains to figure out how to get what we want, we must first decide what we want. Once we lock-in our desires, our mind and the universe can step in to help make our dreams a reality.” ~Jack Canfield~
