SF #229 – Shut Up and Learn

by

SF #229 - Shut Up and Learn - ALBUM ART-AR

Mordant & McFall tackle the issue of when confidence in one person meets the worry wart in another, how to deal with the conflict, and how to shut up (on either side of the equation) and learn your lesson.

On this episode of Success Freaks, we promote a good cause, but somehow forget to set up the show.  We hear what happens when co-workers clash between ‘Worry Wart’ and ‘It’s Fine!’ attitudes.  We share a few personal stories of growth.  In the Level Up, we learn to look for the lesson in every situation.  And in On Beyond, we share the cartoon reactions we sometimes have to each other.

Working to excel in this life, do you do your due diligence?  Are you willing to put in the effort required now in order to make sure your business, goal, and/or relationship smoothly sails forward later?  If you are wanting things to grow/expand/explode and in a good way in your life, you might find you are going to have to put in some sweat equity early on to set things up to go that way.  And, that’s what this episode is about: doing your due diligence, those things you need to do, to excel in life.

Mordant discovers that by putting a day’s worth of effort into setting up several Excel spreadsheets, he can streamline calculations that would normally take him hours on his own.  In this episode of Success Freaks, both he and McFall discuss what it takes to set yourself up to succeed – both the struggles and pay off of.
