On this episode of Success Freaks, we ask ‘How do you figure out what your “best possible” anything is.  We make a Borderlands analogy about how challenges make life fun.  If you’re good at something, are you required to pursue it? (…is a question we answer)    And we talk about finding a way to keep yourself feeling normal so that you can act normal when opportunity comes knocking.  In On Beyond, we illustrate how saying ‘Yes’ can work out… even if you’re unable to recognize it.

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.

SF #196 – Success = Preparation + Opportunity

by

Are you waiting for opportunity to arrive before doing your prep work?  Why bother learning a skill, memorizing a speech, setting money aside before you have something to work for?  Because, Success = Preparation + Opportunity.  How well and how quickly you move towards your desired goal is directly related to your level of preparedness when opportunities come knocking on your door.

This episode, Mordant & McFall speak frankly about why it is important to get ready before your dreams begin showing up in earnest.  If it’s something you really want to show up in your life, you should hunt it down and work on it, revel in it, master it time and again – because you love it!  And, because doing your due diligence means you’ll be more than ready to step forward and carpe that diem the moment your opportunity shows up.

Do you find that though you have set goals you want to achieve in your life, you’ve taken on so many other responsibilities you have a hard time getting anything in particular done?  Are you spinning your wheels with so many “have to’s” that you’ve no time left for your “want to’s”?  There are ways for you to whittle through the excess and get down to the nitty gritty of accomplishing what is most important for you.

Goals system, the Level Up Guys show you how to zero in on what you want with sharp clarity and and a giggle or two. [Read more…]

October 15, 2015 is the date Marty McFly set his Delorean time machine to in Back to the Future Part II.  So, we have just a few months to “get our shiznit” together in time to create flying cars, hoverboards, and hydrators.  (Actually hoverboards are real – according to skateboard guru Tony Hawk.)  In the meantime, what cool inventions and grand adventures are you working on for your 2015?

For this first episode of the new year, Mordant & McFall are discussing their goals (not resolutions) for 2015 and how they’re going about achieving them.  Join your Level Up Guys for an hour of temporal power as they go back to creating their and your future in 2015. [Read more…]
