SF #181 – Happy Holidaze 2014

December 28, 2014 by Success Freaks

‘Tis the season to be…grumpy?  During this holiday season, do you find yourself spouting Bah Humbug more often than Merry Christmas?  Do thoughts of family dinners this Christmas Holiday stir up more feelings of dread than visions of sugarplums dancing in your…well, you know.  If you find yourself in a quandary about Kwanzaa, a huff about Hanukkah, or exasperated about X-mas, then this is the show for you.

With a birthday just past and Christmas around the corner (when this episode was recorded), Mordant & McFall tackle the slippery slope of the Holiday Spirit and the meaning(s) of Christmas.  Is Santa Claus truly for everyone… or only the less-enlightened, more materially-minded masses looking to horn in on a religious holiday?  Your Level Up Guys go back and forth on this one, chucking Christmas cheer and tongue-in-cheek tinsel all over the Holiday Season.  Give a listen and decide for yourself whether they are being Naughty or Nice.

Happy Holidaze & God Bless Us, Every One!!! [Read more…]

SF #180 – Would you Rather be Brilliant or Inspired?

December 21, 2014 by Success Freaks

SF#180

SF#180

This week on Facebook.com/SuccessFreaks, Charles asked the question Would you Rather be Brilliant or Inspired?  First off, what’s the difference if any between the two?  Are we just arguing semantics here or is it anything like Would you Rather be Lucky or Good?  While one aspect taps into personal abilities and the other divine gifts, how does one choose?  Is there a constant right or wrong for each individual or does each work best situationally?

Confused?  Give a listen to this episode and let Mordant & McFall help you sort this out.  Both have strong ideas about whether being Brilliant or Inspired is better case by case.  With more written listener interaction than you can shake a metaphor at, this episode promises to both edify and entertain you.  By the end you will have a much clearer understand on the what, when, and how of whether You Would Rather be Brilliant or Inspired.

SF #179 – Limiting Growth: How Big is your Beanstalk?

December 14, 2014 by Success Freaks

What happens when your growth hits a wall, running smack into the stagnation of others?  Is it their fault…or due to self-limiting beliefs on your part?  Are you, in fact using them in your own subconscious scheme of limiting growth?  Jack, of Jack and the Beanstalk fame, experienced growth even when he was cheated into taking magic beans.  He had growth when he discovered a huge obstacle of the beanstalk.  As long as he kept going, Jack experienced growth.  But, what about you?  What happens when you hit the immovable force that is your own personal giant at the end of the journey that is your beanstalk?  Do you cut down the thing that inspired growth or do you find another way?

In this episode of Success Freaks, Mordant & McFall discuss the aspects of seeing other people as roadblocks.  What it truly means when they pop up in your life, and how to grow beyond them.  And, challenge the question: Can people limit where you want to go in life?  If you’ve been wondering what to do about pesky problems like negative family input, then this is the show for you!

SF #178 – No Time Like the Present

December 7, 2014 by Success Freaks

With so many things happening in your life, you often lose sight of what’s most important.  Remaining present will bring clarity in the midst of chaos giving you the tools you need to not only survive, but to thrive.  Remember, it’s called a present because it’s a gift you give yourself.  Staying present not only allows you laser-beam focus on whatever task may be at hand, but also gifts you with the ability to enjoy the richness of life happening around you.

In this episode, Mordant & McFall discuss remaining present as a salve to any emotional pain you might be experiencing.  Rather than dwelling on your most recent loss, often it is best to concentrate on what remains immediately front of you.  Staying present helps keep you balanced and grounded – no matter the storm of chaos raging around you.

Also discussed in this episode are your Level Up Guys joining BlogTalkRadio and the recent Star Wars teaser trailer.  All this and more on Success Freaks. [Read more…]

SF #174 – Do Your Due Diligence and Excel

November 9, 2014 by Success Freaks

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.

SF #173 – Priorities: Relationships vs. Work vs. Goals

November 2, 2014 by Success Freaks

Having a hard time watching your priorities face off against one another?  Are you busy building a juggling act and yet you’re not an entertainer?  Does your relationship have to compete with your work and your goals for your attention?  Do you find that there’s not enough time in the day for not only what you have to do but what you want to do?  Sometimes the mere thought of everything on a to-do list will send people into a spin out of anxiety and depression – all the while knowing there’s not even enough time to waste on an panic attack.  How do successful people balance everything that needs doing with stuff they want to accomplish and a family life?

While out on an errant errand, Mordant crashes headlong into this very problem.  Listen in as the Level Up Guys shuck and jive, bob and weave through the rough rapids of a real life.  If you’d like to see how your Success Freaks handle the same problems with priorities you’re faced with everyday, balancing betwixt relationships, work, and goals, this is the show for you.

SF #169 – Fear of Success … #118 Revisited

October 3, 2014 by Success Freaks

Since Mordant is traveling from Minnesota to North Carolina, we’re revisiting SF #118 this week. We sincerely hope you enjoy it. 

Is fear of success a real thing? If so, why are people so afraid of this beneficial thing they keep saying that want out of life? So many people unknowingly sabotage themselves without realizing it and then wonder why they’re not succeeding.

Fear of Success means being afraid of the very thing you desire. Giving into that fear will keep you safely ensconced in that snuggly-safe bed you are making for yourself by not taking the steps necessary to live a bigger, badder, better, more life. Moving beyond this self-imposed mediocrity means giving up what you’re comfortable with. It means leaving your comfort zone and taking enough of a leap of faith to take a closer look at what you need to change in order to be successful.
