When nothing seems to be working, is it you or the universe? Mordant & McFall hit “Do Something” vs “Patience” and explain why they are both right.

This week on Success Freaks, the guys help you practice patience with a little An-tic-i… Pation! Then, they stop making you wait and actually talk about Patience. The chatroom starts a discussion about “Being ready, WHILE being impatient.” In the Level Up, we caution you to be careful what you ask for… and teach you not to jump to “knee jerky” conclusions.

SUCCESS FREAKS #78 – Bushwhacking Success – Winning Through Persistence Against All Odds

January 10, 2013 by Success Freaks

Broadcasting LIVE from Las Vegas at the NMX Conference, baby! This “Special” episode of Success Freaks finds the #1 Late-Night “New Media Expo” Motivational Show hosts, Mordant and McFall, in the middle of one of the most exciting, and nerve-wracking, times of their lives as they share their adventures in “Bushwhacking Success “ …or finding that “back door” (just like a Victory Ninja) in to where you want to be.

Today our Success Freaks podcasting duo enthusiastically discuss the trials and tribulations encountered on their path to becoming professional speakers, the road to NMX, as well as the lessons learned along the way, and how they use these experiences as they move forward. With a little help from a list of people that reads like the Who’s Who of NMX and/or podcasting Royalty, this hour is lively, fun, and a lesson in itself.

The race you’re running, the one that levels up your life enough to achieve your goals and change your world — it’s a race your run against yourself … and it’s a marathon — not a sprint. Persistence is the key to Bushwhacking success. Too many people quit, thinking they’re way off the mark, not realizing they’re just 10 feet from the gold. You’ve got to plan your strategy, lie in wait, and then move when the opportunity presents itself. If you really want to do something, sometimes you have to actually create it yourself! This can be said for almost everything you do.
