SF #226 – We Are Who We Are

by

On this episode of Success Freaks, we open with one topic and organically change direction to another.  We SF #226 - We Are Who We Are - ALBUM ART-ARlearn about Mordant’s visit with IRUSA, and that ‘People are people’ (♫ so, why should it beeeeee… ♫).  Our conversation uses a different group of people to show similarity.  In the Level Up, we discuss ‘acceptance vs tolerance’.  And in On Beyond, we  argue about owning our behavior vs. the consideration of all.

What begins as a show about team building, quickly morphs into a frank discussion about Mordant’s experience at the Islamic Relief USA offices, the similarities in people different from us, diversity, racism, and moving from prejudice to tolerance and onto acceptance.  Join the Success Freaks as they take a look at some of the difficulty inherent in moving out from your comfort zone of knowing only people who are familiar to you to having new friends with different backgrounds.

SF #205 – Think Outside the Tribe

by

The Success Freaks received this question from Listener Nada: “Can you talk about how the Ego may or may not fuel the fear we have of how we are perceived and rejection and ways these fears hold us back from opportunities. Also, methods to put our egos in check so that we don’t get in the way of ourselves.”  Listen in as Mordant & McFall go in depth with both their answer and, of course, the humor as they edify and entertain their way into helping you be awesome!

On this episode of Success Freaks, McFall pretty much nails his Randy “Macho Man” Savage impression!  Mordant sounds silky smooth with nary a scratch in his voice.  The guys discuss thinking beyond the Herd Mentality.  When Ego meets resistance, you’re doing it right.  In the Level Up section, we learn about systematic desensitisation, EFT tapping, and “why ask why?”  Finally, in On Beyond, the guys tackle their next big challenge.

TOSOL #72 – Venturing Through Undiscovered Country

TOSOL #72 – Venturing Through Undiscovered Country

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~
