How do you effectively convert movement into success? Whether it is learning how to focus on the benefits instead of the work or celebrating the small steps as victories, Andy Frisella shares his insight for how to get your life and/or business moving in the right direction. 

The cheesy self-help gurus and self-proclaimed masters of success always repeat the same phrase, "Don't quit. Don't ever quit." Even though it's gotten to be a cliche and is often expressed in a sunshine-and-unicorns way, it is true. Success is hard.  The world doesn't owe you anything.  You are going to have to fight like hell for every inch of progress. Above all, you have to learn how to finish...

Sales skills aren't just helpful for business. They are applicable--and essential--for success in all of life. Joined by his brother, 1st Phorm President of Operations Sal Frisella, The MFCEO returns to a favorite subject. Ultimately, it's not about selling products and services. It's about selling yourself--and helping people.

"Why are you afraid of the work?" That's the question the MFCEO poses to people who aren't realizing their potential and pursuing the kind of life they really want. At first glance, Andy Frisella says, people might seem lazy. Sometimes they are.  But often, people aren't lazy. They are afraid. The prospect of working hard terrifies them because they don't understand the benefits. They don't believ...

There's so much craziness in the world. People are stressed out about everything from ISIS and environmental disasters to gun violence and racism. The truly great, successful people know how to be surrounded by this craziness and keep their cool.  They know how to live in the middle of this chaos and still get sh*t done. The MFCEO knows this is a tough task, but he believes it can be done. In this...

"Hey, Andy!  Can you give me some special advice for accomplishing my goals and dreams? My situation is unique."  No.  Stop right there.  According to The MFCEO, nobody's situation is unique. Everybody has disadvantages.  Everybody faces adversity. Success is hard for everybody. So stop making excuses and get sh*t done now.

What tools does The MFCEO use to pursue success?  In this episode, Andy Frisella gets down to the nuts and bolts, outlining his daily practices for maintaining vision, setting goals, dealing with criticism, turning adversity into an asset, and more!

All successful people have at least one thing in common: They know how to make an impact on other people. Whether they are talking to the President of the United States or the bellhop at a low budget hotel, they know how to be friendly, engaging, and how to provide an amazing experience, life-changing experience.  In short: They know how to be memorable.

What's the one word that gets mentioned again and again in our popular culture? What's the one word that people use again and again, to the detriment of their own lives? According to The MFCEO, that word is "fair." The entitlement mentality that says "I deserve better " is destructive. Ungrateful people who compare their situation to others and complain are destined to accomplish nothing. No matte...

This is part 2 of a 2-part series. The MFCEO hears this all the time: "Andy, I'm passionate and hard-working. But I just don't know what to do with my life." While he's addressed this issue in Snapchat and Periscope in short segments, he's never unpacked his thoughts in a systematic, comprehensive way. 

Three days after July 4, 2016, Andy Frisella shares his thoughts on the real threat to our freedom.  It is not a tyrannical government or an attack from ISIS.  The greatest threat to every human being is the bondage of their own mindset, the slavery of their own excuses. According to the MFCEO, regardless of your background, situation, or circumstances, you are free. You are free to be great.

"Andy, I'm passionate and hard-working. But I just don't know what to do with my life." That's a question the MFCEO gets a lot. While he's addressed this issue in Snapchat and Periscope in short segments, he's never unpacked his thoughts in a systematic, comprehensive way. That's what he does is this two part series. This is part one. 

So many people say, "This is my greatest hope and dream...but if it doesn't work out, there's always Plan B." Andy Frisella says, "No!"  There-Is-Always-Plan-B kind of thinking is the mindset of failure. You need to be 100 percent committed. All or nothing.

There is an epidemic in America. From coast to coast, people think they can put in minimal effort and get maximum results. According to Andy Frisella, it doesn't work that way. Showing up is not enough. To be truly successful, you have to take pride in everything you do, pay attention to the details, and if necessary, go twenty extra miles. Put simply, you need to overachieve.

The MFCEO Project isn't just about motivation and success. It is committed to a total transformation of our culture, and very little is more critical to the positive development of people than parents.  As Father's Day approaches, Andy Frisella and the crew talk to Larry Hagner from the Good Dad Project. It's not enough to be the MFCEO of your life. You have to be the MFCEO of your family, too.

What is one of the main reasons most people never do anything significant in life? Because their egos don't allow them to be seen doing something poorly.  They never want people to see them experiencing loss or failure. According to Andy Frisella, you have to be willing to do something badly for awhile before you become good--and eventually great--at it.  That is the natural path to excellence--an...

Andy Frisella and the MFCEO crew discuss that question and provide tips for defeating procrastination and dominating your life without wasting another 24 hours.

Average people have no idea what commitment really costs. They feel good about themselves when they exercise a couple weeks worth of focus and self-discipline. The reality is, true commitment requires a wholehearted investment of everything a person has. It requires a sustained effort over an extended period of time.  True commitment requires a firm "yes," not a maybe. Knowing how to commit is wha...

There are two things in life that utterly destroy your forward progress. The first is holding on to your past victories.  The second is the mentality that says "I will just show up to work and do the bare minimum."  In this episode, Andy Frisella explains why these two things will kill your success—and what you need to do to rid them from your life.

Can one person really make a difference? Can a single man or woman really accomplish anything? In this episode, Andy Frisella talks about why he believes in individuals. From our greatest obstacle to achieving our potential to the supreme effectiveness of our actions, the MFCEO talks about the power and potential of human beings.

If you think humility has nothing to do with success, you're wrong. People who think they know everything and can do everything very seldom accomplish anything. Winning in business and life requires the ability to know what you know and what you don't know, and the commitment to surround yourself with people who help you maximize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses.
