REAL AF with Andy Frisella

Who needs to validate you? Who needs to approve of your business idea? No one but person looking at you in the mirror every morning. In this Thursday Thunder edition of the MFCEO Project, Andy Frisella shoots it straight: You don't need permission to be great.

Sales expert Andy Frisella discusses the importance of listening, focusing on strengths, showing customer appreciation, and being 'The Guy.' He also emphasizes building relationships in sales, creating the best product, and the changing landscape of advertising.

Do you fear the unknown? Andy Frisella says people get paralysis by analysis because they are constantly asking "What if?" You don't know what's going to happen--and you don't need to. Successful people experience whatever comes--and execute their plan anyway.

You ask, "What's going to happen if I take this risk?" Andy Frisella asks, "What's going to happen if you DON'T take that risk?" According to the MFCEO, successful people think differently about risk. They don't see it as something to be avoid, but embraced.

Everyone believes the competition in business is fierce. But if you think you face overwhelming odds, you're wrong. According to Andy Frisella, only about two people in a hundred actually have what it takes to press on and finish what they started. Will you join the 2 percent?

It's gut check time for entrepreneurs. Do you really want to run your own business or not? If it's not in your DNA, you are unlikely to succeed. In this episode of the MFCEO Project, Andy Frisella tells you how you can really tell you're an entrepreneur to the core--or not.

Prepare to be instructed and inspired. In this episode of the MFCEO Project, UFC prize fighter Tyron Woodley joins the crew to talk about his story and shares his insights for success in business and life. From the tough streets of Ferguson, Missouri to the tough opponents in the Octagon, Tyron has experienced all sorts of adversity - and overcome it.

Perseverance is essential to success. Discussion on the importance of never giving up, rising up in life, and connecting to purpose. Encouragement to stay disciplined and go all 12 rounds. Mention of an upcoming interview with UFC fighter Tyran on capacity, fire, and giving it your all.

In this short episode, Andy Frisella cuts to the point: You could listen to Tony Robbins, Dale Carnegie, or any other success guru 24/7, but if you don't execute, you will do--and be--nothing.

Whether you operate from Los Angeles, CA or Little Flint, MO, Andy Frisella argues that the internet and social media have created a situation in which every business is a small town business. If you want to succeed, you have to think like the owner of an old time general store. Ben Newman and Vaughn Kohler join him in the studio.
