The Success or Excuses Podcast:
Welcome to the Success or Excuses Podcast, hosted by James Fleming, Managing Director of The Power Within Training.
This podcast is for people who are done with the polished stories and empty motivation. It’s about what really sits behind success. The pressure. The setbacks. The decisions that matter when no one’s watching.
James has built his business from the ground up and knows what it takes when things get uncomfortable. But this isn’t about theory or ego. Each episode is a straight-talking conversation with people who’ve lived it. Entrepreneurs, leaders, and individuals who’ve faced failure, owned it, and kept moving.
No soundbites or shortcuts. Just honest conversations about mindset, responsibility, and building something that lasts.
Success or excuses. You decide.
The Book Behind the Podcast
The Success or Excuses Podcast exists because of one belief from James Fleming’s book, You Can Have Success or Excuses; You Cannot Have Both.
This isn’t a motivational read. It’s a straight-talking challenge to the thinking that keeps people stuck. The habits, stories, and excuses that feel justified but quietly limit progress.
James draws on real experiences, pressure moments, and hard-won lessons to show why success always starts with personal responsibility. Change your thinking. Change your behaviour. Change your results.
If you’re ready to stop explaining and start doing, this book is where it begins.
