On this flashback episode from 6/12/21, we're going past #Hustle and #Grind, getting into two specific concepts for entrepreneurs, business owners, side hustlers, career builders or anyone pursuing a passion should be utilizing. Ignore the old saying "Work Smart, Not Hard" but instead replace it with "Work Smart, then Work Hard." Do both together in that order.
Work Smart: Have a plan, put a strategy into place and understand your strengths and weaknesses, market condition, your competition, your audience, your value proposition and your selling position. Focus, measure and adjust for what's working (do more of that) and what's not working (do less of that) for repeatable success.
Work Hard: Now that you're informed, organized and focused, put in the work. Otherwise, working hard is just being busy, not actually creating success. Use your smart plan to get the most accomplished in the most complete ways at the highest levels of quality and consistency. Don't cut corners; do the work at every level to ensure an effective outcome. Don't try to work less; work more effectively. Why? Because nothing great ever happened without hard work.
This episode of the podcast explains in deep detail how these concepts work, support each other and lead to sustainable, repeatable success. Let's talk about it! It's Saturday. I'm in the office.

All good things end or change. The process of growth (business or professional) involves utilizing change (adjust, adapt or adopt) to take advantage of opportunities. The #SaturdayMorningHustle has changed many times in the last 300+ weeks, and we're doing it again.
Hustle Culture has also changed, so the SHM is adjusting to that fact now and in the near future. It's not goodbye; it's "let's try something different" for now.

Flashback Episode! We're going back to the early days of the #SaturdayMorningHustle for two episodes from back-to-back weeks that deal with embracing change. This seems appropriate for the recent changes to the SMH.
8/19/17 Change is Good, Pay Attention - Market and audience guide your business, not the other way around. Are you paying attention? Do you know what to look for?
8/26/17 Embrace Change For Growth - In business and life, things change. You can worry about it, or use it to grow your business or self-brand. Take that challenge head-on.

Today, we're embracing challenges - to our systems, to our thought process, to the way we do things - as a benefit, as a sum positive, the same way we embraced change last week.

The successful management of change is a common theme on the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast. You guys have heard me talk about it before. I'm bringing it up again precisely because change is coming in my professional life, which means change is coming to this podcast and you're going to have to deal with change right along with me. So, there's no better reason to revisit this idea today.
Change happens all the time, and even the most routine actions can have the potential to bring about new and different experiences. Successful change management requires an attitude of adaptation, adoption, and adjustment in ways that benefit you and ultimately lead to success. While changes that happen outside of our control can be challenging, how we react to them is in our control.
Consistency is desired, but change is necessary. Everything evolves, and there will be unexpected outcomes and opportunities to grow and do better. Therefore, we should experiment with change, see what works, adopt it and look for new ways to change. Communication is key in change management, and it is essential to communicate changes often and learn from past experiences, both positive and negative. Change can be beneficial, and as long as we embrace it, we can move forward to achieve success.

The great thing about the pursuit of success is everyone gets to define what success means to them. A million $$, a hundred million $$, work/life balance, serving others, etc.....? But don't stop there! What are you going to do with that success once you have achieved it? Let's talk about it. I have a few ideas and an example of someone doing it right.

Good morning, and welcome to a different type of Saturday Morning Hustle podcast. I am all dressed up today. I'm not in my usual Saturday Morning Hustle swag, a t-shirt, sweatshirt, etc. This gives me an opportunity to talk to you on a podcast today about how to set and manage expectations, understanding who you're talking to, who your audience is, and what they need to see and hear from you in order for them to take you seriously and not be focused on small things such as how you're dressed or something else superficial.
You only get one chance to make a first impression once. What matters most is the expectations of the person or group of people you're meeting, collaborating with, presenting to, etc. The number one rule in communication is understanding your audience. Understand who you're talking to and what their expectations are.
So when you have a formal presentation or you're in a meeting with someone who dresses a certain way, I try to accommodate their expectations.

Success is a journey, not a destination; the path is full of unexpected deviations. You can't get too set on an idea of success because "the real world" will change that picture. Don't believe me? Just ask Luguentz (Lu) Dort, the starting shooting guard for the OKC Thunder NBA franchise. His story just might be your story (not really, but we can learn from his unconventional path to success).The key is learning how to balance "sticking with the plan" with knowing "when to get out" of a plan that just won't work BUT not too soon or making major changes too often. It's the ultimate balancing act. Let's talk about it. Original episode 8/20/20.It's Saturday. I'm in the office. This is the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast.

Let's discuss the management lessons we can all learn from the bad guy Brad Wesley in the 1984 cult classic movie Road House. Believe it or not, he brings a lot of excellent management and leadership skills with him. I'm going to break them all down for you today.
He utilized the following business development tools: work-life balance, delegation, strategy first, then action, working from a point of strength, getting your hands dirty, and doing what's necessary when it's necessary (within reason).
Spoiler Alert (c'mon, this film has been out for three decades): Brad Wesley ultimately fails because his motivation (evil) and strategy (destroying all competition at any cost) are flawed. Don't fall into either of these self-imposed traps.
Don't miss Pt1, the Business Process Management (BPM) lessons we can all learn from Dalton in Road House. Patrick Swayze plays Dalton, the newly hired head bouncer (called a Cooler) at a rowdy club that needs a turnaround.

Today, we revisit a long-lost episode of the Saturday Morning Hustle podcast that had technical difficulties and was never posted but it's a good, concise discussion episode you don't want to miss.
A lot of people say they want success. They say they have to hustle. They say they have to grind. But do they really have what it takes to be successful at what they're trying to build? Do they have the patience, the forethought, the talent, and will they really hustle and grind, or do they think it's something easy like they see on TV?
You have to bring something new to the market—something interesting, unique, or different about yourself and how you do what you do—something people can connect to.
Everyone wants immediate success. Guess what? The world doesn't work like that. So, if you want to be successful, you'll have to build it. Nobody can just hand it to you.

After poling the #SaturdayMorningHustle fans on social media this week, you picked "I Take Cold Showers Because Thor Told Me To" as the topic of episode 361. But, this is not a conversation about physical fitness, ice baths or extreme challenges but instead is a deep dive into how you can achieve success via good habits, patiently formed over time, because of a simple change in attitude. "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right." You can determine your success or failure by addressing your attitude towards difficult or unpleasant tasks, applying new actions over time and allowing positive habits to replace negative ones. Let's talk about it on the podcast today. This one might go viral.
Tune in next week for the 2nd place polling option "Management Lessons From Dalton (Patrick Swayze) In Road House" just in time for the remake coming out later this month.

Nearly one week after the 2024 Super Bowl, let's talk about sports metaphors that can be used in any pursuit of excellence. Not lame "Layups" "Touchdowns" or "Game of Inches" metaphors but real wisdom from some of my favorite concepts, including...
Bonus quote from a sports G.O.A.T. Muhammad Ali: "I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion. Don't count the days, make the days count."

Now, start adding to your point A. What do you have in place (assets), what are you trying to accomplish, why are you doing it, etc. Then, do the same for point B. What's the finished product? A painting, a brochure, a website, a better mousetrap maybe? Now, without preconceived notions or "how we've always done it" excuses start connecting A to B. This is the what, how, when, etc. in problem solving. Everything starts with nothing. No BS or reasons why you can't do it. Just work towards your goal.1/20/18 Maximize Your Work Week.

Let's have a conversation about the elements necessary to create and manage a successful budget. There are four items you need to know. I call this your budget T. E. A. M. = Time, Effort, Attention, Money. You need all of these items to be managed correctly in order to properly manage a budget, execute on a budget and create the positive impact necessary to justify your budget.If you approach your budget in this way, don't just look at dollars and cents. Don't just do math. Don't focus only on money. We do that last. Focus on how much time can be allotted, how much effort can be applied during that time, how much attention is needed for that effort to be productive, and how much money will it take to start the process. How much money will it take to manage the process? How much money will we receive through the conversion process and how much money is left (profit).

You have the opportunity right now to be the person you previously needed. Maybe when you were 15, 25, or even 40 you were looking for a mentor. You were looking for someone to answer questions. You now could be that person for someone else. You can be available to someone else. You can help others no matter how old you are, no matter how much experience you have, no matter your station in life.
Whoever you are and wherever you are in life, you can benefit someone else who needs your experience and education, the opportunities you have seized upon and what you've learned from them. Most importantly, the lessons you have learned from your failures. That's right. When I say experience, I don't just mean the winning experiences but also the lessons that come from failures. We've all had more failures than success. I want you to know that. Everyone's had failures.
Many people hear the word mentor, and it's intimidating to them. They think to themselves, I can't be a mentor because I'm not the world's best at something. You might think you don't need a mentor because you are highly skilled or have experience. Both of those are false assumptions.
Anyone and everyone can be a mentor and anyone and everyone can be mentored because we're all at different parts of our journey of success. We all know different things, have learned different lessons and have things to offer to those who have yet to reach the levels we have achieved.
Be the person you needed earlier in life. Be a great boss, be a great coworker, be a friend, be an example, be a mentor. Let's talk about it on the SMH podcast today!

There's no worse regret than "I didn't know you did that." "I didn't know I could hire you for that." You have to tell people what you do for your job and profession, how you get paid, how you create value for others and how you help people with your professional services or products if it's something you genuinely believe in.
This is not a sales pitch or a conversion process. This is not ABC "Always Be Closing". This is a value conversation, which is much better.
Be brave enough to advocate for yourself, your business or brand. If you don't do it for yourself, no one else will. Talk about what you do or what you're working on casually, in an informational way. Be bold and talk about your business or side hustle. Talk about your goals. Talk about your band, art or social media account you're trying to build. Talk about a new degree you're working on because you want to change your career. Talk about things you want to do, get people involved, get people invested. Create relationships and then go from there with a potential for success.
You know me, I'm Kyle Golding. I'm not just the guy behind the Saturday Morning Hustle. I'm also the CEO and Chief Strategic Idealist for The Golding Group, an award-winning think tank of strategic planning, business process management, integrated marketing and public relations consultants. We work with your leadership team to develop strategy, determine the most effective action plans, then execute and measure.
We create processes, systems and protocols that can be measured, adjusted and repeated by incorporating data analysis, market trends and audience feedback in a two-way conversation.
Tell people what it is you do. Tell people how it's different than other options. Tell them the value that you create. Tell them the audience you're looking for. Tell them who gets the best value out of your product or service, how you want to serve them, how you want to create for them, connect with them, build business relationships, etc...
Explain these things to people, but not in a sales pitch. Don't try to sell it directly to them. Just tell friends, tell family, tell casual acquaintances. When you're networking or at a holiday event, when you meet someone and they ask, "What did you do for a living?" don't just say you're in accounting, legal, medical, business, consulting, etc...
Tell them "I own a business; this is what we do. This is whom we serve." If the person listening finds value in that, you might have an opportunity, but they also might know someone or refer someone to your business. If you're going to be in business, if you're going to be a self-brand, if you're going to be a hustler, grinder or an entrepreneur, you got to be comfortable telling people who you are, what you do, the value you create, what's distinct about your business, what's good about doing business with you, why people should pay attention, why they should trust you. You have to be comfortable talking about it, not promotionally, not trying to make money, but being confident in what you do by connecting with people. Try to build relationships that eventually could lead to a business transaction. Put things in the correct order. Be confident. Be willing to do it for yourself, your business and your future success. Let's talk about it on the SMH podcast today!

A #SaturdayMorningHustle Flashback to September 23rd, 2017. The key to business success is how you handle change. Winning comes from making small movements, not large pivots or failure to change at all. Business change can come from losing or gaining a client, losing your best employee or a new competitor entering your market. Do not overreact! Stick to your business plan, strategy and marketing tactics as long as you can until it's evident that you must make a change. The market will tell you when it's time for adjustments.
When you do make changes, do it concisely and decisively. Winning at business means being able to handle change better than the other people in your space. Adapt and adjust. You can't be the "flavor of the week" and try something new all the time, but you also can't stick to "this is how we've always done it" and never make adjustments. Choose a happy medium between the two concepts. Let's talk about it on the SMH podcast today!

Did you know this week was Global Entrepreneur Week? I attended multiple GEW events every day in Oklahoma City based on entrepreneurism about promoting, supporting and developing entrepreneurs here in Oklahoma as part of the GEW Global Entrepreneur Week. So today, I want to talk to you about the similarities, differences and misconceptions about what an entrepreneur is and what a business owner is, how they go together and how they are different.
A lot of people confuse, conflate and misuse the terms “entrepreneur” and “business owner” as something that is synonymous with each other. They feel like it's the same thing, and that's not exactly true. There are some distinct differences. So let's go through that today. Obviously, a lot of entrepreneurs are business owners.
I am an entrepreneur and I am a business owner. I started my first business when I was a teenager and I have continuously owned one or more businesses in the last 37 years since I started my first business at 15. When I started that first business, I didn't understand what being an entrepreneur was. I didn't know I was being an entrepreneur. I did not know what being entrepreneurial meant. But I eventually learned those things and now I have a really good grasp on what it means to be an entrepreneur. Let's talk about it on the podcast today!

I hate to admit it, but there are days I don't feel motivated. I need more inspiration to do great things. But it's better to press through anyway. A bad day at work or a bad day on your hustle and grind, a lesser workout, a less productive afternoon... Whatever it is, it's still better than not doing anything.
A lack of motivation is temporary, but consistency is always beneficial. Just because you're not "feeling it" isn't a good reason to not do the work. Taking the first step is the most challenging part but the most essential.
But you do occasionally need to take breaks and recharge that hustle battery. So, how do we balance all this? What does it mean, and why am I telling you this? Let's talk about it on the podcast today!

In sports, it's good to focus on your competition and to have a game plan for beating them. It's also a lot of fun to add some good-natured animosity, rivalry and trash-talk between players and fans. But in business, that's all a waste of time and a diversion from what you should be focused on to be successful: your strengths/weaknesses, market position and value proposition to attract, convert and retain the best possible audience for how you do business and NOT beating your competition or winning a single sale.
Let's use the OU vs. OSU Bedlam football game today as a metaphor for what not to do in business. You don't have to be a sports fan to get value from this conversation. Give the episode a listen, then let's talk about it.

Recently I spoke to students in the Entrepreneurship Program at Francis Tuttle Technology Center about what makes a good podcast. These students are starting their own podcast soon. The advice I gave them (sharing a specific sample with you today) goes way beyond just podcasts, but this applies to starting a business, content creation, project management or any communication you want to be successful. - Know your Why- Know your audience - Be prepared- Have authentic conversations - Be consistent, with pleasant surprises- Don't sell- Sharing is caring (bonus)Give the episode a listen, then let's talk about it.

A #SaturdayMorningHustle Flashback to July 31st, 2021 talking with you about the value of utilizing vacation time while I'm on vacation (I'm at the lake for a 3-day weekend right now). Taking time off might seem foreign to most entrepreneurs (myself included) but there are plenty of reasons to take the occasional extended break. Not only is a vacation good for your physical and mental health, but it's also the perfect way to clear your head, reduce your stress, recharge your hustle battery and remind yourself why you work so hard to begin with. A planned pattern interrupt can help you be more productive with the hours you put in hustling and grinding. Let's talk about it!

The statement that culture is more important than strategy is ridiculously wrong. It's backward, upside down and complete trash. Some very smart people say this a lot, but today I will tell you why they are wrong to consider strategy second and culture first. Because strategy always comes first! "Culture over Strategy" is one of those statements that drives me insane, and it's one of the few that make me come on the podcast and make an actual whole episode about it. I also covered this on my business podcast on the Strategic Growth Podcast https://bit.ly/StrategicPlaylist
We're talking about what's called corporate culture. I like to call it company culture because people sometimes think corporate culture means you need to be a corporation, which means you need hundreds or thousands of employees. Workplace or company culture can happen between 2 people or 7 or 10 or 42 or 90 or 5000. But you don't need hundreds or thousands of employees to have a workplace or company culture.
Every business starts essentially as an idea, typically an idea for a product. We call it the "back of the napkin" where someone pulls out a napkin or a scrap piece of paper and starts sketching or jotting down ideas or something about a product or service that eventually can be developed into a business model and then can be launched and put into the world.
That's where every business starts with a basic, most basic idea of what the product or service is. People don't necessarily identify what they do next as strategy, but it is. As soon as you start talking about your product (we will call it a widget) or your service, whatever it is that ultimately you're selling, you start asking questions: "Who's going to buy it? Who is this for? Who will appreciate our approach to doing what we're doing?"How are we going to sell it to them? What channels? What's the delivery? How are we going to charge them? How are we going to collect our money? How are we going to pay our people?
All of these questions that you ask yourself in the back of the napkin phase as to how to develop a product that can become a business, as you put a business model behind it all to structure and all the stuff that comes with it. All of those questions you ask are the beginning of the strategic planning process. That's strategy. You'll never develop a product, you'll never build a business model, you'll never build a business, you'll never successfully launch a business without a strategic process. Everything that comes after is based on the strategy, including your company culture.

In 2023, podcasting might be the most impactful, insightful and informative version of communication when you really need to better know, understand or trust someone you are considering collaborating with, hiring or working for. Formal interviews have restraints that the podcast format - solo, interview, group discussion, etc. - just doesn't have. Listening to someone speak on a subject in their own voice and without abundant assistance or notes, allows the listener to best gauge the subject matter expertise of the speaker, their command of the subject and/or their ability to authentically communicate to anyone in the conversation or just listening. Let me know if you agree, disagree or want to add to this conversation.

It's Saturday, but I'm NOT in the office. Today I'm giving you permission to take a break and do something fun. Also, I'm sharing one of my favorite productivity tips. Sunday planning for Monday success. Today is the beginning of college football, and my Oklahoma Sooners are kicking off at 11:00am. I'm taking this Saturday off but I'm still offering you some advice and insights on the podcast today.
My advice: Take a break when you can to enjoy yourself. Then when you get back to work at 110%. My favorite productivity tip is... Sunday planning for Monday success. This is one of my favorite tips because it takes 5 minutes or less. In fact, if you spend more than 5 minutes on it, you've kind of defeated the purpose. Want to know more, listen to the show!
On the podcast today I will explain exactly how to do Sunday planning, how it benefits you on Monday morning and why that's so important. This is the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast. Listen while your competition is still sleeping (or at a football game). https://bit.ly/ListenToSMH

One big mistake most entrepreneurs, business owners and leaders (myself included) often make is not asking for help. We default to the misguided idea that admitting to others we need advice, assistance or guidance is a sign of failure. But in fact, it's the exact opposite. Being open to help is the smartest thing we can do. Today's episode is a deep dive into a recent social media post on this idea. Let's talk about it.
"Friends who own businesses, ask for help. Don't wait until it's too late. Running a business is tough, even for the smartest and most experienced professionals. Ask your support system to buy, refer or collaborate. Let people help or (at least) offer advice when things START to get tough, not when you are completely out of options. This has happened to good friends recently, who could have been saved if they had only asked for help sooner."

Two of the highest rated episode of the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast at Goodpods.com are back-to-back shows from June of 2021 about empathy. Today we flashback to both episodes, because we can all use a little more empathy, understanding and change that comes from communicating with each other in better ways.
We start with "We Need More Empathy in Personal and Business Life" (6/19/21) when I issued a Radical Empathy Challenge to everyone listening followed by "Action After Empathy" from the next week (6/26/21) detailing the value of acting upon the idea of empathy we had discussed the week before. Action is required. Change is an opportunity. Success comes from taking advantage of opportunities. Empathy + Action = Success. Let's talk about it!

In the first 30 seconds of this podcast, I'm going to challenge your assumptions about other people with a simple scenario and question. Why? Because you know what happens when we ASSUME something, right? You make an ASS out of U and ME.

Last month on the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast (Ep318 Priorities And Smart Sacrifices 6/3/23) I talked with you about going to the gym first thing in the morning, even though I hate going to the gym first thing in the morning. So why do I do it? I'm trying to prioritize my health, but also take advantage of an opportunity in my schedule and create good habits for myself. We talked about how that translates into business and other pursuits of success. Today I want to go back to that idea, but I want to talk more about the conversation that's "in your head" when you're actually at the gym. How can that be translated into any pursuit of success? Let's talk about it!

Let's talk about embracing change. The opportunity to grow, to be successful and to do all kinds of positive things comes from embracing change, not just changing when things happen to you, but actively making change.
Embracing change is an opportunity. Opportunity leads to potential success. Challenging yourself and your business means getting outside your comfort zone personally and professionally. Take smart risk - not too wild, not too safe but risks with a desired outcome.

“Embrace the suck” began as a military expression. It can mean accepting a situation as it is and either working to change it or developing the perseverance to get through it. Entrepreneurs and business leaders can utilize this mindset to learn to deal with negative things or take the bad outcomes in stride. Success is built through a series of small actions, some fun and exciting but many suck. If you want to end up on top of the mountain, you must embrace the suck to get yourself there. Let's talk about it!

Today on the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast, let's talk about the domination of the OU softball team. The University of Oklahoma women have just three-peated with three back-to-back-to-back national championships with a 50+ game winning streak, the longest ever. What lessons can we take from that and apply to our business and entrepreneurial pursuits? Patience, persistence, process, practice, teamwork, small wins add up to big wins, learning from losses but not dwelling on them, mid-game adjustments and focusing on things bigger than yourself.

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS OVERNIGHT SUCCESS! You have to work smart and work hard to earn it, even on the weekend. The keys to building sustainable success are Patience, Consistency, Creativity and Collaboration.Why is it so important to build success instead of becoming instantly successful, famous, rich, etc... in today's social influencer-obsessed world of instant gratification? Because you need to build your successful business, brand, or career from the ground up (not go viral) to have the skills and experience to manage, adjust, sustain, and even rebuild it if necessary. In addition, you need to know the steps and create reliable relationships on the way up to keep yourself at (or near) the top.

The very first special guest interview on the #SaturdayMorningHustle is my friend Hoang Lam, host of the Defining Moments Podcast, Founder of Storm Check and CEO of CMM Financial. Hoang created the Defining Moments Podcast because he believes in the power of positive people with unique stories. By sharing them, he hopes to inspire a more positive world and to bring people together. Hoang and his wife Margy Lam started the Defining Moments Podcast as a way to challenge themselves as a team and push each of them out of their comfort zones. We talk about hustle, patriotism and the power of doing big things even if it's scary.

A flashback episode from March of 2018. This a simple message worth sharing again. I have two words for you: Patience and Consistency. When you combine them together, it equals success. The key to being successful and to creating things that are going to really work out for you, in the long run, is to be very patient and deliver consistently.
Patience pays off, consistency pays off and in the long game, being a good person and having a good reputation, with solid ethics that people are aware of because you've been consistent, patient and not trying to just be all about the money pays off.
In the short term, it seems hard to do, but in the long term it works out. It is working out better than I can expect for me, So I'm hoping it can work out just as well for you if you'll practice a little bit of patience, a ton of consistency and think about how to create win-win situations. Take less than you give. If you can give 51% and only take 49%, you'll be fine. Success will find you.

Goals grow businesses. Any business not growing is stagnant or regressing (that’s bad). You have to set goals for your business. Big, hairy, audacious goals. Set your goals high, but they have to be measurable, understandable and potentially attainable. The ultimate outcome of reaching each goal is secondary to your actions attempting to achieve each goal.
Here's the formula: 1) Set Goals 2) Organize as objectives 3) Execute a strategy via tactics 4) Measure outcomes 5) Adjust actions based on response 6) Repeat

Today, we're going to talk about paralysis by analysis or waiting for perfection. Waiting to make a decision is often worse than making the wrong decision. Stop waiting for perfect. Get started, but be prepared to make adjustments once you receive input and feedback from the real world. Change is the key to being successful. Success comes from the best management of change. Why wait?

A failure at something specific like a project, job, running your business, etc... doesn't make you a failure! Failing is temporary. No one is perfect, going through life without failing. After an epic failure, you have to identify the positive things you can take with you and the negative things you would like to avoid, and not repeat in the future. Understand motivation and intent. If you can do all of this, you can rebuild your psyche and your skill set, then create opportunities for yourself to go on to another project, take a different job or maybe even run your own business again. Future success is still available.

It's not enough to tell someone they're going through imposter syndrome. You have to explain why they are not an imposter. You can dispel imposter syndrome in yourself or someone else by giving them examples of past successes and explaining the logic behind the statement, "That's imposter syndrome. You're really good at what you do". Specific examples are the fastest and easiest ways to dispel the imposter myth. Good business leaders understand that struggle is an opportunity to grow, change and adapt to what's needed.
Being successful is a continual management of change, internal and external. You, as the business leader and all the people involved. It's the processes, systems and tools. If you understand that approach, the mindset, and the need to do these things, then there's no possible way you're an imposter. If you or the person you're talking to says "No, I'm not going to do it, I'm shut after that, my way or the highway" they are an imposter. You should call them out on it.

Flashback to one of the most popular #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast episodes originally posted exactly 1 year ago this week featuring "Leadership Lessons From A Batman Bad Guy”. In the latest Batman film, mobster boss The Pinguin actually demonstrates some positive leadership skills (for a criminal). I'm going to break it down, pointing out the good things this boss did, even if he's a really, really bad guy. This might sound like an extreme example of executive decision-making, so I back this up with a real-world example that has stuck with me for years. You can learn lessons from superheroes, super villains and real-world examples that make a connection with customers, clients or employees.

Sometimes life hits you really, really hard. It's important to pause your hustle, focus on what's important and work through the grief process before getting back to the grind.

After the first-ever, 3-week holiday break from this podcast, celebrating episode 300 and a revamp of the program I was planning on telling you all my 2023 plans for the Saturday Morning Hustle podcast and a discussion of hustle culture in '23. But that will have to wait until next week. Instead, I want to talk about mental health. Specifically men's mental health, male stereotypes and the problems that arise from not talking about what's happening in your own head. I'm guilty of not sharing these feelings myself. After the tragic suicide of Stephen "tWitch" Boss on December 13th, I feel compelled to start an important conversation about the mental and physical health of men and our unwillingness to talk about our problems. Being a hustler does not require you work yourself to death. There's no value in that.

Episode 24 of 24 in "Professional Balance" a bonus content series of the Saturday Morning Hustle Podcast. Two years ago, I started this bonus series to have different conversations than the weekly Saturday Morning Hustle podcast. But also as an opportunity to dive deep into the issues that challenge all entrepreneurs, business owners, career builders and decision-makers. "How to balance what seems to be contradictory viewpoints" in business and personal life. More than just work/life balance, we examine a variety of "this or that" scenarios. Today we discuss if you can balance each and every aspect of your life. Optimistic or Pessimistic? Is the Glass half full or half empty? Work hard, work smart or both? Go with the flow or disrupt? Collaborate or go your own way? These are just a few ideas for finding balance, if possible.
Recently on my business podcast, The Golding Group Strategic Growth podcast, my co-host and business partner Pritch Pritchard proposed the idea of "work/life integration" instead of "work/life balance" as a way to better frame the conversation. Balance might be too perfect of an idea to achieve, thus creating more problems than it solves. Instead, how do you integrate all the ideas, factors, possibilities, effects, etc... into your decision-making process? Let's talk about that by looking back at various topics we have covered over the last two years.
This long-form audio-only podcast, posted on the last Monday of every month, is an opportunity to dive deep into the issues that challenge all entrepreneurs, business owners, career builders and decision-makers.

Coffee, donuts and #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast episode 300! This is the last Saturday Morning Hustle of 2022. This is the last Saturday Morning Hustle in this format. Time to make some changes.
All good things end or change. The process of growth (business or professional) is to utilize change (adjust, adapt or adopt) to take advantage of opportunities. The SMH has changed many times in the last 300+ weeks, and we're doing it again. Hustle Culture has also changed, so the SHM is adjusting to that fact today and in the near future.
For the first time in 6 years, I'm taking time off from the SMH. The next episode will be on January 7th, 2023. It's not goodbye, it's "let's try something different" for 2023.

Let's talk about 4 concepts that all go together along with future plans for the Saturday Morning Podcast after episode 300 next week. 1) Timing is everything. 2) All good things must come to an end. 3) Just because you can doesn't mean you should. 4) Consistency is key. “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” — Aristotle

Starting or managing a successful business requires two things that seem in conflict: Understanding your "numbers" (cost, revenue, profit margins, conversion rate, churn, market share, ROI, etc...) to correctly manage the day-to-day operations of your business vs. guiding your business with long-term vision (value proposition, position, passion, customer first attitudes, doing the right thing regardless of return, ethical decision making, investment, etc...) not based on daily economics but the long game of brand, reputation, customer loyalty and sustainability.
How do you balance understanding and activating specific ROI vs. steady, big-picture dedication to mission guided by well-developed strategy, processes and protocols for achieving goals and objectives? What's more important: ROI - Return On Investment or ROIA - the Reality Of It All? When do you follow the numbers, and when do you rely on something more significant for direction? Let's talk about it.
This long-form audio-only podcast, posted on the last Monday of every month, is an opportunity to dive deep into the issues that challenge all entrepreneurs, business owners, career builders and decision-makers. "How to balance what seems to be contradictory viewpoints" in business and personal life. More than just work/life balance, we examine a variety of "this or that" scenarios.

This is the best week of the year! Why? Because we get to focus on being thankful for all we have AND support others as they pursue their idea of success. Thanksgiving, Small Business Saturday + Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday is the best 6-day stretch of the year. Good for us and others like us plus a perfect launch to the last month of 2022. Let's talk about it!

Everyone's talking about famous, successful people doing controversial things in the public eye. There are of course lessons for you and me to learn without making these same mistakes. The overall theme of Elon Musk, Kanye, FTX, SNL, Congress and the rest is.... most things are not what they seem to those of us on the outside looking in (good or bad). SM isn't real. People only share the pretty parts. There is no overnight success, hard things require hard work, the best-laid plans still might fail, even billionaires get it wrong, haters gonna hate, etc... STOP comparing your path to success with other people's rise or fall. Focus on yourself, work at your own pace and control what you can control. Let's talk about it!

We have been talking about change and risks and comfort zones and challenging yourself to rise to higher levels of success. But what keeps certain people from embracing these ideas more? The idea of safety. Being safe (in various ways) is good as a starting point. But you need to understand that what you think of as safety is probably holding you back (or worse). So how do you challenge yourself without hurting yourself? Let's talk about it. • Expect safety from unproductive and/or unnecessary harm but not from all risk
• Risk vs. Reward
• Comfort Zone Trap
• Grow up - Expand your ideas and opinions past yourself

We have been talking about change a lot on the podcast recently. But change only happens if you're willing to take risks. Not just random risks or changes without planning, research or specific expected outcomes. Take smart risks, make smart moves. To be successful, take risks based on your current situation along with your future vision and direction. I'm not just talking the talk, I'm walking the walk and you can too!

Welcome to episode 22 of “Professional Balance” a bonus content series of the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast. You might have heard “If you’re the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room” before. This quote, and many variations of it, have been attributed to various leaders pointing at the importance of surrounding yourself with people who are more intelligent than you — or capable of challenging you to "level up". But, if you're striving to be the best at what you do, it's very possible you might be the smartest person in a room, depending on the circumstance. Being an expert, authority or "smartest" on a particular topic is a good thing. This allows you to provide value or a challenge to the rest of the occupants of the (real, virtual or other) room.
Today we will discuss how to balance when you're the student and when you're the master. It's OK to be the smartest person in the room, just not every room you spend time in. You can have great confidence without being an imposter (last episode) and be a leader while still learning from others.

We embrace the idea of change on this podcast. I talk about change, I explain changes I have made (with lessons learned) and I encourage you to make change a part of your growth dynamic. Some change is exterior and obvious. But often change is internal. Why is the idea of change important? Success comes from the positive management of change. It's not enough to react to changes around you. To be successful, you need to initiate and then manage change to achieve success. In August, I changed my hair (cut 12" off) on this podcast. In September I talked about managing change. In October I told you about an epic fail that changed my perception and process of public speaking. Today, I'm changing everything right here on the podcast.

I like to keep the #SaturdayMorningHustle positive, to be helpful and motivational but today I'm dropping tough love truth bombs to the younger generation at the risk of sounding like an angry old man yelling about getting off my lawn. Young people want to be taken seriously but aren't willing to act seriously or earn the respect they demand. There's an arrogance and a general almost need to be aggrieved in young people today. Specifically, I want to talk about Quiet Quitting, a fear of sarcastic emojis from "old" people and random acts of vandalism as a form of justice. Suck it up buttercup, you need to hear this...

Let's talk about how to start anything. A project, a product, a business. How do you go from idea to success? Supply and demand: Find a niche, solve a problem, present something in a new way or create desire (luxury). No matter what the opportunity is, everything starts in the same place - the simplest version. Start simple, then improve or expand based on real-world feedback. Let's talk about it!

Let's talk about blowing it. Not just a mistake, but screwing up big time. This happened to me last week. I had an opportunity to present my expertise to a room full of top Oklahoma City CEOs and I blew it. The week before that, I missed an opportunity to be "in the right place at the right time" because I chose not to attend an event. The week before that, I missed a great new client by failing to follow up correctly. But, these losses are now fuel for change. I'm making major upgrades to my thought process, self-evaluation and workflow. Not just adjustments but overhauling my ideas about what can and should be done. This has opened me up to new ideas about what I can achieve and how. this losing streak shook me, but I'm actually a better professional now than I was before this. That's the conversation today. Let's talk about using big screwups to resetting your mindset, challenge your systems and swallow a huge helping of humble pie - to make yourself the best version you can be. Maybe even better than you thought you could be.

Welcome to episode 21 of "Professional Balance" a bonus content series of the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast. Today we will discuss Imposter Syndrome. Everyone has had a moment (or 2 or 3 or...) of Imposter Syndrome when they internally doubt themselves. Imposter syndrome is when someone is having success, is put in charge or given a leadership role, etc. but feels like they haven't earned it or are incapable of meeting the expectations. Thus, they feel like an imposter. That's imposter syndrome. It's self-inflicted. It's not necessarily something the world says: "you're not ready" or "you're not good enough" but you're doing it yourself. I have experienced this too. In fact, I had a very recent Imposter Syndrome event that prompted me to talk about it with you today.

For the last few months, we have talked about change, learning from mistakes and sharing your story. I have made major changes and I challenged you to do the same. Now it's your turn to tell your story, share lessons you have learned through experience and show how you have embraced positive changes. Get outside your comfort zone to contribute your insights plus suggest additional topics for future episodes of the SMH podcast. Let's talk about it.
Today we connect of these ideas together: Embracing change. Learning from experiences (good, bad and unexpected). Sharing your story with others (be an example). Challenge yourself to get out of your comfort zone.

Welcome to episode 20 of Professional Balance a bonus content series of the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast. Today we will discuss hiring help for your business vs. doing everything yourself. When do you need additional support and when should you stay entirely in charge of your business? What value comes from collaborating and from retaining control? How can you balance both of these opposite approaches for the benefit of your organization? I have worked on both sides of this equation in many of the roles we will discuss today.

Last week, the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast was all about change. Today we change things up from our usual format to discuss a most-listened-to previous episode (Topic: Everyone Is NOT Your Client) and a rundown of other podcasts I have been a guest on recently. We start the conversation today with Ep4 from 8/12/17. This is one of the most listened to/downloaded episodes of the SMH. We discuss the need to focus on a very specific target audience and not waste your budget (Time, Energy, Attention, Money) trying to make everyone your customer/client. After a clip of the original podcast, I add 2022 advice to the conversation.
We also discuss a few other podcasts I have been a guest on recently.

Success comes from growth, which is the positive management of change. Although too many people avoid change, it's necessary and often beneficial. Changes in your business, career, personal development, relationships, etc. should be embraced as stepping stones to ultimate success.

I was inspired by a small part of this week's University Of Oklahoma Football Coach Brent Venables Press Conference that I have titled "The Definition of Confidence and Personal Growth" and this advice is good for football, business or life. "Our guys feel confident because of the work they put in. That’s where you get your swag and your edge is by the work you put in, not because of people talking about you. Our guys have a genuine edge to them right now. They’re hungry. I love the engagement of this group of players. They’re engaged, as opposed they just going to practice. It’s easy to just go practice. Our guys have been engaged and very purposeful. One day at a time, showing up with goals and a focus about them. This gives you a chance to have daily improvement. That’s been a lot of fun to watch happen, for them to respect what it takes. Because what we're asking them to do is really, really hard." Let's talk about it.

Today's NEW podcast topic is a deep dive into a presentation I did 312 weeks ago: Don't Sell, Build Audience (my social media #ThrowbackThursday this week). Change your mindset, approach and strategy from aggressively selling to developing an audience through relationships, value offers, setting and then meeting expectations (plus more). Let's talk about it!
01:45 People don't like to be "sold"
03:50 Don't sell, offer value
04:24 Connect first, build relationships
05:18 What is a business relationship?
07:00 Listen more, then speak
09:00 Offer value for all
10:47 Establish your Brand voice
13:20 "Your brand story only works when it's true, simple and consistent"
23:00 Move to purchase, not a trick
23:45 Repeat for sustainable success

When you were 7-8 years old, you probably thought your parents, grandparents and any person that was the age you are right now (in 2022) was "old". Today, you don't see people in their 20's or 30's or 40's or even 50's as old, do you? What changed? Your perspective, experiences and (hopefully) empathy for others. How does that apply to success?

Continuing the unofficial "Lifelong Learning" series from June, today I'm talking about how everything is connected in life. Skills, experience, and the lessons learned in different industries all contribute to the professional you are today. I've learned a lot from 35+ years of being an entrepreneur, business owner and professional with multiple career changes that has benefited me in the continual pursuit of success. I started my first business (as a teenager) in the music industry, eventually transitioning into freelance, non-profit and corporate marketing before deciding to start The Golding Group with my business partners. I share the lessons learned along the way with you today. Let's talk about it!

Let's discuss balancing What The Market Wants vs. Disruption in the product development process. Henry Ford is often attributed with the quote “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses” in reference to building the first mass-produced automobile. If Ford had given the market what it wanted, we might not have the transportation and manufacturing technological advances that came from Ford ignoring the demands of the public and building cars for the masses. The original disruptor! But this is most often is NOT the case. Not every idea is viable and not every disruption is embraced. Giving the people what they want is a solid business plan, but innovation comes from breaking rules and forging new paths. How do we find a balanced approach?

Shout out to fellow Okie and super Sooner fan Toby Keith, who announced his battle with cancer earlier this week. This seems like the perfect reason to talk about Toby's song "As Good as I Once Was" and the success lessons that we can glean from it. A lifelong pursuit of success, competing with yourself (not anyone else) and how to add Kobe Bryant's Mamba mentality to your pursuit of excellence. Let's talk about it!

The best time to start is today! No matter what it is you want to do - start a business, follow a passion, change career paths, turn a hobby into a career, etc... There is no such thing as the "perfect" time so stop procrastinating. The idea of perfect is a limit within your own mind. Fear is holding you back. Taking risks is necessary, but there is a smart way to do that. Launch smart and then work hard. Today I'm giving you permission, advice and support to make your dream a reality. Let's talk about it.

A little nostalgia today as I explain lessons learned from seemingly unconnected occurrences from 1985 to 2000 including playing in garage Bands, 90's warehouse raves, music video fails, a chance meeting with Nine Inch Nails and creative business hustle before the internet, smartphones, social media, etc. It all worked out (because we didn't die) long before I know how to utilize these experiences as an entrepreneur. Let's talk about it.

What you should change when a business is failing or a start-up can't get off the ground: Marketing Strategy or Product Fit? Why has your brand not connected with the right audience to facilitate sales? Is it a marketing problem (wrong audience, wrong offer, wrong channel, not clear or consistent, failing to separate from the competition via distinct differentiation)? -OR- Is there a fatal issue with the product or service (design, function. price, delivery, value offer, quality, unmet expectations)?
What is to blame if you're failing, and how do you fix it? Is it marketing direction, product issues or both? Let's talk about deciding what needs to be addressed without losing all the work you have put in up to this point. Let's find a balanced approach.

There is value in podcasting for almost anyone. The biggest questions I get are: Am I too old/young to start a podcast? Does anyone want to listen to what I have to say? What should I talk about on my podcast? How do I get started? Who should be podcasting?
Spoiler Alert! The answers are: No. Yes. Depends on you. Let's talk about it today. There are so many options for your experience, delivery style and budget. Businesses (the brand business owners), entrepreneurs, bands, educators, storytellers, self brands: individuals, artists, musicians, authors, actors, social media influencers, public speakers, etc...

Welcome to the #SaturdayMorningHustle because winners hustle on Saturday. We come in early, we stay late and work on the weekend. Why is that important? Success is a mindset, an attitude and a lifestyle. No overnight sensations. Monday through Friday won't get you to "next level" status. The next "big thing" doesn't happen 9 to 5. If you're trying to make a name for yourself, build a self-brand, launch a start-up, run your own business or be the best at what you do... you have to work! You need drive, determination and support. Work hard, but also smart. Not busy, but effective. Organized and Intentional. Focus on the two things you can control: Effort and Attitude.

"I HATE to lose, but I LOVE to learn new things. They often go together. Find the lesson in every loss to turn it into a victory." How can you do both at once? Success is a growth process. Your love of the game is more important than # of wins. This championship mindset is essential! Let's talk about it today.

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS OVERNIGHT SUCCESS! You have to work smart and work hard to earn it, even on the weekend. The keys to building sustainable success are Patience, Consistency, Creativity and Collaboration. Why is it so important to build success instead of becoming instantly successful, famous, rich, etc... in today's social influencer obsessed world of instant gratification? Because you need to build your successful business, brand, or career from the ground up to have the skills and experience to manage, adjust, sustain, and even rebuild it if necessary. In addition, you need to know the steps and create reliable relationships on the way up to keep yourself at (or near) the top.
Did you know this Saturday is the 6th Anniversary + 1 week (313 weeks) of my first social media post using the #SaturdayMorningHustle hashtag? Also, today is the 264th podcast episode (248 Saturday episodes + 16 bonus Balance Series episodes). So let me tell you the lessons I have learned from 313 weeks of developing the #SaturdayMorningHustle brand using the four keys mentioned earlier.

Let's discuss the true nature of competition. Which is more accurate: Your only competition is yourself vs. market factors (competition, audience, etc) should drive your decision-making process? Can you do both at the same time, and if so how? Where is the balance of internal processing vs. external factors? How much control do you really have? When is it more important to pay attention to what's going on around you?
How can you balance these two very different philosophies to create your own realistic, impactful and motivational strategy for not just dealing with competition but embracing the challenges? Let's talk about it.

What is Business Process Management (BPM) and how can it benefit your business? BPM is an absolute dedication to the continual improvement of everything that makes up your business! To start, Golding Group (my business) Definition: Business Process Management (BPM) is a strategic approach to aligning company workflow, procedures, communication and human assets (talents) to create the most effective, efficient and manageable systems for sustainable business growth and longevity.
BPM is a strategic approach to creating effectiveness, efficiency and dependability in the execution of business activity. By focusing on ALL processes necessary for day-to-day operations, you (business leader) can better manage your business outcomes. BPM creates the opportunity for constant improvement via communication, measurement and adjustment of internal and external processes. These improvements translate to efficiency in developing, creating, and delivering products and/or services.

The often misunderstood concept and execution of Business Development is our topic this episode. Business Development (Biz Dev.) is NOT the simple idea of developing leads for sales. Instead, business development is improving your business by developing systems to maximize effectiveness and efficiency. Every aspect of a business (internal and external) can be improved, reviewed and improved again.
Why is that important? There are 2 ways to create profitability. 1: Creating efficiency (lower internal cost). 2: Driving sales (more cash flow from external customers). Internal efficiency is much more controllable and won't interfere with customer experience or expectations. Dedication to business development reduces waste, improves productivity and creates efficiency.
Success doesn't happen by accident. You must actively develop systems: rules, processes, guidelines, best practices and (most important) protocols for operations. That is business development. More on systems next week when we talk about Business Process Management (BPM) in part 5 of this series.

What do we do now that we have attention, attraction and a call to action (series episodes 1 and 2)? Begin a sales transaction focusing on Customer Service before, during and after the conversion process. Replace traditional sales with a dedication to providing customer service. No one wants to be "sold" (as a verb). However, you can sell more by not actively selling but instead utilizing the Golden Rule or Servant Leadership concepts of customer-first service for satisfaction and loyalty. Focus on creating appreciation, not a sales opportunity.
If your marketing strategy is well-designed (position, value proposition and focused audience I.D.), sales do not need to be forced. Instead, the right people will want to do business with you for all the right reasons. Go beyond a single sale to repeatable, sustainable, predictable and bankable sales while building a solid reputation and creating brand ambassadors (the best sales tool ever). Focus on people, process (exceed expectations) and create a profitable business.
Next Week: Part 4 - the often misunderstood concept and execution of Business Development.

Mass Communication is speaking into existence the vision of the marketing strategy via advertising, public relations, internal and external communication. Advertising grabs your attention, conveys information and delivers a call to action into your daily routine. Public relations, often referred to as earned media, is not a sale activity but does build trust, name recognition and partnerships in ways advertising can't. Internal and external non-sales communication is essential to a productive and effective organization. All of these communication forms lead to the same end result: functional connection and interactions between your business and your audience.

Welcome to episode 15 of "Professional Balance" a bonus content series of the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast. On this episode, we will discuss building a collaborative community vs. leadership of an idealistic visionary vs. not giving a F*@% about other people's opinions. How can you balance working with others, closely or as part of a group, while retaining control over your process and individually? Can you lead and follow at the same time? Can these seemingly opposite ideas be balanced, and if so, how?
No one can do everything, know everything and manage all the aspects of a business at the same time. This is why collaboration, delegation and partnerships exist. We need other people with different skills, experiences and perspectives to add to our entrepreneurial pursuits to be successful. No one has ever risen to great heights by themselves. BUT, many great ideas have been spoiled by too many cooks in the kitchen. The biggest and most successful (because they are disruptive) come from charismatic visionaries who control everything. Every great team has a leadership core, but other employees and fans, customers, family, friends and random strangers on social media all want to add their "2 cents" by providing advice, ideas, etc. So how do we balance all the "noise" with good ideas?

NO SPOILERS! In the NEW Batman film, mobster boss The Pinguin actually demonstrates some positive leadership skills (for a criminal). I'm going to break it down, pointing out the good things this boss did, even if he's a really, really bad guy. This might sound like an extreme example of executive decision-making, so I back this up with a real-world example that has stuck with me for years. Shout out to Chef Bruce Rinehart of the Rococo Restaurant Group for this how-to-do-it example. You can learn lessons from superheroes, super villains and real-world examples that make a connection with customers, clients or employees. Let's talk about it.

I'm exhausted, but I'm in the office today recording the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast. Why am I here, and why did I share that information with you? Because I keep it real. It's important to share success and high points and discuss when things aren't going well because it happens to everyone.
The key to success is finding positives in negatives. It's OK to admit when you are tired. Take a break and recharge your batteries. Break routines (activity, order) but not habits (actions, process, consistent growth).
It's also a good idea to interrupt patterns to stay productive, not skipping out on work but making sure you're working smart. Even gym rats like the Rock have rest days and cheat days. Focus on being productive, not busy.
If you need a break, take a break. Then, come back stronger, more focused and ready to achieve great things. Let's talk about it.

Welcome to episode 14 of “Professional Balance” a bonus content series of the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast. On this episode, we will discuss giving your boss or client gets what they want vs. guiding them to the “best” results. There is a lot to balance here: Leadership, expertise, ego, chain-of-command and professional ethics. Are you better served by doing what the boss wants (they are in that position for a reason) or staying strictly dedicated to best practices and highest potential for positive ROI? Do you "just follow orders" to get along and not rock the boat with the fear of potential failures (that probably falls back on you) or do you change the approach through conversation, education or even manipulation? How do you pick your battles and when is "good enough" actually good enough? There are several checks and balances you can put into place to make sure.

Welcome to episode 13 of “Professional Balance” a bonus content series of the Saturday Morning Hustle podcast. On this episode, we will discuss the lifetime value of mentoring - balancing providing mentorship to others and receiving mentoring yourself. This process is ongoing, often changing and lifelong in pursuit of success through personal and professional growth, understanding and commitment. No matter who you are or what level of personal and professional success you have achieved, you can and should be a mentor for those in pursuit of your current status and be mentored by those you are inspired by on the path to ultimate success. Doing both brings value to all involved, pushes you out of your comfort zone (because nothing great happens in your comfort zone) and creates opportunities for everyone involved.
This long-form audio-only podcast is posted once a month as an opportunity to dive deep into the issues that challenge all entrepreneurs, business owners, career builders and decision-makers. "How to balance what seems to be contradictory viewpoints” in business and personal life. More than just work/life balance, we examine a variety of “this or that” scenarios.
I just discussed the concept of mentoring as a small part of building teams, creating win-win situations and elevating others as a part of your BIG PICTURE path to success on the last SMH podcast https://anchor.fm/satmorninghustle/episodes/The-Power-Of-Mentoring-SaturdayMorningHustle-e1djpim 2 days ago. But today I want to go deeper into the concept of mentorship from both perspectives - giving and receiving - and how to balance both.
Thanks for listening to the “professional balance” bonus content series of the Saturday Morning Hustle podcast. I will be back next month with a new topic, and new podcast every Saturday with Hustle and Motivation advice from the office while the competition is still sleeping. Please subscribe, leave a review and make a comment on social media about what balance issues you would like to hear discussed on this series.

Challenges (Covid shutdowns, supply chain delays, competition, cash flow, etc...) are everywhere and happen every day. Challenges create the opportunity for success, thus.... success is everywhere, every day if you know how to make the most of it.
Think of it this way: Change is your response to Challenges. Opportunities come from the management of Change. Success comes from capitalizing on Opportunities. Continual success equals business growth. I will explain in detail how to change your attitude, approach and execution to create success from challenges.

Welcome to episode 12 of “Professional Balance” a bonus content series of the Saturday Morning Hustle. On this December 27th, 2021 episode, we will discuss balancing Defending Yourself vs. Being Defensive. This discussion can be utilized to protect your personal reputation, self-brand or business interest. In the age of "cancel culture" you really need to understand how to balance telling your side of a story without validating, extending or weaponizing what other people might say about you in person, online or via the media. What is the balance of passive or aggressive when addressing issues IF you even address them at all?

Setbacks are chances to learn and improve if you understand the process.

Business Ethics are not just for College Football Coaches, but anyone in business as an investor, owner or employee. You have control of your ethics, which can benefit your self-brand. - This is much more than a business issue but a real-life, real-world idea that never fails if you remember: - Nothing good comes from dishonesty
You don't need to tear down others to create success for yourself
Enough success for everyone
Open yourself up to better opportunities without selling your soul

Welcome to episode 11 of “Professional Balance” a bonus content series of the Saturday Morning Hustle. On this November 29th, 2021 episode, we will discuss how to balance investment in branding with managing a realistic budget for a business - startup, current or pivoting. How much time, effort and economics should you dedicate to your business brand and marketing assets before it becomes burdensome or unproductive? What level of image, substance and professionalism is necessary for a brand to connect with, relate to and develop working relationships with target audiences, collaborators and service/support networks? Where can you strike a balance between "best foot forward" and "stop planning, start doing" for your business? What is the balance between consistency to the current brand and adjusting to the market? When does dedication and familiarity become inattention or neglect of your brand?

The key to keeping your favorite podcast, social media or video series going is feedback. Tell content creators what you think and how what they produce affects your life (good or bad). When you provide feedback, online or in person, you are more than a consumer of content - you're in a conversation, a collaboration. Get more of what you want by telling people how it makes you feel.

People like to know what to expect from a business + be pleasantly surprised at the exact same time. The key to success is balancing the two. Branding and Marketing should create expectations you must then meet (execution on delivery). Product/Service (value offer) needs differentiation - an alternative to what's already available in the market. Provide something exciting, deliver with consistency. Let's talk about it.

Welcome to episode 10 of “Professional Balance” a bonus content series of the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast. On this October 25th 2021 episode, we will discuss balancing Self Reliance vs. Collaboration. How can an entrepreneur or business owner balance their inherent attitude of "doing it myself" or the need to pay someone else to do what you can do yourself vs. the value add of saved time, maximized efforts, attention to details, etc... that comes from delegation? When do you break the habit of working cheaper and faster on your passion project in order to expand capabilities, capacity and growth potential?

A very common theme for business owners, nonprofit orgs, community leaders, event planners, etc... over the last two weeks has been change management. This has led me to offer this advice on building, achieving and sustaining viable operations: “Plan for success, prepare to manage change”. It's a simple idea, but there are many, many moving parts and seemingly conflicting (it's not really) concepts in action at the same time. I'm here to break it all down for you. Let's talk about it.

As important as the #SaturdayMorningHustle is, it's equally important to do things you really like to do with people you care the most about. It's OK to occasionally choose to not work, BUT if you always choose entertainment or leisure instead of putting in the extra work, maybe being an entrepreneur, business owner, etc. isn't the life for you. Be honest with yourself.
But, if you are a hustler, you need to pay attention to my 5 Step Success System to develop the proper balance in your work and life. Work smart, then work hard.
04:08 #1. Avoid burnout and slowdowns
06:38 #2. Productive, not just busy
07:51 #3. Work/Life balance to stay motivated
10:18 #4. Proper motivation
13:32 #5. The big picture, because it won't happen overnight
(That takes you back to 1)

Today I answer all your questions about the #SaturdayMorningHustle concept, social media post and podcast Ask Me Anything (AMA) style.
What is the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast about? Who is the podcast intended for? What's a good episode for first-time listeners to check out? What have been some challenges and lessons learned in the production of your podcast? Any behind-the-scenes stories you wish to share? What do you hope people will take away after listening to your podcast?
Links for first-time listeners: The SMH is 50% business advice and 50% motivation. For business advice, the episode “Stop Celebrating Failure, Make Changes Instead” https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stop-celebrating-failure-make-changes-instead/id1268398101?i=1000434837110 is very popular. The episode I recorded the day after TEDx OKC https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inspired-by-tedx-oklahoma-city/id1268398101?i=1000434291347 that had a ton of motivational advice. The first “real” episode from August 12th, 2017 “Everyone Is Not Your Client” https://anchor.fm/kyle-golding/episodes/Everyone-is-not-your-client-e1010i set up the format and expectations of the series really well.

When you own a business, you get lots of "advice" from lots of people. When someone tells you they can help your business, ask them how. Not in generic terms, but what specific strategy, tactics, measurements and expectations they recommend. Ask them to be specific.
Avoid: guaranteed sales
Avoid: "this one weird trick"
Avoid: can't-miss, too good to be true, etc...
Avoid: one-size-fits-all solutions
Instead, look for sustainable, adaptable learning (data input, analysis and adjustment). Anything else is selling you a "box" that's too generic to help. #SaturdayMorningHustle Advice: There is no singular way to be successful. What works for one doesn't always work for others. Let's talk about it.

It's not you vs. the world, it's you vs. you. Don't look at competition as a limit to your success, but instead use that motivation to be the best version of you / your business. It's easy to do if you follow my #GILF system: Grow, Improve, Listen, Focus. Instead of worrying about what your competition is doing, focus on what you do best in relation to your most likely target audience. Let's talk about it.

Today is not the typical Saturday Morning Hustle. Instead of talking about how to hustle and grind your way to success, we will focus more on reflection, commemoration and memorialization of the tragic events of September 11th, 2001. We have to challenge ourselves to find commonality and community in everyone we meet in order to better understand each other and realize we have more in common and not.

The best way to build a successful business is to develop a sustainable audience. It's a multi-step process that takes patience, consistency and process. But once established, a loyal audience is highly profitable. Let's take about audience development on the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast!
00:19 Unless you’re selling oxygen, “everyone” is not your audience
01:20 Focus as much as possible
02:30 Don’t worry about everyone, just “most likely to buy”
03:45 Every "No" gets you closer to the right audience
08:15 Find your target, then work center-out 1 degree at a time
10:25 Exception: 80/20 rule
11:50 Why experiment?
12:50 Conversion Process
13:11 The importance of using the right strategy and tactics

Welcome to episode 8 of “Professional Balance” a bonus content series of the Saturday Morning Hustle. On this August 30th, 2021 episode, we will discuss the similarities, differences and balance of being an entrepreneur and a business owner. Technically I’ve been both. I started my first business as a teenager but had no concept of what an entrepreneur was or did. Now, I consider myself an entrepreneur first and a business owner secondarily.
The commonality between entrepreneurs and business owners might seem obvious, but the differences and balance between each take a deeper conversation. This isn't a better or worse comparison, but offering a different perspective and deeper understanding of the importance of entrepreneurism, business ownership and the people we work with and serve.
Professional Balance is a bonus content series of the Saturday Morning Hustle podcast. This long-form audio-only content will be posted on the last Monday of every month as an opportunity to dive deep into the issues that challenge all entrepreneurs, business owners, career builders and decision-makers. "How to balance what seems to be contradictory viewpoints” in business and personal life. More than just work/life balance, we examine a variety of “this or that” scenarios.
I will be back on the last Monday of next month with a new topic in addition to new #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast every weekend with #Hustle, #Motivation and #EntrepreneurAF advice while the competition is still sleeping. Please subscribe, leave a review and make a comment on social media about what balance issues you would like to hear discussed on this series.

Have you ever had writer's block? Have you ever frozen up before a room full of people? Have you been on a deadline and you just don't know what to write, say or do? The truth is, it's happening to me right now. I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes unscripted look at how podcasts are made when you don't have a script. It's not the best content ever produced, but it is the most authentic.
Watch and learn from my process as I make mistakes, but also strive to create value and consistency while keeping it real.

Welcome to episode 7 of “Professional Balance” a bonus content series of the Saturday Morning Hustle. On this episode, we will discuss Working Smart and then Working Hard. You need to do both, in that order but how do you balance how much attention, budget (energy and economic) and emphasis each side of this equation. Working hard without working smart will keep you busy, but not necessarily effective. But waiting to execute until you have the "perfect" plan won't accomplish anything. How do we balance these two aspects of accomplishment? Nothing great in this world happened without hard work, so why not be smart about it?

We talk a lot on the #SaturdayMorningHustle Podcast about how to be successful, but today I'm talking about the quickest way you can screw everything up: Lack of attention to detail! Even when the big stuff is correct, the little things can unravel it all. Sad but true! The worst part: These are the easiest things for you to control. That's what makes it frustrating for your consumer.
Try harder, care about the customer, have empathy and be a professional at all times. That's all anyone wants. Put yourself in their shoes - it's easy to do if you try. Set and then meet expectations. That's all you have to do. Failure in details undermines that concept. So make details a priority. Here's how:
• Training
• Leadership
• Call out mistakes, but be constructive
• Educate, empower and engage your team
• Explain why it's important, how it affects the bottom line
• Give your team a sense of ownership, pride and opportunity
• Organically develop a corporate culture based on attention to detail and commitment to the customer
Success starts internally and then extends externally. Accomplish the small stuff, and your business/brand can flourish. Ignore the details, and the likelihood of failure is high. Let's talk about it!

Simone Biles, the winner of 30 Olympic and World Championship medals, fell off the balance beam at the Olympic trials earlier this week. Even the best champions slip and fall. What did she do next? Exactly what you expect a champion to do. She got right back up and did it perfectly, winning the competition and securing her spot on the Olympic team. What is the lesson for us mere mortals? Everyone slips. The reaction and adjustment are what's important. There's more work to be done; success is still possible. That's the process for everyone, even a G.O.A.T. like Simone Biles!

Welcome to episode 6 of “Professional Balance” a bonus content series of the Saturday Morning Hustle. On this episode, we will discuss the role of "the boss" in a business. The owner, President, CEO, etc... and how hands-on or hands-off they should be in daily operations, specifically in humble tasks such as cleaning up random messes, taking out the trash or making coffee in the morning. The question of how to balance these concepts: The boss should Always or Never make the coffee. Making the coffee will be the term used for any non-regular task or duties that many CEO types might consider "below them" but employees might have a different opinion. Most people can think of a boss who was willing to do anything and everything and also a boss that would never consider such things. Which boss is the right boss, and how can a modern CEO balance these two opposing concepts.

There is too much division because of an unwillingness to meet in the middle or even consider what the "other" person is saying and why. What we need more of is empathy for each other. This applies to community, personal life and business relationships. Disagreement is not an attack. Try listening, not just hearing and talking at each other. There’s too much arguing to overcome objections. Instead, we need more active listening to understand each other and expand our own perspectives. We all have more in common than what’s different. The discussion is the point - listen, empathize and find commonality BEFORE trying to argue. Let's talk about it!

We're going past #Hustle and #Grind, getting into two specific concepts for entrepreneurs, business owners, side hustlers, career builders or anyone pursuing a passion should be utilizing. Ignore the old saying "Work Smart, Not Hard" but instead "Work Smart, then Work Hard". Do both, together in that order.
Work Smart - Have a plan, put a strategy into place, understand your Strengths and weaknesses, market condition, your competition, your audience, your value proposition and your selling position. Focus, measure and adjust for what's working (do more of that) and what's not working (do less of that) for repeatable success.
Work Hard - now that you're informed, organized and focused, put the work in. Otherwise working hard is just being busy, not actually creating success. Use your smart plan to get the most accomplished in the most complete ways at the highest levels of quality and consistency. Don't cut corners, do the work at every level to ensure an effective outcome. Don't try to work less, work more effectively. Why? Because nothing great ever happened without hard, smart work.
We're going into deep detail on this episode of the podcast how these concepts work, support each other and lead to sustainable, repeatable success. Let's talk about it!

Today we're talking about two cohesive concepts recently discussed on my business podcast The Golding Group #NeoMarketing Podcast Ep119: "Success comes from the management of change" "Change is an opportunity" For the last 18 months, we all have been subjected to a great deal of change. Some people were affected more than others by the changes forced upon us by the COVID-19 global pandemic. Now, more changes are happening as restrictions are being lifted. So how do we make the most of the opportunities coming from these changes? Let's talk about it!

I have had an unusual career path up to now. When meeting new people, I'm often asked how I got into the profession I'm in, why I decided to start my own business (more than once) and how I knew that I would be great in a new career. The short answer is "I didn't know" if I could be successful in different career fields or as an entrepreneur until I took the risk and put myself out there. Let's talk about the skills, attitudes and mindset for being able to see great rewards from taking risks, putting yourself forward in the best way and pursuing your passions.

A true key to success is not just focusing on the big items, but the small stuff too. Committing to making every aspect of a business process the best it can be is essential to earning and keeping great clients/customers. Your attention to detail, or lack of it, will show how serious you take your business, your audience and the process. Don't mess everything up right at the point of conversion by letting those small effort, small cost details slide. Pay attention and show you care. Let's talk about it.

Spring is a rebirth of life after a hard winter. A perfect metaphor for business in 2021 after the COVID-19 pandemic. To survive, we all have had to make a series of changes. Some small, some big. Every business leader had had to adapt, adopt or pivot their business model in regard to the limitations of COVID-19. But don't be too hasty to go "back to the way we have always done it" and forget the lessons learned over the last 12 months. Success comes from managing change. The key to moving your business forward post-Corona Virus is listening to your audience. Consumers will show you the way with behaviors and feedback - if you're willing to listen.

The key to success? Developing an attitude of always giving without expectations. Be known as a trusted partner who provides value. Collaborate and help as many people as possible, without first thinking about profit and personal gain. When it comes time to get paid what you're worth, you can feel confident in asking for your due. Give more than you take. Orient yourself to serve others, and people will always want to do business with you. Long money is smart money. Let's talk about it.

In sports, you run drills at practice. Doing the same skill set over and over until you become a master. In music, you play the same piece as many times as necessary to get it right. The same ideas can apply to business. You need to challenge yourself with drills designed to make you think, work on your process and continually improve. This is "extra" work outside what you do on a regular basis, but intentionally just for you to utilize for improvement. Prepare, practice and improve your process just like a pro athlete in the film room after every game, the gym working on conditioning and running individual and team drills between games.

After a year of stress, struggle and loss from Covid-19 we need to talk about the resiliency that one learns from tragic events. In business and in life, lessons are often learned from setbacks and failures. Following that logic, the most terrible events - the worst day of your life - can teach the biggest lessons of all. No one wants to endure such terrible occasions, but these things still happen. You can let it cripple you, or you can move past these awful occurrences a better person. We all have something that's the worst thing that's happened in our lives, and many things that seem the end of the world in the moment. We have all lived through them even when we thought we couldn't. What doesn't kill you will make you stronger - if you embrace the process. Let's talk about it.

There's a lot of advantages of keeping things simple. Not basic or incomplete, but minimal. It's easier to get started, manage complex issues and develop a working strategy if you start with the simplest version and work forward from there. A complete idea can start as a very simple thought that goes through many updates, upgrades and iterations before finalization. You don't need to have everything to get started, just a basic version.

To be successful, you have to embrace the idea of creating value for others increases your value. This can be done through your work process, by being a solid role-model, by telling your story, by giving back through teaching and mentoring. That's our focus today.
Just this week I had an opportunity to participate (via Zoom) in a Q/A with students in an Entrepreneur program at a local university. We discussed my 35-year entrepreneurial journey from teenager to today and I provided answers to great questions like my favorite Golding Group client marketing tactics, 3 skills every entrepreneur needs, how to begin the audience development process and much more. Almost a full hour discussion of all things entrepreneurial.

A follow up from last week's episode "The #SaturdayMorningHustle #BTS Story with Brand Building Advice". This week, we're talking about things to focus on and things to avoid. Specifically, building an audience authentically and organically by not buying followers or creating fake personas and avoiding the ideas of "going viral" or becoming an overnight sensation online. Instead, patiently build a sustainable self-brand that can be developed and managed through audience feedback and consistent growth. Bonus: How to be inspired by other successful self-brands without plagiarizing.

How often do you have one of those days/weeks when nothing goes right? It's OK, we've all been there. But, you can create positive actions from interrupted workflow if you just remember to focus on what you have complete control over: your effort and your attitude.
Proficient professionals start with a plan: to-do (actions) list, goals, objectives and priorities. The idea is to get started, work smart, work hard and create successful outcomes. But, we also run into unexpected delays and distractions. The keys are to not lose your cool, adapt as much as needed when and where needed, communicate to those involved (the client, your boss, co-workers, vendors, collaborators, etc.) and remember the bigger picture. However you got off track - big chunks or small increments - work back towards your plan in that same way. The way you plan for success can be implemented into turning unproductive times into better-than-expected periods.

It's the day after Christmas and less than a week until New Years' Eve/Day. Today's #SaturdayMorningHustle is not about #Hustle and #Grind but being focused on what's really important and setting yourself (and everyone around you) up for real, sustainable success. The keys are staying motivated for all the right reasons (and avoiding all the wrong reasons) and understanding that success is part of a cycle, not a destination.
The best way to achieve success is taking the right approach, having the right attitude and understanding how the process really works. That's what we're talking about today. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

It's the last #SaturdayMorningHustle before Christmas 2020. Everyone has the giving spirit because everyone knows it's better to give than receive. That applies to entrepreneurs and business leaders as well. No matter who you are or how much experience, talent or knowledge you have there are people who need you mentor to them the same way you hope more successful people would mentor you. It's a two-way street of getting by giving. Not sure what it all means? Listen to find out.

Doing a deep dive on the #SaturdayMorningHustle via a #Flashback episode from 2018 on Accountability, Character and how to measure the value of ethical decision-making in your business.
It's that time of year, everyone is playing nice for Santa (or their boss). But were you a good person all year, not just in December? Do you make decisions based on what's best for all or just you? Do you have character? Do you do the right thing, even if it's unpopular or even gets you into a tough situation? As we end the year let's talk about accountability, starting with character. You either have it, or you don't. I hope you understand why it's important. Listen to find out.

I once heard a sportscaster explain "how to win a game" in such a basic way it was comical to me. But after some time thinking about this overly simplistic explanation of winning, I found it to be brilliant - if applied to motivation and problem-solving. What was this simplistic advice and how can we use this idea for our #SaturdayMorningHustle you might ask? Listen to find out.

We will let the fortunes start the conversation, both about the benefits of failure, but I'm changing the "F" word definition to make it more compatible with a conversation about the pursuit of success. After all, it's only a failure if you quit (for good). How does this all come together? Listen to find out.

Flashback #SaturdayMorningHustle expanding on this Idea from a 2016 social media post: "You have to create your own opportunities for success. Get to work while your competitors sleep." Life and business isn't "fair" so why not tip the scales in your favor by coming in early, staying late and even working on the weekend while your competition is still in bed? After all, Effort is on the two things you have complete control of. Listen for details and how to apply this philosophy to your pursuits.

Flashback 3 years ago this week with full detail this ep: "The #SaturdayMorningHustle is all about staying positive, but today we need to talk about adversity. When life throws you a curveball or roadblock at you don’t take it personally. It’s just business. It happens to everyone. It may not be fair, but that’s how things go as an #Entrepreneur or #BusinessOwner. Opportunity comes from change, so embrace your adversity and create positives from negatives. Find strength in weakness. Above all, no crying, complaining or 'why me' when things don’t work out the way you wanted or needed them to. You get a whole lot more No’s than Yes’s in business. Keep your head up. Get back to work."

I hate to tell you this on the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast, but you suck! We all do actually. At the beginning that is, the first time you try something. So, if we all suck as beginners, why are you letting that hold you back from trying something new or improving on yourself? Go from terrible to proficient to eventually an expert and ultimately to a master by focusing on getting better, not on failing.

Another #SaturdayMorningHustle Flashback topic from 3 years ago: Focus for Success! Harness the power of focus to create successful opportunities for yourself. Never do something simply because you “can” or because there’s money to be made. Instead, focus on activities you have passion for it. Don’t chase money, because it never works out correctly. Stay in your lane. Stay focused.
One of the excuses I often hear for not focusing on a singular or small set of activity is missing opportunities. But not focusing most often takes a business in too many directions at the same time. Focus on your core offerings instead of diluting your brand your message and your communication. Be the best at what you do, not a jack-of-all-trades / master of none.

Give yourself permission to take a break. That's right, the #SaturdayMorningHustle is good with the idea of taking a break (occasionally). Sometimes you can get more done after recharging your batteries. The only thing you can control is your effort and your attitude, but even that has its limits. You must always be striving to first #WorkSmart before you #WorkHard to maximize efficiency and impact. That can include taking a step back for 5 minutes, a half day or a long 3-day weekend to gain perspective, clear your head or just regain your strength. This isn't the normal operating procedure, but the random reset we all need from time-to-time. After all, Labor Day is a holiday (DAY OFF) to celebrate the work you do on a regular basis.

There is a LOT happening in the world around us right now that's completely out of our control. So what are we supposed to do about it?
Focus on what we can control (improve) and create enough positive actions at the grassroots level to push back on all the negative things we have no control over. How, you might ask. With this simple formula: Communication -> Connection -> Empathy -> Understanding -> Collaboration -> Solutions. Need to know more? Listen up. We're starting a bottom-up push of positivity, community and problem-solving. Join the conversation.

Continuing on the #SaturdayMorningHustle theme from last week: Success is a journey and not a destination and the path is full of unexpected deviations. Today on the podcast, I'm using my own long and winding journey from my first business (when was only 15) in the music industry to where I am now as the head of a strategic planning and business development consulting firm. The path between the two is not anything I had planned, but being adaptable and keeping myself moving in the right direction ultimately offered the potential for personal and business success.
The key is learning how to balance "sticking with the plan" with knowing "when to get out" of a plan that just won't work BUT not too soon or making major changes too often. It's the ultimate balancing act.
Last week, I talked about Luguentz (Lu) Dort, starting shooting guard for the OKC Thunder NBA franchise. His story just might be your story (not really, but we can learn from his unconventional path to success).
Not sure what I mean? Let's talk about it.

Success is def. a journey and not a destination. Why? I will tell you today on the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast. You can't get too set on an idea of success, because "the real world" will make changes to that picture. Don't believe me, just ask Luguentz (Lu) Dort, starting shooting guard for the OKC Thunder NBA franchise. His story just might be your story (not really, but we can learn from his unconventional path to success).
Not sure what I mean? Let's talk about it.

It's a very meta #SaturdayMorningHustle sharing advice I was given about the Saturday Morning Hustle brand, future and achieving possibilities. Today I'm sharing input from a trusted advisor who "called me out" in the most constructive way possible in regard to me being serious about the SMH podcast, social media, website, products and overall brand without losing what it is that makes the concept behind the hustle so important. By doing a better job on the business side, my #SideHustle just might become more important and impactful to more people.
I will translate the advice my friend gave me into actionable steps you can take for your career, self-brand, artistic or entrepreneurial pursuits.
A Self-Brand should be treated as a business
You might be too close to see the big picture
Collaboration and outside input is essential
No excuses (duh!)
and I add a few more ideas of my own to round out this discussion.
Challenges are always good
Strive for more, but be yourself
Leave your comfort zone, but not your ethical limits
There is no perfect time to start
Things change, be patient while being assertive

Why? It opens opportunities in ways you can never plan. Meet new people, hear new ideas or be inspired by others you would have never otherwise met. We all need that. The ROI is always positive, but it can't be measured in raw numbers. Trust me, this attitude has served me well. The more I give, the more I get. I’m having my best year ever, and I hope you are too. Get busy, hustle, grind and do what it takes. That includes giving more than you expect in return. Create value for others, and people will always see value in you. Good luck!

Seems simple, but hard to actually execute on - how do you create your own #SaturdayMorningHustle success? Not necessarily a podcast (or maybe it is) but doing something that brings you great joy, opportunity and potential success. This was a common theme of many conversations I had this last week, so today I'm sharing the ideas, tactics and steps to success (as you define it) via something new or different. Bonus: Check out the Defining Moments podcast https://www.definingmomentspod.com/ from my pals Hoang and Margy Lam.

Happy 4th of July! I have been talking about the proper way to build audiences, brands on the #SaturdayMorningHustle for a long time. In fact, I posted this exact same topic (1-minute video) exactly 3 years ago. It's a #SaturdayMorningHustle Flashback (2017) - Want to be an #Entrepreneur or run a successful business? Avoid SM "experts" using inspirational quotes + stock photos of exotic cars and vacations. Instead, pay attention to people willing to share practical advice on how to build a business on a day-to-day basis. Don't let them sell you a "system" or "one weird trick" to success. Watch people who #Hustle #Grind and share #Advice along the way. Other people's success doesn't stop you from having success. Good luck to everyone willing to work hard for your dreams. Once you make some $$, don't blow it on superficial stuff. Build your brand THE RIGHT WAY in 2020/21.
Happy 4th of July. Celebrate freedom, but please be careful. See you next week!

Today I'm expanding of a #SaturdayMorningHustle social media post from 2017 about getting started, creating momentum and not being worried about being great when doing something for the first time. You didn't know how to ride a skateboard or bike the first time you tried. Learn through doing. It's the same for running a business or being an entrepreneur. There is no single way to be successful. It's all trial and error. Keep getting back on the board and trying again. #GoodLuck #Business #Success comes from change. #Entrepreneur #WorkSmart then #WorkHard #Truth #EvenOnTheWeekend #CoffeeAndDonuts #Grind #Hustle #StartUpLife #NoExcuses #BusinessOwner #Leadership #Dedication #Commitment #Change #OnTheGrind #Longboarding at our 1219 Creative office. 😬 Sorry for the squeaky board trucks on the flashback clip. Let's talk about it.

The concept of community is needed more than ever. As individuals, we need to come together for communication, collaboration and empathy with/for each other. This benefits everyone. There's also the concept of community building as a business model. No selling, more authentic engagement and brand loyalty. All you have to do is provide value first, not expect anything in return and let the community develop organically. This can be people in the same area, who have common interests (sports, music, politics, hobbies) or benefit from collaboration and shared efforts.
Not sure how that all works, why you should consider it for yourself (as an individual) or for your business? Don't know how to get started? Concerned about conversion and economic value? Let's talk about it.

Time for a #SaturdayMorningHustle mental and physical reset. Let's transition from the heavy restrictions of COVID-19 towards our normal #RiseAndGrind #Hustle as #Entrepreneurs by doing what we do on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Throw yourself a party, make a plan for the new year with resolutions (goals) to achieve and then start over in the morning. Just because it's not January 1st doesn't mean we can decide to start over. Let all the stress, negativity and doubt go. Make everything new with a mental reset. Good luck and Auld Lang Syne to coronavirus. Then, get back to work. https://saturdaymorninghustle.com/

We all get frustrated, but we have things to accomplish. Even the most positive, upbeat people have moments, hours or even days of feeling zero motivation. It's OK. What's not acceptable is letting that negativity become your "new normal". That's a one-way ticket to loser town. Instead, acknowledge your doubts, frustrations and moments of weakness but then get back to work. Create momentum to move yourself into the win column. Just start, it gets easier as you go. Good works lead to great things. No one is feeling positive 100% of the time, so don't try t use any temporary setbacks as excuses. Reflect, learn what you can from that setback and come back stronger than ever. That's how you build success.

A #SaturdayMorningHustle quarantine collective thought: We're all in this together, and IT SUCKS! COVID-19 is affecting everyone. For some, it's an inconvenience but for many the coronavirus is dangerous. Some are sick and many people have lost their jobs. A lot of small businesses are under duress and in danger of going bankrupt. All of these conditions can wreak havoc on your emotions and mental health. I have some advice for all you #hustlers and #Grinders out there: It's OK to feel frustrated, mad, sad, confused and hopeful all in the same day. Maybe even within a single hour. Just don't let that detract you from big-picture goals. Take moment, collect yourself and get back to work. Positivity and action are always required for success. It's Saturday, you might be #SocialDistancing at home, but you can still #RiseAndGrind your way to success. We're all in this together, and we all need to keep our collective heads up. Use common sense, wash your hands, stay home if you feel sick and never give up hope. That goes double for all you business owners - we need you to be successful.

YOU know how to #RiseAndGrind to outwork the competition while they're still sleeping on the weekend. You #WorkSmart and then #WorkHard to #EarnIt every day.
You're an #Entrepreneur or #SmallBusiness Owner or #SelfBrand. We need that hustle, creative problem solving and willingness to break the rules to create something new RIGHT NOW as the country and the entire world combats the Coronavirus. DO NOT GIVE UP on your small business, your startup, your #NextBigThing idea because of the limitations put on all of us during the COVID-19 outbreak. Keep hustling, grinding and making your thing happen. We need you. Every idea has the potential to be a startup, which grows into a small business. This employs you and others, so you can support your family, friends and community.
We need ALL our small businesses, existing and upcoming. Use common sense, wash your hands, practice #SocialDistancing but DO NOT give up on your business.

It's Saturday and I'm hustling, but not in the office. Like everyone else, I am limiting my public interactions to help #LowerTheCurve of the COVID-19 Coronavirus here in the United States. But, that's no excuse to sleep all day, skip your work routine and be lazy. No, no, no, no! There's plenty to accomplish, even if you can't work full-out because of limits and restrictions due to concerns about public health. In fact, you might need to get extra work done or double-down on your #SideHustle due to standard business disruption. Find a creative solution and put in the extra effort to achieve your goals, even with the added limits we're all facing right now. Take care of yourself and others, wash your damn hands, don't go out if you feel sick and finally use common sense. I'll be back next week for more #Hustle and #Grind #EvenOnTheWeekend once again, just not in public. Keep your head up, stay positive, #WorkSmart and #WorkHard.

Jack Welch was a very well known and respected business leader who passed away this week. Welch was an American business executive, chemical engineer, and writer. He was chairman and CEO of General Electric between 1981 and 2001. In 2006, Welch's net worth was estimated at $720 million. Welch was known for having very simple attitudes towards leadership. Here are just a few themes from the successful life of Jack Welch. "If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings and put compensation as a carrier behind it you almost don't have to manage them." - "I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success." - "Willingness to change is a strength, even if it means plunging part of the company into total confusion for a while.

Social Media doesn't always live up to it's potential, but occasionally cool things happen online. Last week, the #SaturdayMorningHustle caught the attention of DeAndre Wilson. He's the man behind the #CancerSucks Keep Rolling awareness campaign by pushing a 230-pound tire around Evansville Indiana to honor his father's memory. Wilson's father rolled that same tire for 18 months while going through chemotherapy for stage four liver and colon cancer. When he died five years ago, Wilson inherited the tire, which reads, "cancer sucks." Wilson called into the podcast to talk about it. Please listen to what he has to say, and then give him a follow on Twitter or Instagram at @DeAndreDWilson because he's doing an amazing thing talking to everyone about how much #CancerSucks in his life and all of our lives. "Meeting" Wilson via Twitter is the good side of social media, that's for sure.

It happens to everyone. Wins and losses. You will hear No more than Yes. Business, careers and brands all have highs and lows. Peaks and valleys in the path to success. Balancing the two is key, not letting lows kill what you have built and not letting highs inflate your ego. In fact, over-hyping your wins and creating unrealistic expectations for yourself on the upside can make minor setbacks seem even worse than it really is. Don't gaslight yourself. I'm in the slow period of the year for my business, coming right after our busy season. This advice is as much for me as it is for you.

It's a first, something I've never done before on the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast - Resharing content from past episodes. Not just random episodes, but the first podcast of February for the last two (2019 and 2018) years. There is a common theme that happens around this time of every year that involves doing something unexpected or unplanned but it works out well. Both episodes detail putting others first and putting good things into the world returns amazing results for all involved. Check it out! Talk to you again next week.

It’s a simple idea, but so many won’t follow through. The #SaturdayMorningHustle #s break it down for you. #RiseAndGrind #EarnIt #WorkSmart then #WorkHard. If you’re willing to get up early or stay up late (or both), make (and follow) a plan, put in max effort then (here’s where you make-or-break) look for advice, mentorship and constructive criticism then you can and will excel. If not, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Something you hear me say often on the #SaturdayMorningHustle is #WorkSmart then #WorkHard to maximize efficiency and effectiveness. It's not enough to just #Hustle and #Grind you need to be strategic in your approach to what you are working hard on, in what order and (here's the pièce de résistance for today) what must be done during "regular" business hours and what needs to wait for nights and weekends. Focus your efforts by organizing not only by importance, timeliness or even "hardest/least desirable task first" but also by working conditions like interruptions, collaboration partners, client demands and other outside influences you can't control. 6 minutes on how to work smart before you work hard and benefits that come from being strategic with your efforts.

More important than that is control of your career, your life, your future. That comes from effort.
First one in, last one out, Lead by example. Don't just walk the walk but talk the talk. Earn it all with hard work, determination and being smart with your time and effort. Never forget where you come from and who helped you along the way. Now, let's get to work!

Success comes in many different ways. Some call it serendipity, some call it karma, but for me it's all about business ethics, attitude and relationships. The #GoldenRule of business: Treat the client how you want to be treated, and that's exactly what will happen. This is my longest #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast yet for a really good reason. It's a 30-year story of doing good work, a positive reputation and providing value to creates business relationships that pay off for decades. If you're 15 or 50 or 115 there are lessons in this podcast today about the winding road that is a successful career and ultimately how you treat people you work with, for or in collaboration will determine how successful you can be in your career and in your life.

A few things every business needs, but CEOs just don't want to take the time to plan for..... a #SaturdayMorning plan to prepare your business for the worse while doing the work to be the best. A few themes were a part of my week that I want to share with you today as something you can work on today (and tomorrow):
Crisis management and communication protocols
Succession planning
Reputation management
Why do these things go together? I'll tell you. First, no one wants to plan for bad things like a crisis, the loss of an important business leader or unflattering reviews BUT you need to. Just like insurance, you need to have protocols, action steps and decision making processes in place BEFORE YOU NEED THEM. Just like insurance, you hope you never need it, but when you do it's a major factor in continuing successfully.
Listen as I explain all three, why they are important and the steps you need to take this weekend to begin these processes. Too many C-Suite leaders use the excuse of "taking away from day-to-day operations to not future plan. So my answer is to do it on the weekend, Now you don't have an excuse. You can't expect your business to run its lifespan without hiccups (or major f@#$ups). Get ahead of those missteps now.

It's a #SaturdayMorningHustle riddle for #Entrepreneurs - "How can saying No as often as possible create the opportunity to say Yes as often as possible? How does this equate to long-term success?" - think about that for a minute, then give the podcast a listen for the answer and how you can use this idea in your business (and life) pursuits. I'm not going to give it away here. Listen to find out.

Yes, the #SaturdayMorningHustle is all about that #RiseAndGrind but burnout is a real thing, even for the most dedicated hustlers. Everyone eventually hits a wall, but it's different for each individual. So how can you stay at maximum efficiency to avoid crashing into the wall? Find ways to have a little fun. You make a plan to work hard, so also make a plan to avoid burnout. Take small breaks, find fun things to do while waiting for files to download, check social media only during coffee breaks or stops and call someone - an actual old fashion phone call to your BFF or parents or significant other just to remind you why you work so hear. #WorkSmart and #WorkHard for success. a bit of gamification or pauses in your overall hustle goes a long ways. What do you think? How do you keep from burning out or losing effectiveness? Let's talk about it.

It's an old saying but it applies perfectly to start-ups, entrepreneurs and business owners: "Crawl before you walk". Seems simple, but too many people want overnight success and do not want to be patient. The process of creating a business structure for the "Great Idea" that could become a start-up or changing and existing business plan for a major pivot is not the sexy part of entrepreneurship. It's hard work. It's saying No more than Yes because the audience, the market, competition, cost and other realities won't allow for every crazy idea to be explored. It's finding what works best and do that. A lot of that. It's a whole lot of paperwork. It's being patient.
Why? Because that's crawling before you walk. Once you have a well-developed and vetted idea, you can build a brand to support the product/service. Then you can create the marketing strategy, the sales process, the distribution and delivery mechanisms. Now, you can start. Without all that, you will most likely not draw any attention at all and fail. If you draw attention but can't actually conduct a transaction, you fail. Even if you get attention and conduct the first transactions, can you sustain that? Once you can sustain your business, you have something that can be successful and create real wealth and opportunities for you, your family and friends.
That's the ultimate goal. Take the time to give yourself the best opportunity to reach it. #SaturdayMorningHustle Bonus Advice: If your working a product or business just to get rich, stop now and go get a J-O-B somewhere else. To crawl before you walk you will need passion for the work and dedication of energy to make it happen. If that's you, best of luck! If not, save yourself some time and money. There is no such thing as easy money, get rich quick ideas or accidental success. Have passion and energy or #GTFO.

After a week of travel (for business) I'm way outside my normal routine. Even though I'm not as structured as many people, I do like having an idea of what needs to be done, in what order, how long something should take, etc.... But the key to being successful is the ability to handle situations that take you out of your comfort zone. That's often where the best work occurs. Don't be afraid of getting out of your routine, embrace it. Make a potential weakness a strength.
My question for you is, are you super structured and organized or are you super fluid and flexible in your process? Let's talk about it. How do you prefer to work, and how do you get back on track if you are pushed out of that routine (or lack of a routine)?

We all have to adapt. Everyday in business or real life. The #SaturdayMorningHustle advice is to find the positives in change. Everything changes. Sometimes a little (minor adjustments) and sometimes a lot (like your fav. team trading your fav. player) but we have to keep #Hustling and #Grinding if we want to be successful. The key is finding the positives in change. Don't be mad you have to make changes, be happy you the opportunity to make your situation better. Let's talk about it.
On this episode, I have two specific examples of clients who not only embraced change, but made it as beneficial as possible for them. #RiseAndGrind #EvenOnTheWeekend #WorkSmart #WorkHard.

It's Saturday, I'm in the office so it must be the #SaturdayMorningHustle. Getting work done on a holiday week like this week with the 4th of July on Thursday can be tricky. But if you're going to be an entrepreneur, have a side-hustle or be the person with your name on the door (the boss!) you can't just take off any time you feel like it. So how do we stay focused, motivated and (above all) balanced? Let's talk about it.

An ironic #SaturdayMorningHustle today. Let's talk about how much content we all (you and I) are taking in every day via the internet, email, smartphone apps, social media, video, podcast, blogs and "traditional" mediums like print, TV (network or cable) and radio. How much is enough to make you feel connected and how much is too much - making you want to turn it all off and go back to bed? Are you happy with your daily intake or burned out?
To be honest, I'm burned out. The second half of the conversation is about your own mental health. How do YOU (yes you!) manage all these options? What techniques, attitudes or even technology do you use to make sure you can be social online without feeling overwhelmed? Do you have set rules in your home or office, physically move or even hide devices, etc....?
Let's talk about it. Hit me up (the irony is not lost on this) on social media and tell me how you feel and how you manage it all.

It's a #SaturdayMorningHustle idea so simple but so powerful and true. People appreciate positive reinforcement. Who doesn't love a compliment, big or small? Think about how you feel when some tells you something nice. Small things count too. Like on your social media post, positive comments, and people going out of their way to make a specific comment about how they like what you're doing. So if all this is true, why don't we all do more of it? Too often we use social media, phone apps, digital platforms and networking events to be negative, complain and not lift others up because we don't want the competition. For me, when I get positive comments online and #IRL about the Saturday Morning Hustle podcast, my business podcast (The Golding Group #NeoMarketing Podcast) and other activity it really lifts my spirits. The smallest act of kindness can do great things for people, so LET'S ALL DO MORE OF THAT!

It’s a very different #SaturdayMorningHustle this week. We’re spending our Saturday at the office but not working. Instead, we’re collaborating with a local producer on the “Yes! Science!” Live event and video recording. “Yes! Science!” is a show featuring women and minority individuals who work in STEM with interviews and cool science experiments. We’re providing coffee and donuts this week to make sure everyone has enough energy. How fun is that! Get out there and find ways to collaborate in your community and motivate others to do the same. See you next week.

No, we're not on a new diet for the #SaturdayMorningHustle but instead reminding you (while reminding myself) that we all need to take advice and guidance we give to others as direction for ourselves. There's nothing like a less-than-happy conversation with a client to make you feel really stupid for expecting discipline and structure from them (of your making or theirs) but not yourself. Trust me, I'm speaking from very recent experience. This is called "eating your own dog food" or "taking your own medicine" or "walking it like you talk it" - you get the message, right?
Too many people in business and other pursuits fear rules or structure because they don't want to be constrained or held back by a business plan or marketing strategy. Of course, this is misguided. The plan create structure with room to adapt so you can be creative or make different decisions on the fly when adaptation is needed. That's how it's (supposed to be) designed to work best. Everyone needs to be working towards the same goals, via different objectives and tactics while remembering the big picture. Anything "held back" by a good plan probably deserves to be skipped.
So, what is one way (or more) you can do more of what you say or eat your own dog food better after this gentle reminder? How will you be better at following the rules you set in order to reach success in a better way? Best of luck! See you next week,

The simple truth is there is no simple, singular path to success - big or small. Most of the time something (or everything) fails to work out as planned. BUT, that's not an excuse to skip the plan and jump in without a strategy in place. That's even worse. The key to success is making a plan, developed via a strategic process with goals, objectives, tactics, tools, assets and measurement that can adapt as needed. Because you will need to make changes along the way. The better prepared you are to change with circumstances, the more likely you will be in achieving your ultimate success. Let's talk about it!

It's such a simple concept: social media. Platforms for people to connect with each other from anywhere at anytime without limitations. It's like everyone is invited to the party, class, meeting, conference, exhibition, etc. no matter where you are or how you get there. BUT the platforms quickly declined into the home of trolls, spammers and scam artist. There is hope.
I'm seeing a shift in how people understand social media, the internet, mobile technology, etc. and it's for the good. Entrepreneurs, marketers and business decision-makers are pulling back from selling and doing a better job of communicating by being social. Like the wise man once said, start with your WHY long before you get to the how, what and for how much.
Don't use SM to prospect wide and close what you can, but instead tell your story and connect with people as people. What you want them to do (buy something, go somewhere, support a cause, vote, riot, etc.) will naturally occur once you take the opportunity to create relationships. THAT is what social media is supposed to do.
Good luck, see you next week!

Roller coasters are supposed to be fun because you get to climb to the top of the track, look around at everything and then all-of-a-sudden whoosh your diving downward at top speed. Twist, turns and even loops. That's great fun at an amusement park but not when running a business. A metaphorical roller coast ride as an entrepreneur is having an epic high like a new client, big check or other great success but then what goes up must also come back down. Often in business, these highs and lows happen in the same week. That's the roller coaster.
So, what do you do? Strive for a more predictable middle. Avoid making decisions when you're at the very top or very bottom. Understand that neither the euphoria of wins or the dread of a loss (taking an "L") is permanent. Predictability is key to a successful business, so go after those highs to balance the lows (it happens to everyone, not just you) but work towards consistency. The roller coaster is a lot of fun, but it's exhausting at the same time. If you want a long, healthy career try staying off the roller coaster or at least try to make it a short ride.
Don't think you're bulletproof when you are on top and don't quit just because you came crashing back down. Balance yourself and understand we all take this ride from time to time.
Good luck! See you next week. May the forth (5/4/19) be with you. It's Saturday, I'm in the office so it must be the #SaturdayMorningHustle.

It's an exciting #SaturdayMorningHustle weekend around here! Startup OKC - A Weekend-Long Startup Competition is happening in our building Project 3810. I love this stuff. Young, up-and-coming entrepreneurs all get in a room to meet, discuss potential business ideas and form teams to develop the best ideas and pitch to a panel of experts for constructive criticism. It's the process of starting a business, just shrunk into a weekend and executed in a safe space for learning and developing as a professional.
If you're not interested in the process, feedback, change and working within realistic expectations than you have no business calling yourself an entrepreneur. An open mind, adaptability and strategic (not just tactical) thinking are the keys to starting and managing a successful business.
So, what is Startup OKC? Startup OKC is a 3-day event during which teams of participants pitch ideas for new startups. They then form teams around the ideas presented, and work the entire weekend to build an MVP (minimum viable product), identify customers, refine MVP, market research, customer validation, refine MVP, validate, business model & rollout strategy, pitch prep & finally on Sunday evening. Pitch!
Throughout the weekend participants network with other teams and individuals at Startup OKC. Mentors will be in and out throughout the weekend. The mentors are some of the best and innovative minds from around Oklahoma City.
Good luck to everyone participating in Startup OKC and all of you out there in universe. If you need some advice from a mentor, hit me up on social media or at TheGoldingGroup.com.
See you next week. It's Saturday, I'm in the office so it must be the #SaturdayMorningHustle.

What an amazing morning, at the end of a great week in a super month. That's right, everything is going well and I am full of gratitude for the opportunity to create a career that I love so much I work "extra" on the weekend. As Mark Twain once said: “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” and I'm right there. When things are going well for us, we need to remember that a lot of other people are playing their part in our success. The key is to give back more than you are receiving. Be a part of others finding their passion, their calling, their success.
I'm so thankful for my business partners, our clients, our vendors, community collaborators and anyone who's putting great things into the universe and allowing us to amplify that. Take a moment to think about how you fill a role in what other people in your life and profession are doing. Enjoy that feeling. You earned it. Finally, respect to all of Oklahoma and OKC on the 24th anniversary of the 4/19/95 Murrah Building bombing when we lost 168 lives here in Oklahoma City and a blessing to all on this Easter weekend. Enjoy your blessings. See you next week!

Today is a different #SaturdayMorningHustle because I’m doing a little collaboration with local content producer and all-around good guy Dennis Spielman. Dennis is producing his live event and video show “Yes! Science” nearby today and I’m sponsoring the donuts and coffee. Yes! Science is a talk show that profiles women and minority individuals in various STEM fields with discussions and experiments. How cool is that. Check out Yes! science if you get a chance.

It's Saturday and I'm in the office all fired up because I had an amazing experience at TEDx Oklahoma City yesterday. The speakers (some I knew, other hearing for the first time), the people in the room together and the opportunity to open yourself up to new, different and challenging thoughts was exactly what I needed. I love the exchange of ideas. I like being challenged and debated on thoughts and processes. I think it's good to have healthy, respectful conversations with constructive criticisms and challenges to the status quo. That's what happened yesterday.
How about you? Do you enjoy the process or just the end results? Are you open to ides that are not your own? Did you open yourself up to debate, discussion and potential change (n you and the others in the discussion)? Let's talk about it. SaturdayMorningHustle.com

The #SaturdayMorningHustle is for everyone, not just Entrepreneurs. Anyone can use this advice in your career pursuits. Success always comes to those who work the hardest, make the most of every situation and refuse to lose. It doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get back up. That also applies when working for other people. Don't let any single setback, big or small, deter you form your career vision. Don't let the day-to-day drag down your long-term goals. Think like an entrepreneur in your career. You will have a job of some sort for the majority of your life, so don't let any day, week, month or year (a small % of your overall life) stop you. Keep #Hustling and #Grinding #EvenOnTheWeekend to control your own success. Good luck, see you next week!

Can you hear the scratchiness in my voice this week? Yes, I'm less than 100% but the show must go on. I'm sharing some insights from my Better Business Bureau of Central Oklahoma #TrustTalk this week, including great advice like:
“Don’t be better, be different.”
“Take your weakness and make it your strength.”
“Fake it till you make it is a disaster. Be yourself.”
“It’s okay to ignore anyone who says you can’t do something, but you can’t ignore reality."
“Effort doesn’t necessarily equal success. Focused, smart, strategic efforts equal success.”

The #SaturdayMorningHustle is all about making adjustments. In business and life, things almost never go 100% to plan. Things happen. Being able to adjust is key to making the best of any situation. The small, daily adjustments we all make are easy. Big, life-altering changes are harder. Should you quit your job, change careers, move across the country? Sometimes that’s what it takes to be successful or find what makes you happy. So be open to the idea of making that adjustment in your life. Don’t close your mind to the possibilities. Talk with family and friends and make good, informed decisions. Best of luck to you! This episode was inspired by a conversation with a good friend who listens to this podcast. Call in, make a comment on social media and let me know what you want to talk about next Saturday. Thanks.

It's the simplest of all social norms: Don't steal other people's things. This includes creative ideas and content. Not just word-for-word copy and paste style plagiarism but lifting ideas, styles and execution is just wrong. No one appreciates this. The internet and social media have presented all of us an opportunity to connect with others and communicate in new and interesting ways. The only rule is to be yourself. Don't build your self-brand on someone else's concept. Authentic audience development is the only way to create something valuable and sustainable. Shortcuts and unethical behavior is the exact opposite. You don't have to be the most interesting person on the planet to have an audience, you just have to be your authentic self. Good luck!

It's a #SaturdayMorningHustle first..... I'm going to suggest you listen to my business podcast this week. It's typically all business, marketing, etc. but the current episode is about you defining success and not wrapping your own self esteem or value in a job title, salary level or someone else's definition of being successful.
Don’t let any single setback kill your dreams. Life's not fair, so keep on your #Hustle and #Grind to win. My business partner Pritch Pritchard, APR and I discuss and provide examples from our careers you can learn from.
On each episode of the #NeoMarketing podcast, The Golding Group we briefly (12-15 mins.) discuss best practices, latest trends and modern techniques for professional business communications options. Our goal is to be educational, informative and (hopefully) entertaining.

I'm typically motivated on the #SaturdayMorningHustle but today I'm really fired up after a very fulfilling experience this week I want to share with you. Twice a year I teach a 2 hour class on Marketing / Advertising for the local Career Tech. My class is one in a series on small business education like accounting, legal, social media, etc.
My fav. part is meeting entrepreneurs, small business owners and people considering taking the leap into the world of business. Helping these people understand how to best succeed but also what to avoid (so they don't blow all their money) is very rewarding.
I also find great value in putting my expertise to the test. Like the Albert Einstein Quote "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough" teaching a beginner class to a range of people forces me to simplify complex ideas and communicate in a very direct and effective way.
Ultimately, playing a small part in developing our small business community and taking the challenge of explaining in a simple fashion both add up to a very fulfilling experience. If you get a chance to support others while expanding your ideas about business or career success - I suggest you do it. It's good for the community and it will motivate you as well. A true Win-Win. See you next week!

A key to success: not letting BS (in your head or from other people) slow you down. Don't worry about what everyone else is doing, saying or working on. Even if they're competing with you for a client, job or some other prize. Focus on being your best for all the right reasons. Stay true to what gives you a reason to work harder, longer and better than them. Don't let their shortcuts, questionable tactics or even straight up unethical behavior affect your hustle. You do you. The right path to the success you want (whether you know it or not) will reveal itself when you tune out all the noise and stay true to yourself.
Good luck! See you next week.

First, I want to thank everyone who listens to the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast, but especially when I get to hear your stories of motivation, hustle and grind.
But, not everyone can #RiseAndGrind on Saturday mornings and that’s OK. The key to success is focusing on what you can control - your effort. It doesn’t matter if it’s this morning, tomorrow or sometime next week. If you want more, you gotta work more - when and how you can. You don't have to do it the way I do it, but you do have to find ways to work smart and work hard.
Let me know when and how you put in the extra hustle. Let’s get social on social media. It’s a two way conversation. Maybe your story will motivate and connect with others as well.
Until next week, good luck and stay safe out there.

Today on the #SaturdayMorningHustle, I run through the levels of entrepreneurship: Side-Hustle, Project Based, Outside Interest, Second Career and Hobby. Each has it's own set of rules, expectations and return on investment (or lack of). If your full time / part time J-O-B isn't enough for you, here are a few options.
Let's clear up some confusion about the differences and similarities between having a career working for someone else or being an Entrepreneur and the levels of transition in-between. There are many options to "being your own boss" with levels of risk, freedom and fringe benefits. Let's Discuss.

Good morning and welcome to the first #SaturdayMorningHustle for 2019. With the new year comes a lot of New Year Resolutions and other standards people try to hold themselves to. If "business" is one of your topics for 2019 you need to know a couple of simple but powerful ideas about how to best achieve success in 2019 - focus on 2 key things: How much effort you put into your pursuits AND controlling what you can, not everything. If you can do this, you will find real empowerment as an entrepreneur, self-brand or rock star employee climbing the corporate ladder.
Hustle, grind and put extra effort in to outwork "the other guy/girl" is something you have control over. Every great champion credits the training that got them to the top levels. Do the same for your career.
If you cannot focus on what you control, you will burn out from letting outside factors effect your work flow, attitude and outlook. Do what you can, when you can and understand all other factors are outside your control (and often your competitors control as well). Don't worry about weather, the stock market or who is President. Stay connected to who you are, what you're trying to accomplish and why.
Best of luck in 2019. See you next week!

It's the last Saturday in 2018 and everyone is reflecting on the last year and planning for the future. Now is the time to make a plan for success and then DO SOMETHING to put it into play. I got a t-shirt from OKC media consultant Patrick Allmond this week with a simple but powerful message perfect for starting 2019 off right: Stop Doing Nothing.
So simple, but so true. Yes, you need to make a plan, create a to-do list and create goals, objectives, tactics, etc.... BUT without action it's all worthless. So let's get started. You don't have to wait until Monday, New Years Day or any other artificial deadline - get to work right now.
If you want it bad enough, you will work for it. Stop ding nothing and get your hustle and grind on. Grab a cup of coffee, power up with a donut and make it happen. No excuses.
Good luck! See you next week for the first show if 2019. Check out Patrick online at https://stopdoingnothing.com/

It's almost time for a holiday break. A few days off to spend time with family and friends. Remember the reason for the season! #SaturdayMorningHustle advice: Take some time off during the holidays to spend real time with real people important to you - family, friends and community. After all, isn't that the reason we all hustle and grind #EvenOnTheWeekend to make a better life for the people around us? Spend some holiday down time really enjoying the act of being present (pun intended) for others. You can always work extra next week.
No matter what holiday you're celebrating (or not celebrating at all) I wish you and yours the best! Next, we #RiseAndGrind again for the last time in 2018.

Another #SaturdayMorningHustle Accountability Conversation: putting action behind your decisions. It’s not enough to have great character in your decision making process, but you MUST put action behind the idea or its worthless. This is not just in your personal life but also your business life. People want to hire and do business with people they can trust with decisions and actions. You need both! Good luck!!

It's that time of year, everyone is playing nice for Santa (or their boss). But were you a good person all year, not just in December? Do you make decisions based on what's best for all or just you? Do you have character? Do you do the right thing, even if it's unpopular or even gets you into a tough situation? As we end the year let's talk about accountability, starting with character. You either have it, or you don't. Here's why it's important.....

Are you ready for 2019? Do you have a strategic plan in place for next year? If not, you're WAY behind. In fact, proper strategy is developed months in advance of implementing. Right now, start by setting goals and objectives. Consider your strategy and develop tactics (with measurements) for pursuing your goals. Write it down, make a plan and get to work. Don’t wait. Good luck!

Let's talk about how important small business is for our local, state and national economy. The majority of people in the United States are employed by small businesses. This time of the year, #BlackFriday and #CyberMonday get all the attention and a lot of your $$$. To make sure we don't lose our small businesses due to the holiday "big box" retail push, #SmallBusinessSaturday is essential. Almost as essential is #GivingTuesday on the 27th for supporting non-profits. So. get out there today and spend some of your cash on goods and services from small businesses. Locally owned businesses employ people and buy/sell raw materials and support items. All of this creates tax opportunities for your city and state. Keep your money local, support great employers and be a smart consumer by shopping at a small business (or 7) today.
Thanks! See you next week. Good luck!!

Something struck me recently about the changing ideas of what makes one an entrepreneur, hustler, influencer, business leader, etc.... This last week I've interviewed a few entrepreneurs, hosted a small business/entrepreneur event and been in multiple meetings. Every time, I looked at the people involved and realized there was no "set" type of person. Old, young, male, female, suit-and-tie or jeans and a t-shirt types. All types of people, pursuing their career or other passions while trying to find ways to make it all work. That's the common bond - making your "thing" work because that's what you want to do with your life. From that, comes the common traits of successful people. Drive, determination and work ethic. You gotta want it and you gotta be willing to work for it. Not just long, hard hours but odd, not convenient hours.
Are you willing to do more than "the other guy/girl" to be successful? That's what really matters. Not what you look like, where you came from, what your favorite band is or how "cool" you are. That's the common denominator. Good luck, see you next week!

You can only do one, so choose! Make Excuses -OR- Make Progress. Do you have #SaturdayMorningHustle in you or not? If you're in it to win it, then you have no time for worrying, blaming others or finding reasons not to do something. If you want to be successful, get to work!
Hustle and grind even on the weekend if you're a true Entrepreneur, Business Owner or #1 employee. Grab a cup of coffee, a donut and then work if success is what you want. It's all up to you.
The only thing you can control is your effort, focus and passion for what you do. Procrastination and excuses -OR- accomplishments and success. As the old saying goes, Winners never quit and Quitters never win. It's all up to you.
One month ago today I missed a Saturday Morning Hustle for the first time in over a year due to complications from surgery. But, I didn't let missing time off work, being sore and uncomfortable while healing stop me from reaching goals and getting my work done. You can do it too.

The #SaturdayMorningHustle is all about effort: #Hustle and #Grind #EvenOnTheWeekend BUT you can’t lose sight of why you’re doing the work. Dont forget what it is that motivates you to put in that extra work. The people who are important in your life, a drive to be the best you can be or simply taking a challenge head on. With the upcoming holidays are full of distractions, but you can’t let that kill the motivation that you’ve created all your long. At the same time, you shouldn’t ignore family and friends in order to put in extra work on your side hustle, start-up, self brand or small business. So how do you balance the Entrepreneur life during the holidays? Adapt. In Nov. and Dec. your regular schedule will be tested. The “extra” time you find on nights and weekends will be less thanks to holiday parties, shopping and family time. The key is to find new, often smaller, times and situations to utlize. Stay motivated, focused and most of all organized. Use free time between work, family and fun times to prep for dedicated work times. Make the most of what you can, when you can. All without skipping out on the important people in your life. Enjoy some time off for the holidays. Spend time with family and friends. Recharge your batteries and reaffirm your motivation. See you next week. Good luck!

Stop, collaborate and listen. The #SaturdayMorningHustle is back with a brand new edition. I’m all about collaborating as the best pathway to success. In 2018 (2019 and beyond) the old rules of business no longer apply. New business models and combinations are creating new opportunities. Virtual businesses, side-hustles and startups are taking advantage of collaboration and non-traditional working arrangements for win-win situations. We’re doing this with all our clients at The Golding Group. Welcome to the future. Find the right partners for all the right reasons and collaborate. Alternatively, walk away from inequitable business relationships and “in the box” thinkers. That’s old news and not where you want to be. Your happiness will be up and your stress down if you choose to collaborate with the right partners for the right reasons. Work smart, work hard, be open to the process and success will follow.

Sorry everyone, but we didn’t get to do a show last week because I ended up with a little too much #Hustle, too much #Grind and an unplanned hospital stay. I’m OK now, and in fact I’m back at work in my home office this week trying to catch up from being off last week due to being in the hospital. Thank goodness we have so many opportunities to work remotely, digitally and other ways in order to keep the process moving along, keep our clients happy, keep our bosses happy and meet those deadlines without too much disruption thanks to modern technology. So many jobs these days can be accomplished on a laptop, a smart phone, tablet or any place that has Internet access. This made life possible for me this week for sure.
But, You don’t have to wait for an illness or accident in order to allow your staff, key members, PT or others to work remotely. The key is finding balance in the new found freedom‘s vs. accountability, deadlines, expectations and the workflow of others. This situation is different for every office, whether a start up, existing company or a digital entity that doesn’t have a physical space. The key is making sure every member of your team feels valued for what they’re contributing and not allowing anyone to “gig the system” and not pull their own weight. God luck! See you next week.

Break your patterns! Interrupt your routine. Avoid burnout and create opportunity for yourself. Be creative. #SaturdayMorningHustle keys to success include #Hustle #Grind and #Consistency but occasionally you need to take a break. The question is when and how? The answer is.... it’s up to you. Everyone is different.
In communications, it’s called a pattern interruption. Change the standard response to create a new, difference opportunity to connect. Be interesting. Be memorable. But most of all, find ways to connect, communicate and create the potential for a relationship (personal, business or other).
#WorkSmart then #WorkHard but find ways to make your routine less routine to keep your battery charged and communications open.

Lot's of people talk about Work / Life balance for entrepreneurs, business owners, side hustlers and #RiseAndGrind personalities but balance is more than that. Finding real balance in your life when you have dedicated yourself to building a business, career or self-brand also includes how and when you talk about your pursuits, when to "sell" and when to pass and when to be proud of what you do (and how you do it) vs. being obnoxious about it. You can't be shy or nothing ever happens BUT if you're about that life 150% of the time you don't have room for anything (or anyone) else. So how does one manage passion with being social or drive to succeed with being supportive of others? Let's talk about it on the last #SaturdayMorningHustle Podcast for September of 2018. Join the discussion. Thanks and good luck!

Everyone on their #SaturdayMorningHustle right now is after the same thing - Success! Everyone has a different definition of being successful and the path to your ultimate success has a million possibilities. But, the one constant I have found in life and in business is the most successful people are those who can manage change the best. There are plenty of other ingedients, including hustle, talent, integrity, etc..... but the constant is how you put these elements behind implementing change. So today, we're going to talk about it. Call in (on the Anchor App) or comment on social media if you agree, disagree, want to hear more or have other Saturday morning topics to discuss. Thanks and Good Luck!

A central theme of my last four new client orientations (for The Golding Group) has been the function of Branding and Marketing as a filter to the sales funnel, not a catch-all. Too many people want their brand, marketing, advertising and PR to be "everything to everyone" which is a mistake. The best business marketing sets expectations for exactly what your business provides (and doesn't) how your product/service operates (and doesn't) and why EXACTLY they should be spending their money to acquire it. Everything else is just fluff. Focus on setting and meeting expectations with a realistic approach to your branding, highly focused marketing and disciplined operations create efficiency and effectiveness in your sales process. More conversion, less cost per customer and better overall profit potential. Let your branding and marketing create a sales pipeline, not a funnel. Stay focused from the beginning. Best of luck! #SaturdayMorningHustle #Advice

Don Draper on Mad Men once told the owner of scandalized Caldecott Farms dog food “Any agency that does not change the name is stealing your money”. She does not agree of course. Draper goes on to tell her to find a new agency because she won't follow his professional advice - and he's right!
This advice is very similar to a quote of mine in an article The Reasons Why Agencies Say ‘No’ to New Business - “If you’re not willing to make changes, then why are you hiring us?” added Golding, who looks for executives that are not only comfortable with his agency’s ideas but excited about them. https://databox.com/why-agencies-say-no
Don Draper and I agree, anyone you hire (or hires you) has to be a "fit" in style, approach and willingness to do what works, not what's easy or what the client wants to hear. That's just stealing your money. Sometimes it doesn't work out, and the professional relationship should end.

A #SaturdayMorningHustle reminder to stay focused on what’s important for you. The reason I come in early, stay late, hustle, grind and do all the things I do for my business is because I’m trying to build something for my family to live the life we want to live. It’s not always about becoming rich and famous. It’s about doing what feels good to you, what feels right to you and what makes sense for you. When you combine those things in a business that can be profitable (and sustainable) you’re doing it the right way and not for all the wrong reasons. Understanding your “Why" (you know what I’m talking about right? Simon Sinek - Start With Why - Go look him up if you don’t know) makes it all happen in the right way. Can you combine your “Why” and your experience and your passion? Something that makes you want to work this hard, along with something that can be sustainable, for your family, the way you want live? It’s not about someone else, it’s not about society, it's about you.

Everyone wants to talk about how bad they want success, what they are willing to do for it, how long it's been on their mind (since I was a kid!). Only a portion of these same people actually have the talent to pull it off. Of that group, who is willing to hustle, grind and patiently build from the ground up? The building process is where success comes from. Not ista-fame or being an overnight sensation, but actually building a brand (or self brand) from nothing. Why? Because understanding how it was build will allow you to adapt to changes that WILL happen. The market, your audience, the competition will push back on your vision of the brand. Things will change. Will you know what to do when that change occurs? And then when it happens again (and again, and again)? The key to sustainable success is understanding every element of a business. How you got from idea to launch to audience attention to success. Skipping steps or having someone hand you a finished product does NOT do that!

We discuss a lot on the Saturday Morning Hustle including tips, advice and business insights but we also try to motivate and inspire when possible. Nothing inspires me more than hearing from people IRL (in real life) who listen to/watch the SMH on podcast, video and social media. Today's post has two examples of people who are building their own success in the world who also happen to be fans of the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast. How cool is that! Let's all be motivated by other people just like us working hard and seeing the rewards. Thanks for listening!

The #SaturdayMorningHustle didn't start as a podcast, but a series of social media posts about the #Hustle and #Grind of owning your own business. These posts connect with entrepreneurs, business owners and everyone willing to work hard for what they wanted to achieve because I'm actually in the office every Saturday putting in extra work. One group that really connects with this idea are fitness professionals. No other lifestyle is more connected to "working hard every day to see results" more than the gym crowd. The irony is I am not in shape like these fitness coaches and trainers. But, we do have a similar mindset, work ethic and need to motivate others to achieve their goals. My aim is to help business people of all types, which includes fitness businesses as well. If you have a question or need advice for your startup, small business or self-brand (fitness, health or other) please feel free to connect with me on social media (or call-in on Anchor). That's what I'm here for.

That's right, not everyone on the planet is ethical (or honest). Plenty of people you have never met (or might be very close to you) are willing to take other people's ideas and pass them off as their own. I'm not condoning it, I'm just telling you it can/will happen. But, you still need to innovate. Come up with new ideas, approaches, tactics and ways of doing things. Do not let the potential theft of your next great idea slow or stop you. Put yourself out there, and see who does it better. Focus on your audience and your success. Anyone looking for a shortcut will end up short in the end. Make them work hard to keep up with you. Stealing ideas and claiming credit is not sustainable. Go for it! #SaturdayMorningHustle #BestOfLuck

The most practical advice I can give you on the #SaturdayMorningHustle is this: Start every idea, project or promotion the same way you build a business. Begin with the best idea possible. Don't be an "us too" offering but really find something new or a new way to do it. Make sure that idea solves a problem for people. That makes it valuable, something people will pay you for. Set your idea apart, differentiate what it is, how it works, how you deliver it, etc.... Do all of this with your audience wants and needs in mind, not your wants (or ego). If you do that, you will have something people are willing to pay for, delivered the way they want. Last but not least, make sure it's profitable. That profit will pay back startup cost and keep you going when things are not working perfectly. If everything goes well, profit will make it possible to expand. Measure, adjust, do it all again - just better.

Today on the #SaturdayMorningHustle, I translate the business marketing process into a simple format with tips everyone can use for your next event, non-profit organization or personal brand - artist, musician, entrepreneur, fitness, SM influencer, etc.... Goals, strategy, objectives, tactics, measurement and adjustment is the process (we discuss this fully on my business podcast The Golding Group #NeoMarketing on iTunes) which might seem like a lot of work. But, for an individual or smaller project this process can be simplified if you understand the basics. That's what I'm going to give you in 5 minutes this morning. Waht you do with it will be up to you.

Everyone is chasing some sort of success. Business, self-brand, art/music or community efforts. That success is measured by one metric: Conversion. Getting your target audience to do something. Buy, vote, donate, attend, click, call, etc..... The way to make that happen is understanding of your audience, the reasons they will say Yes or No, the other options available and what is most likely to motivate to action. All that, in just 5 minutes today. If you want to know more, or check out other topics, visit https://saturdaymorninghustle.com. Thank you and best of luck! See you next week.

Success is a series of hurdles. Some are easy, some are harder, some seem impossible. That's the grind, this is where hustle and drive are needed. If it's worth doing, it will be hard. But, everyone on TV, social media and the internet only show you the cars, vacations and bling that comes from their (claimed) success. The grind isn't pretty and no one wants to admit they struggled, failed, got discouraged and maybe even quit (but then came back). That is the reality of anyone who has achieved a level of success that you are sitting at home hoping to emulate. True story! Do NOT be discouraged when your success journey has highs and lows. It's all part of the process. Get up early, stay up late, work on the weekend and do what you need to do for your success. Do not focus on how easy it was for someone else, because it wasn't as easy as they say. Best of luck!

The #SaturdayMorningHustle is all about motivation, inspiration and putting in the work to pursue your dreams. But how do you keep your head up when you have setbacks or even tragic loss? You ask yourself "What Would Annie Do?" Let me tell you about the most positive, happy person I ever met and what I Learned from her before she left this earth way, way, way before her time.

Everyone makes mistakes. It happens in business and in life. No one is perfect. The key to success is what you learn from each mistake, steps you take to change so it doesn't happen again and owning up to it so you can move forward. Too many people get too focused on the small stuff or what a setback means in the very immediate short term. Take a step back and look at how mistakes and other errors are great teachers and allow us the opportunity to own up to the shortcoming. That ownership puts you in the position of earning back the trust of everyone involved. Why? Because mistakes happen, and your clients, co-workers and associates will not be afraid to trust your judgment if you make everything work for you in a positive way even when things don't go as planned. If your not making mistakes, you're not trying hard enough. Keep pushing, keep learning and keep growing. Best of luck!

You know the story of David vs. Goliath, right? The average man David slew the undefeated giant Goliath with a simple slingshot. But how does this apply to today, and for business? Simple: Positioning. The process of competing by utilizing your business strengths, mitigating your weaknesses and never going head-to-head with your competitor greatest strengths. You can't beat Wal-Mart with price or selection but you can win the customer service battle. Find the place (the position) in your industry that maximizes your strengths without competing with others greatest strength. This gives you best advantge to win. The only way to find your truest position is be honest about your strengths/weaknesses, research your competition and execute tactics based on this information and not your ego, gut feeling or "how we've always done it" excuses. Good luck!

To find success, you really need the ability to change situationally. Not major changes (unless forced) but adapting along the way. Everyone I had interactions with this week needed to make changes in their organization. Some big, some small some just being open to new things. If any of them had a "how we've always done it" attitude they would have set themselves and their organizations back. Being open to change, listening to collaborative ideas and allowing the problem to be solved instead of insisting they were right was the best, most successful way to solve the problems at hand. Anyone can hold themselves back be being selfish and unbendable. Instead, look for ways to incorporate input from others to open yourself up to better ideas. You can always go back to the "old" way of doing things later if it doesn't work out, BUT you will never find a better way to do thongs without being open to the process. Until next week, good luck!

Everyone wants to be successful. Hustle, grind, late nights, early mornings. Work smart, work hard and stay focused. The definition is different for every person as well. Become a millionaire, corner office, Instagram famous, whatever you want it to be. But, along the way, someone opened a door for you, gave you a shot, supported what you were doing or just gave you some helpful advice and encouragement. DO THE SAME THING FOR OTHER PEOPLE! Do not achieve success and then change who you are. For true success, be a part of other peoples success. Create a cycle of opportunity. That's what "making it" is all about. See you next week for #SaturdayMorningHustle advice. Thanks for listening.

During a media interview this week, I was asked what advice I would give my younger self if I had a time machine. The interview was about business and entrepreneurship, so my response was this: Go all in, don't play it safe or over-think. Be willing to stick your neck out and take risk. Don't make reckless or stupid decisions, but do push yourself and your business fast and hard. Commit! Put yourself out there for the business you want to create and avoid holding yourself back in order to avoid potential shortfalls. Nothing great ever happens in your comfort zone. Make a plan, do your homework and then GO FOR IT with everyhtign you have. If you can't do that, then maybe the entrepreneur life isn't for you.

Treating all people well creates positive situations for everyone. Slow down, talk to people and create relationships, not just transactions. #SaturdayMorningHustle advice for the Easter weekend. Has this happened to you? Positive or negative?
In business, we always focus on customer service. But, what if we do less training on what to say and when to say it and put more emphasis on being open to the needs of the person walking in the door, calling on the phone, etc...? That would make for happier employees, customers, vendors, etc.... and that's good for business.

Too many businesses make the mistake of building an operational model that makes providing a product or service as easy as possible for the provider and not the consumer. That's backward! To create a unique, successful business model that will compete, attract and retain a highly loyal audience (best case business scenario) you must construct your operations to the wants and needs of the audience. You can't force your way of doing business onto your audience. You can try, but most likely fail. Instead, pay maximum attention to your consumer and give them what they want, how they want it. With a consumer forward business model, you now need to find ways to improve or simplify the process to create profitability. With profit, every business will fail. This combo of audience need plus profitability has a real chance to succeed and adapt as needed when your audience or industry changes. That's disruption! It's what Uber did to taxis, Amazon did to big-box retail and AirBnB did to hotels.

The best way to be a great boss, co-worker, collaborator, entrepreneur, business owner, volunteer, civic leader, etc.... is to learn the right and wrong way to lead, motivate and inspire from everyone you meet. #SaturdayMorningHustle #Advice This includes not only those people doing it all right but those bad bosses who made you want to quit, hide or just not care. Learn from their mistakes but doing the exact opposite. You're in control of how you treat people, so do your best and the best will happen. Now, get to work! #Hustle #Grind #WorkSmart and #WorkHard

The #SaturdayMorningHustle is all about making things happen while everyone else is resting. It's not enough to work hard, but you really have to set yourself apart IF you are trying to build a successful business, career or side-hustle. There's no such thing as an overnight success and there is no one singular way to achieve your goals. But, you can't just tell people you have the drive. You must show them! You also need to prove you have what it takes to build something successful, not just get lucky once. Document your hustle, grind and work process. Show how you made it work and how you can do it again. For me, it's all about the process. I don't just do it and then hand over a finished work product to my clients. No, I involve them in the process to ensure everyone understands how the decisions were made. This creates a better long-term solution for everyone involved. Then, I take my skills and do it all over again.

Adversity hits everyone. There will always be bumps in the road. The only thing you have control over is how prepared you are and how well you react to negative situations. Don’t let set backs get you down. Use that to motivate even more #Hustle #Grind and #MaxEffort. Don’t get mad or sad, just het to work. When life gives you lemons.... #Lemonade #WorkSmart #WorkHard

You can’t lose motivation due to temporary circumstances. Don’t let a team beat your team twice by getting in your head, keeping you from working hard towards your next goal. You can’t let a single loss, setback or bad situation keep you from moving forward and preparing for the next opportunity. We all have more L’s than W’s so don’t take it too hard. You will hear “No” more than “Yes” so keep #Hustling and #Grinding #StayMotivated

Practical advice on the #SaturdayMorningHustle this week: it’s not an opportunity if you can’t afford to pursue it. #WorkSmart and #WorkHard but you can only #Hustle and #Grind so many hours a day. Your choices are to hire some help (pt, ft, freelance or service vendor) or focus on the most impactful opportunities and let the other stuff go or wait. #GoodLuck

Because I received so much positive feedback from the podcast last week, I wanted to continue the conversation today. I love the hustle and grind, I’m just built that way. But, not everything is a 1-to-1 give and take (or make) situation. In business, we miss these opportunities more than we take advantage. Sometimes you need to do things that are not for you, but others. At least 51% for others. Sometimes 100%. Why? It always opens opportunity in ways you can never plan.
Meet new people, hear new ideas or be inspired by others you would have never otherwise met. We all need that. The ROI is always positive, but hard to quantify.

True success comes from a positive attitude and willingness to give more than you take. We all hustle and grind every single day, even on the weekends, to make something for ourselves and our family. That’s what it takes to be an entrepreneur, own your own business or be the best employee where you work. BUT that does not mean every minute of every day is spend getting just ourselves ahead. Sometimes you need to do things that are not for you, but others. At least 51/49 for the. Sometimes 100% for others. Why? It always opens opportunity in ways you can never plan. Meet new people, hear be ideas or be inspired by others you would have never otherwise met. We all need that. The ROI is always positive. Trust me, this attitude has served me well. The more I give, the more I get. I’m having the best 1st quarter ever, and I hope you are too. Get busy, hustle, grind and do what it takes. That includes giving more than you expect in return. Create value for others, and people will a

The best way to get the most out of your Monday through Friday 9-5 grind is be prepared and organized. SaturdayMorningHustle is the perfect time to prep for the week ahead. That's what I do. Make your to-do list, set up your assets, do your research, etc..... Come in early, stay late, on the weekend, etc. it’s all up to you. Put the work in before the work. THAT’S hustle. Good luck.

Today we discuss the process all Creative professionals go through. I call it the “Blank Page” Theory. You start with a blank sheet of paper. Write down where you are, point A. At the other end of the paper, write down where you need to be, point B. This can be used for creating art, design or solving a problem. Now, start adding to your point A. What do you have in place (assets), what are you trying to accomplish, why are you doing it, etc. Then, do the same for point B. What ya the finished product? A painting, a brochure, a website, a better mousetrap maybe? Now, without preconceived notions or “how we’ve always done it” excuses start connecting A to B. This is the what, how, when, etc. in problem solving. For art, it’s a sketch, then a base layer, then the details, etc. the process is still the same. Start with nothing. No BS or reasons why you can’t do it. Just work towards your goal. Good luck! See you next week.

It’s a new year, the first #SaturdayMorningHustle and the best time to make a plan, set goals and get to work for 2018. Too many people falling victim to their own procrastination.

Tips on how to get (and stay) started. Good luck!

It’s that time of year, to make New Years resolutions. If you are an entrepreneur, business owner, management, investor or self-brand you should be setting goals for your business pursuits. In addition to your goals, you need a theme for the year. A word or two that describes who you are, what you do and what you’re trying to achieve. For me, that theme is collaboration. In that spirit, connect with me on Anchor App or social media (twitter: @KyleGolding Instagram @TheKyleGolding) yo ask a question, present a scenario or create an opportunity to collaborate. Thanks for tuning in to the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast each week. Best of luck in 2018!

Why put off until 2018 what you can accomplish today. Don’t fall into the “holiday” trap of letting up on your hustle. Make a plan, set goals and work harder than ever to start next year off right. This goes for entrepreneurs, business owners, Artist or anyone wanting to better themselves as a person, employee or member of a community. Best of luck in the new year.

Opportunity comes from change. Don’t be afraid of new situations, even if it wasn’t your plan or idea. In fact, run at it full force. A new year is coming, a new opportunity for you to set and reach goals. Do you have the right goals and are you working hard enough (in the right way) to achieve them? The new year is the perfect time to make that evaluation.
