#SaturdayMorningHustle Podcast

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 h...

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. It's Saturda...

In the spirit of the holiday, I'm replaying my fav. (and highest rated) episodes related to Thanksgiving and the very important follow up #SmallBusinessSaturday. Being thankful, staying positive and focusing your buying power at local businesses might be even more important in 2020 than ever before. Enjoy!  1. Being Thankful For Wins and Loses. Both Are Important from Nov 23, 2019 2. Thankful...

Next week is Thanksgiving, but what do we have to be thankful for during the Coronavirus? A lot, actually. There is always opportunity in a crisis and ways to create positivity from negativity. You can't let negativity ground your plans. It's Saturday, I'm in the office so it must be the Saturday Morning Hustle. Listen to the podcast while your competition is still sleeping. https://saturdaymornin...

On this episode, I expand on advice from two fortune cookies, but with my own twist. 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. It's...

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...

It's Saturday, I'm NOT IN the office - but instead cleaning up my yard after the great OKC Ice Storm 2020 - so it must be the Saturday Morning Hustle. Listen to the podcast every weekend while your competition is still sleeping (or cleaning up the yard). That's right, the hustle today is in yard cleanup and debris removal after a wild week of storms, ice, downed power lines and city-wide blac...

You have everything you need to be successful. If not, you will in the future. How do I know? Because we all have new experiences, learn new things and improve our skills every day. Success comes from constantly growing (yourself, your business, your career) every opportunity you get.  Right now, you have more knowledge, understanding and control than you had yesterday, the day before or the...

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...

#SaturdayMorningHustle Flashback 3 and 4 years ago this week. Still a GREAT idea and maybe more important in 2020 than it was in 2017/16. Here's a #SaturdayMorningHustle idea for you. Replace one of your "traditional" marketing buys with a creative community collaboration event to benefit a local nonprofit, school or cause. Bring together as many local businesses as needed. The key is not selling...

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, n...

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 excu...

#SaturdayMorningHustle Flashback 3 years ago this week. 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 new competitor entering your market. Do not overreact! Stick to your business plan, strategy and marketing tactics...

If I can do it, you can do it. Can you believe I have owned or operated my own business (of some sort) for over 30 years now? The Golding Group is the latest in a long line of business ventures I have been involved in since my first when I was just 15 years old. To hear the full story, listen then make a comment or call in (on Anchor App) with your own story. #SaturdayMorningHustle Flashback...

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...

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 -&gt...

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 tw...

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...

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...

I used a lot of #Hashtags on the #SaturdayMorningHustle. Each has it's own meaning for me so I'm going to share all the ideas behind each #Hashtag concept and then ask you what ideas each of these words and phrases create for you. We're talking about #Entrepreneur #EarnIt #EvenOnTheWeekend #Success #Business #WorkSmart and #WorkHard but also playful ideas like #CoffeeAndDonuts. Hit me up on Anchor...

On this episode, I'm combining two traditional ideas from big-time thinkers Harley Davidson and Henry Ford (with a bonus Maya Angelou quote and insights from Hamilton) to provide depth and detail for building a personal brand in 2020. Listen for details. Solid advice for entrepreneurs, business owners, career pursuits and self-brands like artists, musicians and social media influencers. Hit me up...

#Flashback 1 year ago #SaturdayMorningHustle True success comes from a positive attitude and willingness to give more than you take. We all #Hustle and #Grind every single day, #EvenOnTheWeekend too, for the opportunity to build something for ourselves and our family. That’s what it takes to be an #Entrepreneur, own your own business or propel your career as the best employee where you work. &nbsp...

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...

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...
