#SaturdayMorningHustle Podcast

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 successfu...

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 communit...

Hit that reset button! It's time to ask you a few questions about what you want and need to hear on the #SaturdayMornningHustle podcast and social media post. A literal poll of what you want from this podcast. More technical assistance, more business advice, more startup guidance or more inspiration and motivation. What do you want and need, because that's what I hope to provide via this podc...

No matter what you are trying to accomplish in this crazy world, every journey starts with the first step. Make the move, take a risk, be the change you want to see in the world. There is no "perfect" time to do anything, so why not get started right now.... today! Put yourself out there, learn and grow. Prepare as much as possible, but don't use that as an excuse. The time is now. Let's work!&nbs...

#SaturdayMorningHustle Advice: Always be authentic, promote by setting and then meeting expectations plus remember to document, don't create (stolen from the great Gary Vaynerchuk ). Right now, every business, brand and organization needs to communicate as effectively as possible, but not to sell anything. Instead, need to be building relationships, presenting value in what you offer and thinking...

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 d...

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...

As cities and states around the country begin phased re-opening of certain business types, many people are happy for the opportunity to earn a living while others are afraid of the potential for the spread of COVID-19. If you own or manage a business, then you have important decisions to make. I'm here to talk you through how your business can re-open in safe and smart ways PLUS using the tools, i...

We all want to get back to normal, right? Our old lives back, a sense of normalcy and an end to the coronavirus pandemic. This is NOT the "new normal" but a temporary period in our collective history. So, how do we go about getting back to real life again as individuals? Steady and smart. Let's get to work! #SaturdayMorningHustle to make up for lost time.  

That's right, I'm looking to the foul-mouthed, R-rated and most likely insane superhero (as portrayed by Ryan Reynolds) lives his best life (sarcastically) via the mantra "Maximum Effort" which is actually a really good idea. Even more appropriate during the COVID-19 restrictions on business and social life. If you want it, you gotta #EarnIt with your #Hustle and #Grind #EvenOnTheWeekend.

Your business, startup, side-hustle or professional career is on hold right now while the whole world deals with the coronavirus. You can't control when stay at home orders, social distancing and the overall uncertainty of this situation will end. BUT, you can control your Attitude and your Actions. Emotions and Effort. It's time to #Hustle and #Grind to #EarnIt #EvenOnTheWeekend because that's ho...

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...

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 Coronaviru...

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...

Everyone has had a moment (or more) of Imposter Syndrome when they internally doubt themselves. I have too, but in a different way than most people. Let's talk about it. It's Saturday, I'm in the office so it must be the #SaturdayMorningHustle. Listen to the podcast every weekend while your competition is still sleeping.  The Saturday Morning Hustle t-shirts are now available a...

Jack Welch was a very well known and respected business leader who passed away this week. Welch wa s 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 succes...

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 throu...

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 see...

Let's talk about passion, desire and love.... for your startup, business or entrepreneur life.  You never work a day in your life if you love what you do. So, do you have it like that or are you just pretending? Are you building for the future or trying not to burn out? Let's discuss. 

That's right, a #SaturdayMorningHustle exclusive! The key to success is..... listen to find out. 

Sports and “hero worship” are on full display this week with the “Big Game” today and the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the life of Kobe Bryan along with his daughter and seven other people. Let’s discuss it all - positive, negative and irrelevant.

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 o...

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...

Yes, it's that simple. Well, sort of. Give me 8 minutes to explain. (Sorry about the occasional windshield wiper noise) The work you do today, creates the opportunities of tomorrow. With that in mind, how much time, effort and attention are you willing to pour into today? The one thing you can control 100% of is your effort. So let's hustle! #SaturdayMorningHustle  It's Saturday, I'm in the office...

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...
