Welcome to the end of the year and a decade. But we're ending this year the same way we started it - #RiseAndGrind #SaturdayMorningHustle outworking the competition while they sleep in. That's the point of this podcast, to reaffirm that idea. #Hustle #Grind and #Effort are the keys to success. Being a boss isn't just about being in charge or making the most money. More important than that is contr...

I have some ideas for you. It's Saturday, I'm in...

A different take on balancing opposite concepts on an all-new #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast.

Let's talk about why balance in appr...

It's time to be thankful, just a few days after Thanksgiving. What are we thankful for? Small businesses. The lifeblood of the American economy. Sure you #ShopLocal and #SupportLocal and once a year we have #SmallBusinessSaturday right after #BlackFriday and right before #CyberMonday (and don't forget #GivingTuesday) but supporting small businesses is a 365 day a year good idea.

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 re...

Veteran's Day is next week. Let's get started early thanking the men and women who serve in our military to protect our freedom. It's the #SaturdayMorningHustle thing to do. After all, without Freedom of Speech, Private Property and Assembly there might not be a SMH podcast.

Not a typical #SaturdayMorningHustle this week. Take a listen to find out why everything is different this week. 

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....

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. You've heard this before, right? With the start of College Football this weekend, this is my reminder to enjoy what all your hard work brings to your life. What's the point of all that #Hustle and #Grind if you can't really take time away from your pursuits to do things that make you happy? After all, a happy hustler is a productive hustler. ...

That's right, I'm not passing out #SaturdayMorningHustle advice this week - I'm asking you questions, so I can (hopefully) answer them for you. What are you working on, what can I do to help you, how can other people help you? What questions do you have? Do you need suggestions for a project, advice for a startup or assistance with your career? Ask! Not only will I reply, maybe others will as well...

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...

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....

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 o...

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...
