#SaturdayMorningHustle Podcast

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)...

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 yo...

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...

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 ma...

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...

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...

Just because a lot of people have Monday off is no reason to skip the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast this week. Let's talk about why Memorial Day is important, give thanks to the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving this great country and of course FREEDOM! Bonus #ShoutOut to Maj. Ed Pulido for inspiring me this week with his positive attitude while currently dealing wi...

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 pe...

We talk a lot on the #SaturdayMorningHustle about the path to success. This morning, I break down that path in the most simple way possible. Once you see how the parts, you can make your plan for achieving success for yourself.  Authenticity  Consistency Effort Patience Bonus: The #SaturdayMorningHustle t-shirts are now available for everyone at http://bit.ly/SMHshirt so get yours today...

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...

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 b...

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...

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 experimen...

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...

Question: What is the definition of success? That thing we all chase, the reason we work on the weekend, the ultimate motivator.... How do you define success? Let's talk about it! After you listen to this week's episode, tell me your definition of success on social media. @KyleGolding on Twitter: https://twitter.com/KyleGolding or @TheKyleGolding on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thekylegold...

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 o...

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 a...

The #SaturdayMorningHustle is behind-the-scenes as I prepare for my BBB of Central Oklahoma #Entrepreneur #TrustTalk on March 14th. In my presentation, I will explain the best strategies, insights & tactics to be successful in your business without burning yourself out! Today, I'm working through these ideas and giving you a sneak peek at the presentation. Want to attend? Hit linktr.ee/bbbcent...

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 success...

#SaturdayMorningHustle today, I'm not giving any business advice or inspirational quotes. Instead, I'm asking you these 2 question: What are you working on and how can I (or anyone listening to the podcast) help you? It's just that simple. On the Anchor.fm app use the call-in feature. If you're listening on iTunes or Spotify or another podcast service find me on Twitter @KyleGolding or Instagram @...

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 ru...

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,...

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 busin...

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, questio...

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,...
