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. Hit me up on Twitter: (@)KyleGolding or here on Instagram with questions, comments or whatever you need to solve a problem, motivate you to be your best or simply to make your day. That's the point of this podcast and all my social media post. ⠀
⠀
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.

“Everyone” is not your client. #ThrowbackThursday 3 years ago. My @iabcokc presentation "Stop Selling. Build Audience." No more selling by features or price points. Tell a story, give an experience, create an attitude, embrace a lifestyle. Connect to your audience in deep, powerful ways for true loyalty. Relationship-based content marketing can take your brand well past a logo and cutline to true fan club status. Always speak in your brand voice. Stay true, simple and consistent for the greatest impact.⠀

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 way. ⠀
⠀
What do you think? How do you keep from burning out or losing effectiveness? Let's talk about it. #Hustle #Grind and #HaveFun - How Is that Possible? Avoiding Burnout.⠀

"The Two (and a half) Reasons People Complain" ⠀
⠀
1. They want a resolution. #LegitComplaint⠀
They want a fix to the problem (or something they perceived as a problem). You can offer a solution because the complaint is valid (you screwed up) then do so. Take this opportunity to create not only a better impression but potential a very positive outcome for your business by doing the right thing for the customer. Often your biggest fan can come out of handling a complaint situation better than expected.⠀
⠀
If you cannot fix the problem, because it’s not an actual problem with your delivery but that customs’ expectation, offer an apology for misunderstanding and engage them on how you can attempt to come closer to reaching their expectations. Keep it simple “How can I make this right?” as your attempt to remedy the situation. If the customer wants to reach a #LegitComplaint resolution, this is how you do it. If they do not - don’t spend energy on back-and-forth or trying to meet unrealistic expectations - then you can count them in category 2. #LetMeSpeakToYourManager (below).⠀
⠀
2. They just want to be right. #LetMeSpeakToYourManager⠀
This is for themselves to feel better about the experience that wasn’t exactly as they envisioned it, oftentimes with unrealistic expectations. That lack of reality is their fault, not yours but you will never convince them of that - so don’t waste your time and energy. Their input is not about making your business better in the future, but they want to feel better by telling you off. You cannot fix this.⠀
⠀
In this case, let them vent. Let them tell you what was wrong (realistic expectation or not) and offer a sincere apology but then move on immediately whether they take the apology or not. If they’re interested in an actual apology, they will take it on your first try. If they are not interested in finding a resolution, they’re not going to accept your apology ever. Don’t invest too much time and energy. Give the apology they want and then move on.⠀

For Success, Build The Foundation FIRST! #SaturdayMorningHustle ⠀
⠀
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.⠀
⠀
Bonus Advice: If you’re working a product or business just to get rich, stop now and go get a J-O-B somewhere else. Have passion and energy or #GTFO.⠀

A major back to school event is little more than a week away. Three non-profits partnering to give children free haircuts. This event is a labor of love where new and established non-profits will come together to honor Annie Lillard, a friend who died a year ago in a car crash.⠀
⠀
The Annie Lillard Legacy looks to give back to the community as a whole, and to bring joy to the journey of single parenthood by proving resources. It is spearheading the free haircut event on August 11th.⠀
⠀
Annie Lillard also had a special place in her heart for the Boys and Girls Club. On Sunday, August 11th, the Memorial Park location will make their gym into a salon for the afternoon. The goal is to help parents not have to decide between spending limited funds on school supplies, uniforms, or haircuts.⠀
⠀
“They can come and get a nice haircut for their child of all ethnicities, it doesn't matter. They are going to have different stylists who can do all types of hair,” says A. Jaye Johnson, Boys and Girls Club senior community relations director.⠀
⠀
The groups are still accepting volunteer stylists if you are interested in being a part of this community event.⠀
