#SaturdayMorningHustle taking advice from the great Don Draper on #MadMen when he tells the owner of scandalized Caldecott Farms dog food “Any agency that does not change the name is stealing your money. The product is good, it’s high-quality, dogs love it, but the name has been poisoned.” She does not agree of course. Draper goes on to tell her to find a new agency because she won't follow his professional advice – and he's right! ⠀ ⠀ This advice is very similar to a quote of mine in a recent @databoxHQ article "The Reasons Why Agencies Say ‘No’ to New Business"⠀ ⠀ Agencies want to do great work for their clients. Their livelihood depends on it. So when it doesn’t look like a project will succeed, it’s in their best interest to not accept the client. It’s not always an easy decision. But according to the agencies we heard from, it’s one worth making.⠀ ⠀ Kyle Golding, chief strategic idealist at @TheGoldingGroup, says that the most common reason his agency turns down potential clients is inflexible leadership in the client company. These projects can be doomed from the start, he says.⠀ ⠀ “If you’re not willing to make changes, then why are you hiring us?” added Golding, who looks for executives that are not only comfortable with his agency’s ideas but excited about them. https://databox.com/why-agencies-say-no ⠀ ⠀ Don Draper and I agree, anyone you hire (or hires you) has to be a "fit" in style, approach and willingness to do what works, not what's easy or what the client wants to hear. That's just stealing your money. Sometimes it doesn't work out, and the professional relationship should end. ⠀ ⠀ #Audience #Client #Advice #Consulting #Business #Entrepreneur #Coach #Agency #Collaboration #Partnership #Success #WorkSmart #WorkHard #Relationship #EvenOnTheWeekend #BoomerSooner

A #SaturdayMorningHustle reminder to stay focused on what’s important and true for you. The reason I come in early, stay late, hustle, grind and do all the things I do for my business is because I’m trying to build something for my family, to live the life we want to live. It’s not always about becoming rich and famous. It is about doing what feels good to you, what feels right to you and what makes sense for you. When you combine those things in a business (that can be profitable and sustainable) you’re doing it the right way. Not for all the wrong reasons. ⠀ ⠀ Understanding your “Why" (you guys know what I’m talking about right? Simon Sinek – Start With Why – Go look him up if you don’t know) makes it all happen in the right way. Can you combine your “Why” and your experience and your passion? ⠀ ⠀ Keep your ethics, stay true to yourself and build a business for your life. Be an #Entrepreneur, build a #StartUp or start your #SideHustle. Good luck!⠀ ⠀ Today is the kick off of college football. I’m a huge OU Sooner fan. I’m on my way to the game soon, but wanted you to have this message and remind myself why we all #Hustle and #Grind for #Success.⠀ ⠀ #GoodLuck #WorkSmart and #WorkHard #Leadership #EvenOnTheWeekends #Marketing #Advertising #PR #PublicRelations #Promotions #Profit #Win #Motivation #Business #SelfBrand #Career #Process #Inspire #Motivate #Podcast #Video #OKCSmallBusiness

#SaturdayMorningHustle The Real Way To Build Real Success In The Real World: Everyone wants to talk about how bad they want success, what they are willing to do for it, how long it's been on their mind (since I was a kid!). Only a portion of these same people actually has the talent to pull it off. Of that group, who is willing to hustle, grind and patiently build from the ground up? The building process is where success comes from. Not (ista)fame or being an overnight sensation, but actually building a brand (or self-brand) from nothing. Why? Because understanding how it was build will allow you to adapt to changes that WILL happen. The market, your audience, the competition will push back on your vision of the brand. Things will change. Will you know what to do when that change occurs? And then when it happens again (and again, and again)? The key to sustainable success is understanding every element of a business. How you got from idea to launch to audience attention to success. Skipping steps or having someone hands you a finished product does NOT do that. #Motivation #Video #Podcast #Advice #RiseAndGrind #Entrepreneur #WorkSmart then #WorkHard #Business #Success #Truth #EvenOnTheWeekend #Grind #Hustle #StartUpLife #NoExcuses #BusinessOwner #Leadership #Dedication #Commitment #CoffeeAndDonuts #SmallBusinessOKC #Inspire #Motivate #OKCPodcast

Work Smart Then Work Hard For #SaturdayMorningHustle Success! There are two equally important aspects to creating success. #WorkSmart and then #WorkHard. You can't just do one or the other and expect to win.⠀ ⠀ #WorkSmart is the research, planning and documentation of how you will create your successful endeavor. This is your business plan, your strategy and financials. You must have these in order to create and capitalize on attention and conversion of your marketing efforts. This is a lot of work and can be intimidating for many. But, once done this information will make decision making easy and fast with the assurance you're on the right path. Very helpful when all you see is work and not enough rewards (yet). Be patient.⠀ ⠀ #WorkHard is the hustle and grind. You have to execute every single day. It's a marathon, consisting of hundreds of sprints. Stay focused and consistent. Work every aspect of your plan from the most basic item to the top-end. Put max effort into your #WorkSmart plan or it will fail. Start with a plan before #WorkHard to win!
