Something struck me recently about the changing ideas of what makes one an entrepreneur, business owner, influencer, leader, etc…. #SaturdayMorningHustle advice: It's not always the guy in a slick suit or Zuckerberg hoodie. It's not that simple.⠀ ⠀ This last week I've interviewed a few entrepreneurs, hosted a small business/entrepreneur event and been in multiple meetings. Every time, I looked at the people involved and realized there was no "set" type of person. Old, young, male, female, suit-and-tie or jeans and a t-shirt types. All types of people, pursuing their career or other passions while trying to find ways to make it all work. That's the common bond – making your "thing" work because that's what you want to do with your life. From that, comes the common traits of successful people. Drive, determination and work ethic. You gotta want it and you gotta be willing to work for it. Not just long, hard hours but odd, not convenient hours. ⠀ ⠀ Are you willing to do more than "the other guy/girl" to be successful? That's what really matters. Not what you look like, where you came from, what your favorite band is or how "cool" you are. That's the common denominator. Good luck, see you next week!⠀ ⠀ #RiseAndGrind #Entrepreneur #WorkSmart then #WorkHard #Business #Success #Truth #EvenOnTheWeekend #Grind #Hustle #StartUpLife #NoExcuses #BusinessOwner #Leadership #Dedication #Commitment #CoffeeAndDonuts #SmallBusinessOKC #NoShortcuts #Motivation #Career #AboveAndBeyond #Advice #Inspire #Motivate #Opportunity #Caffeine #Effort #Win

You can only do one, so choose! Make Excuses -OR- Make Progress. Do you have #SaturdayMorningHustle in you or not?⠀ ⠀ If you're in it to win it, then you have no time for worrying, blaming others or finding reasons not to do something. If you want to be successful, get to work! ⠀ ⠀ #Hustle #Grind #EvenOnTheWeekend if you're a true #Entrepreneur #BusinessOwner or #1 employee. Grab a cup of #Coffee and a #Donut and #DoWork.⠀ ⠀ #RiseAndGrind if #Success is what you want. It's all up to you. The only thing you can control is your #Effort, #Focus and #Passion for what you do. ⠀ ⠀ Procrastination and excuses -OR- accomplishments and success. Like the old saying goes, #Winners never quit, and Quitters never win. It's all up to you.⠀ ⠀ One month ago today I missed a Saturday Morning Hustle for the first time in over a year due to complications from surgery. But, I didn't let missing time off work, being sore and uncomfortable while healing stop me from reaching goals and getting my work done. You can do it too. Like Nike says, Just Do It! #GoodLuck⠀ ⠀ Check out the #SaturdayMorningHustle podcast on Anchor App, @Spotify #iTunes or #IGTV (link in IG Story). #ThankYou #Saturday #Coffee #Donuts #Caffeine #Motivation #WorkSmart #WorkHard

The #SaturdayMorningHustle is all about effort: #Hustle and #Grind #EvenOnTheWeekend BUT you can’t lose sight of why you’re doing the work. Dont forget what it is that motivates you to put in that extra work. The people who are important in your life, a drive to be the best you can be or simply taking a challenge head on. ⠀ ⠀ With the upcoming holidays are full of distractions, but you can’t let that kill the motivation that you’ve created all your long. At the same time, you shouldn’t ignore family and friends in order to put in extra work on your side hustle, start-up, self brand or small business. So how do you balance the Entrepreneur life during the holidays? Adapt. ⠀ ⠀ In Nov. and Dec. your regular schedule will be tested. The “extra” time you find on nights and weekends will be less thanks to holiday parties, shopping and family time. The key is to find new, often smaller, times and situations to utlize. Stay motivated, focused and most of all organized. Use free time between work, family and fun times to prep for dedicated work times. Make the most of what you can, when you can. All without skipping out on the important people in your life. ⠀ ⠀ Enjoy some time off for the holidays. Spend time with family and friends. Recharge your batteries and reaffirm your motivation. ⠀ ⠀ See you next week. Good luck! #RiseAndGrind #Entrepreneur #WorkSmart then #WorkHard #Business #Success #Truth #StartUpLife #NoExcuses #BusinessOwner #Leadership #Dedication #Commitment #CoffeeAndDonuts #SmallBusinessOKC #NoShortcuts #Motivation #Career #AboveAndBeyond #Advice #Inspire #Motivate #Opportunity

Stop, collaborate and listen. The #SaturdayMorningHustle is back with a brand new edition. I’m all about collaborating as the best pathway to success. In 2018 (2019 and beyond) the old rules of business no longer apply. New business models and combinations are creating new opportunities. Virtual businesses, side-hustles and startups are taking advantage of collaboration and non-traditional working arrangements for win-win situations. We’re doing this with all our clients at The Golding Group. Welcome to the future. Find the right partners for all the right reasons and collaborate. Alternatively, walk away from inequitable business relationships and “in the box” thinkers. That’s old news and not where you want to be. Your happiness will be up and your stress down if you choose to collaborate with the right partners for the right reasons. Work smart, work hard, be open to the process and success will follow. #RiseAndGrind #Collaboration #Entrepreneur #WorkSmart then #WorkHard #Business #Success #Truth #EvenOnTheWeekend #StartUpLife #NoExcuses #BusinessOwner #Leadership #Dedication #Commitment #CoffeeAndDonuts #NoShortcuts #Motivation #Career #AboveAndBeyond #Advice #Inspire #Motivate #Opportunity

Sorry folks, but there’s not a #SaturdayMorningHustle post this week. When your mind says “take a day off” you can #Hustle and #Grind through. But when your body, your Dr. and several surgeons tell you to stop and fix something – you should listen to them. I’ll be back next week, so keep doing what your doing. ⠀ ⠀ Thanks to everyone who likes, comments, shares the #SMH post, videos and podcast. You motivate me to #RiseAndGrind every week. #Entrepreneur #WorkSmart then #WorkHard #Business #Success #Truth #EvenOnTheWeekend #StartUpLife #NoExcuses #BusinessOwner #Leadership #Dedication #Commitment #CoffeeAndDonuts #NoShortcuts #Motivation #Career #AboveAndBeyond #Advice #Inspire #Motivate #Opportunity

Break your patterns! Interrupt your routine. Avoid burnout and create opportunity for yourself. Be creative. #SaturdayMorningHustle keys to success include #Hustle #Grind and #Consistency but occasionally you need to take a break. The question is when and how? The answer is…. it’s up to you. Everyone is different.⠀ ⠀ In communications, it’s called a pattern interruption. Change the standard response to create a new, difference opportunity to connect. Be interesting. ⠀ ⠀ Be memorable. But most of all, find ways to connect, communicate and create the potential for a relationship (personal, business or other). ⠀ ⠀ #WorkSmart then #WorkHard but find ways to make your routine less routine to keep your battery charged and communications open.⠀ ⠀ Check out the 5 min.
