View this post on Instagram #SaturdayMorningHustle Lot's of people talk about Work / Life balance for #Entrepreneurs, #BusinessOwners, #SideHustler and #RiseAndGrind personalities but #Balance is more than that. Finding real balance in your life when you have dedicated yourself to building a business, career or self-brand also includes how and when you talk about your pursuits, when to "sell" and when to pass and when to be proud of what you do (and how you do it) vs. being obnoxious about it. Communicate your "Why" not your sales numbers.⠀ ⠀ You can't be shy or nothing ever happens BUT if you're about that life 150% of the time you don't have room for anything (or anyone) else. So how does one manage passion with being social or drive to succeed with being supportive of others? Let's talk about it. Join the discussion. Thanks and good luck!⠀ ⠀ #Hustle #Grind #WorkSmart #WorkHard #Promote #SelfMade #WorkLifeBalance #StartWithWhy #Motivation #Collaboration #Communication #Networking #Social #Advice #EvenOnTheWeekend #Startup #Business #Career #Success A post shared by Kyle Golding (@thekylegolding) on Sep 29, 2018 at 6:40am PDT Advertisements

View this post on Instagram #SaturdayMorningHustle #Advice A central theme of my last 4 new client orientations (for @TheGoldingGroup) has been the function of Branding and Marketing as a filter to the sales funnel, not a catch-all. Too many people want their brand, marketing, advertising and PR to be "everything to everyone" which is a mistake. The best business marketing sets expectations for exactly what your business provides (and doesn't) how your product/service operates (and doesn't) and why EXACTLY they should be spending their money to acquire it. Everything else is just fluff. Focus on setting and meeting expectations with a realistic approach to your branding, highly focused marketing and disciplined operations create efficiency and effectiveness in your sales process. More conversion, less cost per customer and better overall profit potential. Let your branding and marketing create a sales pipeline, not a funnel. Stay focused from the beginning.

View this post on Instagram #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 post shared by Kyle Golding (@thekylegolding) on Sep 8, 2018 at 6:18am PDT
View this post on Instagram 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 A post shared by Kyle Golding (@thekylegolding) on Sep 1, 2018 at 6:13am PDT
View this post on Instagram #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 A post shared by Kyle Golding (@thekylegolding) on Aug 25, 2018 at 7:00am PDT
