Good morning, and welcome to a different type of Saturday Morning Hustle podcast. I am all dressed up today. I'm not in my usual Saturday Morning Hustle swag, a t-shirt, sweatshirt, etc. This gives me an opportunity to talk to you on a podcast today about how to set and manage expectations, understanding who you're talking to, who your audience is, and what they need to see and hear from you in order for them to take you seriously and not be focused on small things such as how you're dressed or something else superficial.

You only get one chance to make a first impression once. What matters most is the expectations of the person or group of people you're meeting, collaborating with, presenting to, etc. The number one rule in communication is understanding your audience. Understand who you're talking to and what their expectations are.

So when you have a formal presentation or you're in a meeting with someone who dresses a certain way, I try to accommodate their expectations.

Success is a journey, not a destination; the path is full of unexpected deviations. You can't get too set on an idea of success because "the real world" will change that picture. Don't believe me? Just ask Luguentz (Lu) Dort, the starting shooting guard for the OKC Thunder NBA franchise. His story just might be your story (not really, but we can learn from his unconventional path to success).

The key is learning how to balance "sticking with the plan" with knowing "when to get out" of a plan that just won't work BUT not too soon or making major changes too often. It's the ultimate balancing act.

Let's talk about it. Original episode 8/20/20.

Let's discuss the management lessons we can all learn from the bad guy Brad Wesley in the 1984 cult classic movie Road House. Believe it or not, he brings a lot of excellent management and leadership skills with him. I'm going to break them all down for you today.

He utilized the following business development tools: work-life balance, delegation, strategy first, then action, working from a point of strength, getting your hands dirty, and doing what's necessary when it's necessary (within reason).

Spoiler Alert (c'mon, this film has been out for three decades): Brad Wesley ultimately fails because his motivation (evil) and strategy (destroying all competition at any cost) are flawed. Don't fall into either of these self-imposed traps.

Don't miss Pt1, the Business Process Management (BPM) lessons we can all learn from Dalton in Road House. Patrick Swayze plays Dalton, the newly hired head bouncer (called a Cooler) at a rowdy club that needs a turnaround.

Today, we revisit a long-lost episode of the Saturday Morning Hustle podcast that had technical difficulties and was never posted but it's a good, concise discussion episode you don't want to miss.

A lot of people say they want success. They say they have to hustle. They say they have to grind. But do they really have what it takes to be successful at what they're trying to build? Do they have the patience, the forethought, the talent, and will they really hustle and grind, or do they think it's something easy like they see on TV?

You have to bring something new to the market—something interesting, unique, or different about yourself and how you do what you do—something people can connect to.

Everyone wants immediate success. Guess what? The world doesn't work like that. So, if you want to be successful, you'll have to build it. Nobody can just hand it to you.
