Well-Oiled Operations with Stacy Tuschl (Stacy Tuschl)

I get so many DM's in my inbox each day wanting to know the behind the scenes of my life! Whether it be business or personal, people want to know it all...I'm answering my most frequently asked questions that pop through my DM's like, "What are your must-have programs for your business?" and "What do you eat on a daily basis?" and "What is the best investment you have made in your business?" I have spent so much time, money and energy researching what's best and I truly think many of my favorite things could benefit you too!

"The best investment I made was when I finally invested in a business coach..." At minute 2:55, I'm giving you insights into who are some of the best coaches I've had, insight into online courses I've bought and the people who have inspired me. Plus I'm sharing a few of my favorite business books! At 7:30, I'm sharing how I decide what software/technology I use in my business.

"I eat for business, I eat for productivity, I eat for my children..." At 10:48, we're getting personal with my routine for what I eat, dietary restrictions and what I've found works for me including Bulletproof and intermittent fasting.

"I really have seen drastic changes..." At minute 25:30, I'm sharing 2 things that have drastically helped my sleep, an insight into my workouts and the product I found that has helped my thinning hair.

"I want to have good quality product on my skin and hair..." At 34:35, I'm talking about what products I use for skincare and makeup, my favorite places to shop *gushing about Nordstrom!* and what I love for my kids.

In this episode of the Well-Oiled Operations™ podcast, Stacy dives into mastering a winning mindset with Kara Loewentheil, a life coach, author, and former lawyer. The conversation explores deep insights into mindset, personal growth, and the societal conditioning that uniquely affects women in business. Stacy and Kara discuss how to break free from limiting beliefs and societal expectations to achieve true success and alignment in both life and business. They delve into the concept of the "brain gap," shedding light on the disparities in socialization between men and women and how these differences shape women's thoughts and behaviors. 

Also in this episode: 

• The difference in how men and women are socialized leads to varying impacts on their professional lives and self-perception.

• Identify and articulate your own values to guide decisions and ensure they align with your beliefs and goals.

• Reflect on whether your ambitions are genuinely yours or influenced by external expectations and societal norms.

• Move forward with just enough belief in yourself to take the necessary actions, even if you aren't fully confident.

About The Guest:

Kara Loewentheil is a Master Certified Life Coach and host of the New York Times-recommended podcast "Unf*ck Your Brain." She helps women overcome anxiety and internalized social programming.

Hello Empire Builders! It's time for another Flash Friday and today I am sharing the one thing I do to keep me motivated and keep my goals in sight. This includes things for my business and personal life both physical and spiritual. It keeps me in check to remember why I do what I do and turns my dreams into reality!

Thinking of hiring an assistant? I don't know what I'd do without mine! She's essential to the success of my business.
Today I'm talking all about all the things an executive assistant can take off your plate.

The question I'm asked most often is around who to hire, when to hire, and how to find the best fit for the position.

If you're on the fence about who to hire, you won't want to miss this episode.

This really needs to be the year you hire an executive assistant because I'm sure you still have tasks on your list that aren't the best use of your time as the CEO of your small business.

3 key points in today's episode:

* The difference between an executive assistant and a personal assistant

* Thoughts on hiring local vs. virtual (someone local has major perks)

* How to assess your needs to create the right role and hire the right person

Time to take checking email, scheduling appointments, or creating intake forms off your schedule to free up space for visioning, planning, and creating offers.

Welcome back to episode #306! Do you ever feel hesitant to go for the sale? I'm talking, your voice starts shaking, hands start sweating...I get it! Sales has never been "my thing," but it is not only necessary for a business to survive, it is necessary to impact others. Thanks to the help of my good friend Colin Boyd, I think I have finally been able to grasp the concept that others are depending on me to sell to them! We are always on "stage" if you think about it! Whether it be a Facebook live, a local networking event or just chatting with someone you just met in a grocery store. Speaking is something we all do! And as Colin says, "speaking is selling!" And that's exactly why I am so excited to introduce you to Colin today.

"I definitely haven't always been confident in that..." At minute 1:42, hear Colin's background and how selling became his thing. I ask Colin if he had a fear of selling or if it came naturally to him. 

"I got really clear on what I was telling myself..." At 6:24, we're talking all things mindset, how to start a conversation and what Colin has done to gain confidence. Colin is sharing his tips on how to get into the right mindset and build confidence PLUS he gives us a few sample questions to help us build up our confidence and get in the right mindset. 

"You always have to ask twice to get an audience response..." At minute 14:40, Colin gives us examples of what he expects when he gets on stage and how he teaches the audience to always give a response. How can we sell our stuff without felling like we or our clients aren't crossing the line. 

"I'm actually disrespecting their journey if they want to go deeper with me ..." At 24:24, we talk about what happens if you don't make an offer to your people after talking on stage and how selling is actually serving. Colin tells us the 3 elements to story telling and how to tell a story that helps your audience take on the belief that what you're selling is right for them. 

If you want the template to download and create your own signature story head over to colinboyd.co/story and if you are looking to connect more with Colin, head over to his website, colinboyd.co and in his free Facebook group The Expert Edge or @colinboyd!

She talks about the 'go to' methods she uses and about trying new strategies. She discusses the need to take risks.  Maria and Stacy talk about the importance of having everything in your business look great during a launch because people will be checking out every aspect of your business and what you have to offer. Maria talks about her goals and her virtual book tour, which happens in the 2 weeks leading up to her book launch. They also discuss the importance of building relationship and how it's never too early to start establishing them. 

"3 levels of influencers." At 13:38 Maria describes her 3 levels of influencers and their various launch requirements. She tells Stacy how she's not afraid to do book giveaways, because you will get back so much more in the end.

Her workshop ends with ideas on sales and provides real life examples about authors who have made money on things other than book sales. Maria also talks about her group coaching service for published authors looking to drive their book sales through marketing.       

"What would be holding someone back?" At 22:31 Maria talks about the two reasons people have been held back. She goes in to details about writing capabilities and people who are not action takers. She talks about the need to be an action taker in order to publish and market a book. "You have to be willing to do some of the work to make money."

"How can people actually make money from this?"  At minute 24:16 Maria explains how to monetize. She talks to Stacy about building her speaking career first and incorporating her book to be a part of that. She encourages other to think out of the box and take your expertise and create a service. She also goes in to detail about creating boundaries and knowing when to say no in business.

Stacy Tuschl is a speaker, business coach, and the owner of The Academy of Performing Arts in Wisconsin. She is the author of the book “Is Your Business Worth Saving?” where she reveals proven strategies for pulling entrepreneurs out of a rut and launching them toward business success.

While being an entrepreneur you can let your imagination run as wild as you want, but when it comes to launching…there’s no place for assumptions.
However, that’s the mistake 90% of the entrepreneurs make, which leads only to sheer disappointment, fatigue, and failure.
Stepping out of your comfort zone and cultivating growth mindset is crucial to the success of your launch (and your business). However, you cannot expect to hit your goals just by visualizing and meditating about it.
Today is Day 5 of the “Launched in 90 Days” Challenge, now so far we have talked about everything from your launch vision and mindset to finding your perfect person and launching your offer like a pro (by choosing one of the proven launch models).
Today I want you to take a step back from planning your launch and see what costly mistakes other entrepreneurs are making + how these mistakes are affecting their launches (in a bad way).

1. UNREALISTIC SALES PROJECTIONS – Unrealistic Goals = Setting yourself up for failure. Launching your offer to a list of 100 and expecting to make $100K is wishful thinking that only leads you to an abyss of disappointment.I am in no way saying that it’s not possible to have a profitable launch with a small list, but it’s important to have enough quality leads to convert at a good percentage. 
2. THE 6-FIGURE ILLUSION – The online 6-figure launch race is contagious and so many good and hard-working entrepreneurs fall prey to it even before they take off. You’ve got to learn to walk before you can run and then fly.To make 100K in 90-Days is not mission impossible but it shouldn’t be your only mission. You may need to have smaller launches to boost your Know, Like & Trust Factor and build up towards a mega-launch. 
3. OVERCONFIDENCE – Being confident in your abilities is one thing, but neglecting super important aspects of your launch is simply overconfidence. You can’t expect to be a know-it-all, do-it-all kind of person and have a lucrative launch.Get out of your head and go out there to really listen to your dream clients and their needs so buying your offer becomes a no-brainer when you share it with them. Also, look for a support system that’s there for you every step of the way (from pre-launch to post-launch) to keep you from falling off the wagon or feeling uninspired.

 
DAY FIVE ASSIGNMENT:

1. What are you going to do to avoid these costly launch mistakes? 
2. Would you be willing to invest your time and money in a system that will help you avoid all of these mistakes with a step-by-step launch process? 
3. What’s the importance of having sheer accountability for YOU during your launch?

 
ACTION STEPS:

1. Answer the questions above. 
2. Share your answers in the FB group with the hashtag #Launchedin90 #Day5 to be entered for a chance to win our contest. (Grand prize valued at $997) 
3. Tune in at Noon CST to watch the LIVE class in She’s Building Her Empire Community  with an amazing challenge wrap up party (we’re talking challenge winners, raffle and something spectacular that’s coming your way!)

In today’s solocast, I’m going to be talking about creating a business wish list for 2016. It is still very early in the year, and as a business owner, you need to consider what dreams you want to turn into actionable priorities. I believe that you can do incredible things with your business if you really put your mind to it and put things in action.

Every time we enter a new year, I’m really excited by what lies ahead for my business. A new year means new challenges, new possibilities, and new accomplishments. It’s up to us as business owners to really set the tone for the year and decide what direction we want our business to go in.

In this episode, I’m going to take you through the process of creating a great business wish list.

Some highlights include:

Develop a step by step action plan. You don’t want to let these plans fall by the wayside, so you’ve got to have a plan to make these wishes become realities. (minute 1:00)

Identify three items that you want to put on your business wish list this year, and develop a plan to achieve these goals. You don’t want to put too many items on your list: that’s a good way to force yourself to fail. (minute 3:00)

In order to grow, you must invest. You need to create a detailed investment strategy. (minute 8:00)

Get an accountability partner. You need to have someone to regularly review your business wish list with. This person will help keep you on track. Be consistent with these meetings and put them on the calendar! (minute 11:00)

Work with your team to accomplish your goals, and listen to them and help them achieve their own goals. (minute 12:00)

It is so easy to fall into old habits of rushing to create social media content or posting something that you know does not convert well. How many times do I tell my coaching students that you can't say "join my email newsletter list" or "get on my list just put in your name and email". No one wants to be added to any newsletter list! Sometimes, pretty and cute graphics, don't always convert. So it is time to learn how to create a 12 month marketing calendar. We are going to go over what a marketing calendar is and I am going to walk you through the steps to creating the calendar. I also will share with you my tips and tricks to make sure the calendar increases your businesses success! 

In todays episode we are going to go over: 

• Braining dumping your events are picking when to add them 
• The different types of promotional events that you should have on your calendar 
• How to implement the calendar successfully in your business

Hello Empire Builders! It's time for another Flash Friday and I want to tell you why it's SO important to do something outside of your comfort zone and why you should be looking at industries other than your own.

Matt Miller spent the first 9 years of his career as an Air Force pilot, before entering the private sector to work in both the medical device and advertising industries. While a top performer in the corporate world, his long-term desire was to be his own boss. A good friend one day mentioned the gumball machines he and his young daughters owned, and that conversation began a 10-year business quest that has brought Matt’s company, School Spirit Vending, to the cutting edge of both the vending and school fundraising industries. Today, School Spirit Vendings franchising program provides a proven and profitable business system for busy professionals and their families looking to develop secondary income streams, while raising millions of dollars for education at the same time.

In this episode, Matt and Stacy discuss the strategies you can use to make your business a success through marketing.

Some highlights include:

Matt’s boss thought he got accolades too quickly, so she gave the company a 5-10% quota increase while giving Matt a 95% quota increase. This pushed him into his own business, and at minute 2:00, Matt talks about making this change.

Have a long term vision. At minute 6:00, Matt talks about fighting through the financial challenges of the early days of his business and making his long term plan work out in the end.

Don’t put all your marketing eggs in one basket. At minute 11:00, Matt talks the importance of having a multi-pronged approach to marketing and why podcasting stands out as an incredible opportunity.

“I have been a solopreneur for most of my business journey.” At minute 19:00, Matt talks what he’s learned recently about using employees to delegate.

Get a coach. At minute 27:00, Matt talks about why you need someone on the outside to help you see what you can’t because you’re on the inside of your business.

Today I am interviewing Rhonda Moret from Elevated Diversity. I was so fortunate to be connected with Rhonda to go a little deeper on DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) and what that looks like in the workplace. Not only did I have the pleasure of picking her brain and witnessing her wealth of knowledge, but Rhonda will also be coming into our Well Oiled Operations program to work closely with our clients to educate them on the subject and give them support.

If you are still not sure how to navigate DEI and make it a true priority, why it should be a priority, and how it affects small businesses, this episode is for you. There is something in here for everyone!

In our interview we discussed:

• DEI, what it means, why it's important, how to implement it in the workplace
• Hiring inclusion as a small business owner
• Diversity in your team
• Giving women a voice in the workplace
• Inclusion in your leadership team
• Brands leveraging DEI commitment
• Displaying DEI on your careers page, website, etc.
• Where to get started on your DEI journey

We hope you love Rhonda as much as we do! Please enjoy this open and honest conversation about an incredibly important topic!

Avoiding conflict or difficult conversations with your team members isn’t going to magically make a situation better.  In fact, the longer you put it off, the worse it’s going to get.
With intentional communication strategies, you can let your team members know what needs to change in a caring and respectful way.

Things aren’t always done in alignment with your business best practices or company values. This could be because team members don’t fully believe that the system in place is essential or it could be because the system wasn’t clearly communicated.

In any case, the needs of the business need to be intentionally communicated and you can’t let that team member continue to not meet your expectations.

When you practice intentional communication guidelines, difficult conversations become easier and situations improve for everyone.

3 communication guidelines in this episode:

• Be Honest – state the facts and honestly express the consequences of the person’s actions.

• Use “I statements” – “I’ve noticed” “I believe” “I am in a difficult situation because of…” always avoid blaming or harmful, hurtful statements. If you aren’t able to maintain composure, postpone the conversation.

• Use logic vs. emotion – acknowledge the emotion first with empathy and then move on to the logic/solution.

Taking the lead on improving communication will have a ripple effect on your team and clients.

Derek Deprey delved into the world of personal growth and development shortly after becoming a General Manager for the Wisconsin Athletic Club. He couldn’t get enough of what he was studying, learning and applying, so much so that he created his own business, Move Results, as an avenue to engage and impact others through motivational speaking and leadership skill-building facilitation. He feels that the best business to start is one that you need yourself. He just knew it was right because, still to this day, he goes to bed and wakes up every morning excited to pursue his business. It truly blends his day job and his dream job.

His diverse career endeavors also include Wisconsin Lutheran College and the John Maxwell Team. With the former, he’s an Adjunct Professor of Adult and Graduate Studies as well as an active member of the Alumni Board. With the latter, he partnered with the esteemed John Maxwell Team after years of being inspired by him. He personally uses his teachings to enhance my productivity, development and decision-making skills. Saying that he like to keep himself involved and professionally connected is an understatement.

In this episode, Derek and Stacy discuss what he has been able to do while running his own business at the same time as having a more traditional job.

Some highlights include:

Do you have to completely quit your 9-to-5 job to pursue your own business? At minute 1:00, Derek talks about how he’s been able to do both.

Plan the FEW. At minute 3:00, Derek talks about why it’s so important to have a plan when it comes to food, exercise, and water.

Find your foundation. At minute 8:00, Derek talks about why he doesn’t think work-life balance exists, but work-life fusion does.

Eat the banana! At minute 9:00, Derek talks about why he believes you should start out your day by doing something you love, not something you hate.

You can truly impact lives. At minute 16:00, Derek talks about what he loves about being an entrepreneur.

"I became obsessed with building my own team..." At minute 1:21, if you don't know who Theresa is, I'm letting her share her story and fill us in to how she got where she is now. Theresa gives us some tips on how to become a visionary if you are a natural integrator and some things she did to make sure she knows she is in the right roll in her business.

"You never hand out tasks, you hand out responsibilities..." At 9:15 I ask Theresa if it's possible for any company to run with one person and do it all on their own. She explains the 3 levels of entrepreneurship and tells us why we all need help sometimes! Plus, Theresa tells how us we can stay in our zone of genius by giving your team responsibilities.

"They hire for skills instead of characteristics..." At minute 15:09, Theresa tells us some of the biggest mistakes people make when hiring a new team member. We also dive into training a new team member, why your business needs to have systems in place and how Theresa creates a new process.

"Those are the first things that you hand off..." At 27:42 we talk about where someone should start if you are looking to hire your first team member.

Welcome back to another episode of the Foot Traffic podcast!!

The fear of, “Will my business make it through a recession?” is totally normal to have right now since we don’t know what the short term future is going to look like.

It’s scary. I get it because it is the unknown.

As a small business owner who has gone through a recession In 2008, I would love to ease your mind and help you get through this and strategize so you can sleep better at night.

Today I'm talking about 4 things you can be doing right now to be proactive and move your business forward even during these times.

1. Cut all unnecessary spending.  You have apps, software, other items you are paying for that are not working.  They are not helping your business.
2. Do not cut money makers - Don’t downsize programs to ones that look worse and don’t cut revenue generators
3. Lean into what is working
4. Stay Positive - Last recession my business increased revenue every year, I plan to do that again

Welcome back to episode #270, this is going to be a long one but please stick around the whole thing! I'm sure there has been a point in time where you have invested in an event, seminar, program or course and thought to yourself, "What a waste of money!" I literally can't believe I am saying this, but for a moment, I thought I had just wasted my money attending a 4-day Tony Robbins event. I can't lie and say I didn't think that thought.

“I feel like a spoiled brat even saying this to you…” At minute 2:26 I share my honest opinion of the Tony Robbins event and how I went in with high and built up expectations. Was it worth it? Should I have spent the time and money?

“Progress equals happiness…” At 6:41 I talk about how some of us are waiting for that breakthrough and want to go from 0-100 overnight. Is there growth and progress happening or have you hit a plateau? I go into the 6 human needs that Tony talks about and why they are important and the one that fuels me everyday.

“You don’t have room to think other thoughts…” At minute 14:12 have you ever walked on fire? I did! I’m sharing my experience with the infamous firework everyone does at this event. I can’t tell you enough how empowering this was for mindset and life in general and just because someone says ‘go’ doesn't mean you go.

“The crazy girl…” At 20:26 I go into meditation and the benefits on mindset, your day and I include my experience with meditation before the event, what it looked like at the event and why it’s going back on my to-do list. I tell you what I need to do more of and work less. I’m also sharing a story of a girl at this event that stood up and asked Tony a question out of nowhere. I know we’ve all been that ‘crazy’ girl where we miss what’s going on around us.

“Beliefs are truly everything…” At minute 28:36 I’m diving into beliefs, who we are and our identity. Why you need to associate pain with things you do and the exercise we did that was SO powerful that you need to do yourself. Why you need to know your goals for every single area and the endgame of those.

“You never know who you’re talking to…” At 37:56 I’m talking about why it’s so important to model and mirror people, build connections and find rapport with other people. Second, why health is everything to our lives and how my whole world changed. I’m also sharing my favorite quotes from Tony and what I got from them!

Payroll and benefits are hard. Especially when you’re a small business. Gusto is making payroll, benefits, and HR easy for modern small businesses. You no longer have to be a big company to get great technology, great benefits, and great service to take care of your team.

Through my Well-Oiled Operations™ approach, I assist entrepreneurs in attracting customers, increasing profits, and finding personal happiness.

Let me guide you in transforming your local business into your ultimate vision, fostering tranquility, prosperity, and fulfillment.

This Podcast Is Produced, Engineered & Edited By:  Simplified Impact

Stacy Tuschl is a speaker, business coach, and the owner of The Academy of Performing Arts in Wisconsin. She is the author of the book “Is Your Business Worth Saving?” where she reveals proven strategies for pulling entrepreneurs out of a rut and launching them toward business success.

Although my signature program is called “The Profit Mastermind”, business is not all about profits, is it?
Well, I know that as responsible and impact-making entrepreneurs, we’re in business to make money so we can bring about a positive change in the world – all while living a deeply fulfilling life ourselves.
But restraining our thought and goal-setting process to just money is a grave injustice to our dreams, desires and God-gifted abilities to help others.

So when it comes to packaging up your ideas into one fine offer and putting it out in the world (a.k.a. launching), you shouldn’t keep your focus ONLY on SALES.

Because the more concerned you are about your numbers (instead of the overall impact you are making), the more those numbers will evade you…to the point that it almost becomes a never-ending episode of “hide & seek.”
When your sole motivation is your rising or declining numbers, you will act from a place of scarcity during your launch instead of a place of abundance, and that creates a no-win situation for you and your audience.

For a successful launch, you need to have the mindset of a leader. One that:

• Radiates your true energy out in the world in a confident way
• Knows that sales numbers have nothing to do with your value or worth
• Enables you to share your very best with the world even when you don’t feel like it
• Lets you claim your brilliance and encourages you to stay on track to make your mark in the world

Once you’re mentally prepared to slay your fears as they emerge, willing to look beyond numbers and gauge the real impact of your launch, and have a buddy by your side cheering on you as you move forward, sales numbers automatically fall into place.  
 
DAY TWO ASSIGNMENT:

1. Take a moment and look deep inside of you. List down all the fears that are possibly holding you back from having a successful launch.  
2. What will make you feel abundant during your launch? Apart from the sales numbers, set tangible goals for yourself and savor the moments when you achieve them (e.g. Increased list size, social proof, appreciation, engagement and activity, impact made, etc.)
3. Launches don’t have to be an uphill battle. Who is the one person you want by your side during your launch to keep you accountable and celebrate your wins no matter how small they are? 

 
ACTION STEPS:

1. Answer the questions above. 
2. Share your answers in the FB group with the hashtag #Launchedin90 #Day2 to be entered for a chance to win our contest. (Grand prize valued at $997) 
3. Tune in at Noon CST to watch the LIVE class in She’s Building Her Empire Community.

 
Listen up, I’m going to show you how you can launch in 90 days but I can't force you to achieve spectacular results, so I need you to step up and do the work.

See you in the Facebook Group with rest of the challengers!

Are you the bottleneck in your own business?

You probably spend time considering all the reasons you’re not growing and scaling your business. And yes, there are many factors in play.

But I’m just going to tell it like it is and say it has a lot more to do with you than anything you could change externally. Even if you don't mean to be, you could very well be the bottleneck in your business and getting in your own way.

3 key points you need to hear in this episode:

• The surprising real reason you keep procrastinating

• How your desire for a sense of achievement is getting in your way

• 5 tips to get you the momentum you need

This episode is packed with insight and practical tips that might be tough to hear.
But it’s out of love and if it’s for you, you’ll know it.

Stacy Tuschl is a speaker, business coach, and the owner of The Academy of Performing Arts in Wisconsin. She is the author of the book “Is Your Business Worth Saving?” where she reveals proven strategies for pulling entrepreneurs out of a rut and launching them toward business success.

Today we’re going to be talking about the importance of accountability and having key people in your life that can help you do that.

Some highlights include:

When you commit to something while having other people hold you accountable, you’re going to get more done than ever before. (minute 1:00)

When you find somebody that’s like-minded and on the same mission to take their business and life to that next level, it can do some incredible things for your business. (minute 3:00)

For the last 11 years, I’ve always had a coach. I’ve made a commitment to myself that I was going to find someone who was doing what I wanted to do that could help me get there faster. When I decided to start an online business, I went to a small workshop to learn from someone who was killing it in the online space. Following someone who knows what they’re doing is better than starting it alone. (minute 4:00)

Find an accountability partner who you check in with every single week. Share your wins with them, your learning lessons (don’t call them losses), what you’re working on, and your goals for next week. The best advice I can give you is to find a go-getter. Find someone you admire and you know is always doing big stuff, somebody who you think “can I keep up with them?” (minute 5:00)

Join a mastermind group — a group of people who have a common objective in mind and they work together to achieve it. I’ve been involved in many mastermind groups throughout the years and I 100% believe that you need to get involved. (minute 6:00)

I know you love your business. Of course you do!

But you can love it and need a break from it.

In fact, you should take breaks.

What good is abundant wealth if you don’t have time to enjoy it?

What good is time off if you’re struggling financially?

Scaling is how you experience both time and financial freedom.

It’s entirely possible and it doesn’t need to be complicated.

Michael Port has written six books, including “Book Yourself Solid” and “Steal the Show,” the latter which, according to the former President of Starbucks, might be the most unique and practical book ever written on the topic of public speaking. He's been called an “uncommonly honest author” by the Boston Globe, a “marketing guru” by The Wall Street Journal, a sales guru by the Financial Times, a public speaking phenom by Jonathan Fields and the best public speaking coach in the world by Lewis Howes. The founder of MastermindTalks, Jayson Gaignard, declared, "Michael Port is the best speaker I've ever seen."

His books have been on the bestseller lists of the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Publisher's Weekly and have been selected by Amazon and 800-CEO-READ as "best books of the year." He was once a professional actor, having received his MFA from NYU's Graduate Acting Program, guest starring on shows like Sex & The City and Law & Order, and in films like The Pelican Brief and Down to Earth. These days, Michael can be seen on MSNBC, CNBC, and PBS as an on-air expert in communication and business development and as the host of the most popular podcast on public speaking and performance, Steal the Show with Michael Port.

In this episode, Michael and Stacy discuss the trials and tribulations of running a business.

Some highlights include:

“Winners quit all the time.” At minute 3:00, Michael talks about why it doesn’t mean you’re a failure if you quit. Sometimes it pays to just move onto a better idea.

What’s more important, approval or results? Michael dives deep into the search for approval and discusses why constantly seeking approval can lead to burning out. (minute 14:00)

“How much you make really doesn’t matter.” Michael shares at minute 18:00 why revenue isn’t the financial number that you need to pay attention to; it is profit.

Things change. The kinds of advertising Michael uses now simply didn’t exist when he first started his business, and you have to be willing to utilize the most effective strategies available now. (minute 25:00)

“When there’s a lot of friction, things slow up.” At minute 37:00, Michael talks about how to become better at leading your team.

In this episode of the Well-Oiled Operations™ podcast, Stacy is joined by Jennifer Spivak from The Ad Girls Agency to explore the complexities and opportunities of running successful Facebook ads and Instagram ad campaigns. Together, they debunk the common misconception many small business owners have—that social media advertising is too costly or ineffective. When used correctly, these ads can target a precise audience, offer cost-effective budgeting, and deliver measurable, positive returns on investment. Jennifer shares her expert insights on when it’s the right time for businesses to start running ads and emphasizes the importance of having a tested product or offer before investing in paid traffic. 

Also in this episode: 

• Key metrics beyond basic click-through rates, such as return on ad spend (ROAS), and highlights the importance of engaging creative content in driving successful ad campaigns.

• Have marketing funds you’re prepared to lose without sacrificing essentials; see it as an investment in testing and learning.

• Focus on creating unique and compelling ad copy and visuals to keep ad costs down by ensuring high engagement rates.

You’ve got an offer.

A well-priced offer if I may.

But how do you make sure that the ones who need it see the ACTUAL value and grab it like yesterday?

How do you make sure that it doesn’t get buried in the sea of offers that are already being made?

How do you make sure that it stays mega-relevant to your ideal clients?

Day 3 of the “5 Days to Your Irresistible Offer Challenge” is all about solidifying your offer in a way that it becomes virtually impossible to ignore.

Your primary goal is to get people to recognize the true value of your offer (face value + underlying value) and then to associate it with your business ethics.

You want your prospects or target clientele to know that they can count on you when it comes to solving their problem, that you understand how one thing is affecting their whole life and that there’s a better way to do things.

THIS will be the foundation upon which you build the rest of your relationship.

DAY THREE ASSIGNMENT:

1. Understand the ONE BIG BOLD outcome of your offer; the ultimate result you are providing.
2. Now, note down the associated benefits (you may not realize it, but your solution is creating a ripple effect in their life. Think about all the ways it can help them).
3. Your offer may feel redundant, but there’s always a way to spice things up. Think about how you can infuse a new life into your offer by adding a cherry on top! (YES! We’re talking about supplementary bonuses, specials and valuable extras).

ACTION STEPS: 

1. Answer the questions above.
2. Share your answers in She’s Building Her Empire Communitywith the hashtag #Day3 #IrresistibleOfferChallenge
3. Tune in at Noon CST to watch the LIVE class on solidifying your offer over on my business page.

Listen up, your offer is more than just a way to make money in your business.

It’s a promise, a promise for a better future.

Make it worth their while.

Welcome back to another episode of Foot Traffic! If you know me, you know I am a productivity nerd and a systems girl. I'm really excited to be interviewing Tonya Dalton today who is the founder of inkWELLPress Productivity Company and the author of her book, The Joy of Missing Out. Today we're talking about that concept both personally and in our business. When should we say yes and how we often throw things on our calendars that we shouldn't. There are so many things out there and we have to decide when to say yes and when to say no. Let's dive in!

"I believe the book is more than a book. It's the start of a movement..." At minute 2:33, hear what made Tonya write her book, The Joy of Missing Out and how it came to be. Plus, we're talking about how we hide behind the word 'busy'.

"It's really easy for 'yes' to slip out of our mouths.." At 7:18, we dive into a concept I learned from Tonya about the number of Friday's you have left  and how that has changed her and her family. I ask her how she finds balance, what questions to ask and the boundaries we should put in place to assess if it's something we should move froward with.

"We chase this illusion of balance and it truly does not exist..." At minute 18:16, we're talking about putting quantity over quality. Are you doing things with intention? Hear what routines, both personal and business, have been a game changer for Tonya.

"We believe that periods of rest are a reward for great work but it's actually a requirement..." At 28:27, a reminder of why taking time to rest and recharge is so important and why we are worn out and exhausted. Plus, hear what tools Tonya uses to keep all of her systems organized.

If you want to connect more with Tonya you can head to joyofmissingout.com to find more resources and discussion guides. You can also visit her website here to check out her podcast, Productivity Paradox, watch her Tonya TV episodes, blogs and resources to help you feel more productive!

Hello Empire Builders! It's time for another Flash Friday and I want to make sure you are taking control of your business. It’s up to YOU to make it happen, in your business and your life. No one wants your dream as much as you do. It’s time to take ownership of your dreams and make it happen in your business.

Have you ever wondered how to actually get a vision board to "work"? Maybe you're new to vision boards and have no idea why you'd want to spend time making one.

I completely get it.

In today's episode I'm sharing my experience with my vision board and how you can get one to work for you, even if you're not crafty (like me) or into woo-woo manifestation.

3 key points in this episode:

1. Why it's important to have a vision board.

2. The reason I had my whole team create vision boards.

3. How to create a vision board that actually works for bringing your vision into reality.

Making a vision board is a great way to start the new year or anytime you feel you need to reset and find new motivation. If you have one or create one, I'd love to have you tag me on social so I can support you in making it a reality.

About Stacy Tuschl And Well Oiled Operations:

I’m a best selling author and speaker, the owner of multiple 7-figure businesses and the creator of the Foot Traffic Formula™, where I help small business owners get more customers in their door, more profit in their pockets, and more happiness in their homes.

My in-depth process guides my students to break through their challenges, operate at their highest potential and create self-sustaining businesses—all without sacrificing their families or lifestyles. You shouldn’t be sacrificing your life for your business; your business should be supporting your life.

I know what it’s like to toss and turn at night over an expense, to wonder if you’ll ever make your dreams come true, and to look in the mirror and ask, “Is this business even worth it?”

And while I don’t know you personally, I can tell you the answer is “yes.” You had a vision of starting your own business and you had the courage to actually do it. But starting and running a business are two different things. Now that you’re up and running, I’m going to help you turn your local business into your dream business.

More calm and less chaos. More revenue and less stress.

In this episode, Stacy Tuschl emphasizes the importance of changing and growing as a business owner. She shares the story of a client who quickly transitioned from being an operator to an owner, highlighting the need for effective management and leadership skills. Stacy also discusses the concept of innovation and the importance of not holding oneself back due to fear of copying others. She encourages listeners to ride the wave of hot strategies and take action quickly. Throughout the episode, Stacy provides numerous ideas and strategies for business growth and improvement.

Also in this episode:

• Transitioning from an operator to an owner requires effective management and leadership skills.
• Innovation involves not holding oneself back due to fear of copying others.
• Riding the wave of hot strategies and taking action quickly can lead to greater success.

I have a special guest for you today! I'm chatting with Allie Casazza who has changed the way that we have looked at minimalism and getting rid of things in our home and figuring out how to keep only the things we truly love, not only in our home but in business too!

"It's a lifestyle thing, it's not a one and done..." At 23:52, Allie is telling us some common mistakes she sees when people try to declutter and why it doesn't last.

Welcome back! Today I am talking with one of our amazing Powerhouse clients, Nicki Krawczyk. Nicki is a copywriting expert who has worked with companies such as Marshalls, Keurig, AT&T, the list goes on and on. After 20 years in the copywriting business, Nicki decided that she wanted to start a course to teach people how to become successful copywriters. She is celebrating 10 years in her business this year. She has been an incredible asset to my company as well which is actually how we met, Nicki used to write copy for my business and soon became one of our most successful clients.

For the first few years in business, Nicki tried everything to make it work. She will tell you that it was not an easy start.

In this episode of the Well-Oiled Operations™ podcast, Stacy delves into the concept of business autonomy, offering her insights on streamlining operations to be smoother and less dependent on any one individual, including the business owner. She addresses the common challenge that many business owners and upper management encounter: inadvertently fostering reliance on personnel rather than on efficient processes.

Also in this episode:

• Success in business is contingent on creating robust systems rather than over-relying on individuals.

• Business owners must avoid transferring their own reliance issues to other team managers or members.

• A self-run business is achieved by equipping employees to handle issues independently, without escalating them.

• Creating lasting change in business operations can be swift, especially when owners model the change they want to see.

Welcome back to episode #313! I admit it! I am a total nerd. Are you one too?! It's funny how when we are younger we would never want the label of nerd, but now so many of us claim it with pride! Whether it be attending a conference, completing an online course, or even a listening to podcast...we are all in! We want to learn as much as possible!

But what if that isn't enough? What if there is more to just learning? What if just learning can actually be more crippling than empowering? I know we are all familiar with the quote "Knowledge is power," but it's more than knowledge that we need...You have to actually do something with the knowledge you are taking in or it cannot be powerful in your life and business...Which is why today in today's episode I am bringing in my good friend April Perry! April is going to cover two simple concepts with us that will help us solve the information overload problem and bring freedom and power to our life and business!

At minute 18:34, April shares what she does every week to make sure everything is getting done and how to prioritize everything on our to-do list. Plus we talk about why it's important to acknowledge what you've learned and took away from conferences and events.

“I don’t follow just anyone, I only follow people I trust and respect...” At minute 14:57, hear how Tyler is personally trying to connect with the people he wants to and how he builds those relationships. Tyler gives a few tips on how you can easily and genuinely get connected with people through social media.

“People want to hear from other people…” At 20:40 Tyler tells us when he started creating content if it came naturally and was easy or if he often forgot about it! Hear his strategy for posting, his thoughts on the Instagram feed and a few tips for creating a good Instagram story. Tyler answered if there is a rule for putting branded and curated stories versus real time and personal?

“It’s a poor use of your time...” At minute 28:53 Tyler tell us common mistakes he sees that become his pet peeves plus should if we should be using IGTV or not!

You need a crystal clear vision and plan for what your goal is and where you are headed.

Michelle runs an online weight loss coaching company where she helps people figure out the mental battles preventing them from losing physical pounds. Michelle’s story into fitness in different from most. She didn’t have a ton of weight to lose, she wasn’t an athlete in college, nor did she have a health scare. She decided to start running marathons in order to get out of an abusive situation. Running changed her, and now she wants to help others do the same. She has multiple degrees in exercise sport science and psychology and became a trainer in Los Angeles to celebrities, CEO’s and general Jo. She discovered after years in the industry and through her own battle that losing weight was a mental game more so than a physical game.

In this episode, Michelle and Stacy discuss turning a daily habit into a business and the ways to connect with the audience that grows from that business.

Some highlights include:

“I wasn’t actually trying to start an online business.” At minute 2:00, Michelle talks about how her business was born out of the success of her Instagram account.

At minute 7:00, Michelle talks about the Strengths Finder 2.0 Test, what it told her, and why you should try it out.

Talk about your life. At minute 14:00, Michelle shares the story of how she first started sharing personal information and how it completely changed her connection with her audience.

“I hit a mental and physical wall.” At minute 19:00, Michelle talks about a situation that she went through that led to her leaving work to take an 8 hour nap, and what she learned about giving herself enough down time to live a happy, healthy life.

It takes time to nurture a personal assistant. At minute :00, Michelle talks about her year-long working relationship with her personal assistant, and how the assistant has become an integral part of her business.

Kathryn Moorhouse developed her passion for marketing through following her business degree with a post grad in marketing. Later, while working as an au pair in South Africa, she had an idea to start a company, manufacturing baby clothing.

While developing her business, she found Lilah Higgins on Facebook. Kathryn realized that she needed to connect with others who had more experience and know-how than she did, in order to grow her business quickly and successfully, so she got really involved with Lilah's Facebook group and soon became the group's administrator.

She took over running the Facebook group when Lilah went on holiday and later became her VA, running all her social media groups.This is how Kathryn discovered that Pinterest really grabbed her attention and also how Stacy became one of her clients.

On today's Online Coaching Call, Stacy coaches Kathryn and shares her insight and experience with her. Join Stacy today and benefit from watching her help Kathryn create a more profitable and effective online business.

“So at the moment we don't have kids, so my goal is to really use this time to build it up to the point that I have free time later on.” From minute 7.06, Kathryn discusses her business intentions for the future.

“You have to set time aside, otherwise you don't get it done.” At minute 11.44, Kathryn talks about setting time aside for each aspect of business, in order to get it all done.

“A couple of things I do with my coaching clients- we create this journey.” At minute 13.24,  Stacy encourages Kathryn with suggestions to bring more people to her Pinterest courses.

“So the whole strategy behind a tripwire is...” At minute 15.35, Stacy explains the benefit of the Tripwire Strategy to Kathryn.

“You could absolutely hire a VA under you. You're still looking at it, making sure it looks good and it's up to your standards, but once your VA works with you long enough and knows you, they're gonna be as good as you.” At minute 19.33, Stacy encourages Kathryn to train a potential VA in the way that she prefers to work.

“So I really like this 'Do it with you- Do it for you- Do it by you' (strategy), because that filters it into a very easy to follow...” At minute 21.41, Kathryn explains why she loves the strategy that Stacy suggested.

In today’s episode, I’m going to talk to you about the alternative of finding a freelancer to work on your projects. Maybe you haven’t ever given any thought to using a freelancer, or maybe you’re already doing it. Either way, I’ve got lots of great information to share with you.

Many businesses are now turning to freelancers because of the convenience and financial advantages that flexible workers like this offer. Personally, I have had great success working with a variety of freelancers by outsourcing work to them that I am just too busy to complete myself. Because of this, I’m able to focus my time on what I am really good at and let someone else deal with other important areas of the business that I am not as skilled in, or that I quite frankly don’t have time for. If you are an entrepreneur, you know as well as I do that when you run your own business and have a family life, time is valuable and you need to identify priorities.

Today I’m going to tell you what to look for in a freelancer, where to look, what the advantages are, and how to develop an ongoing relationship with the right freelancers. You’ll learn all about doing business with freelancers, and I’ll give you some practical advice to help make sure you succeed. I hope that by the end of the podcast you will be well educated on the subject and will feel confident about exploring the option of hiring a freelancer for yourself.

Some highlights include:

Why should you use freelancers? In today’s market, you may need someone to help you share your message. You’ll need people to help you in the areas of business you aren’t an expert in, and it quickly becomes very expensive to employ a full-time staff to fill every position you need to fill, particularly if your business is small. (minute 2:00)

How do you find the right freelancer? Freelancers can be found easiest online, and I recommend a resource called Upwork. Freelance platforms like Upwork help to protect you from bad experiences by creating transparency through client feedback. I’ve used Upwork for several projects and it has helped me connect with some excellent people who I still work with to this day. (minute 3:00)

When you are hiring a freelancer, make sure you also take the time to consider what time zone they are working in. If they are outside of your region, they may be in a completely different time zone and communication could be a major challenge. (minute 6:00)

Any wise freelancer will price their rates competitively because they know that there are plenty of other people out there trying to land contracts as well. This is great for you because unless the job you are hiring for is incredibly specialized, it means you’ll be able to work with someone who isn’t overcharging you for their services. (minute 11:00)

Don’t try and nickel and dime people so that you’re paying less than minimum wage. Word will get out that you are a stingy client, and there will be less incentive for freelancers to give you their best. Remember, you are still paying less for the work than you would be if you have to bring someone in on salary. (minute 12:00)

About Stacy Tuschl And Well Oiled Operations:

I’m a best selling author and speaker, the owner of multiple 7-figure businesses and the creator of the Well-Oiled Operations™, where I help small business owners get more customers in their door, more profit in their pockets, and more happiness in their homes.

My in-depth process guides my students to break through their challenges, operate at their highest potential and create self-sustaining businesses—all without sacrificing their families or lifestyles. You shouldn’t be sacrificing your life for your business; your business should be supporting your life.

I know what it’s like to toss and turn at night over an expense, to wonder if you’ll ever make your dreams come true, and to look in the mirror and ask, “Is this business even worth it?”

And while I don’t know you personally, I can tell you the answer is “yes.” You had a vision of starting your own business and you had the courage to actually do it. But starting and running a business are two different things. Now that you’re up and running, I’m going to help you turn your local business into your dream business.

More calm and less chaos. More revenue and less stress.
