Every Team Member Matters with Tim Schurrer
Hi there, welcome back to Well-Oiled Operations! Today I am interviewing the former COO of Donald Miller's company StoryBrand, Tim Schurrer. Tim is someone who started with Donald at the very beginning helping to build StoryBrand from the bottom up. Now he is starting his own journey. He wrote his book "The Secret Society of Success" and is the host of the incredible podcast "Build a Winning Team". Tim is a wealth of knowledge and we hit it off so well, his energy is contagious and I can't wait for you to hear all of the gold he shares in this episode! Tim and I discuss his role as the right hand and what that looks like for such a massive company. He speaks on the importance of having an "operator", someone who is a doer to take the big ideas coming from the visionary and actually start implementing. He touches on how every role is crucial to the success of a business, NOT just the CEO. Tim spoke about how much he loved being behind the scenes, seeing all of the big ideas come to life and being the one to put them into action. He loved his role and wants to bring attention to those team members who make things happen but might not want to be the CEO! This is such an insightful episode, enjoy!

The Art of Letting Go: Strategies for Detaching from Your Business Metrics
Welcome back to the show! Today is a big one. This is something I have struggled with for quite some time and I am finally feeling like I am learning how to detach from my business metrics. It's taken me a long time to not let my numbers affect my mindset, and although there are going to be days that are harder than others, I think I have gotten a good grasp on separating myself from my results. Our numbers fluctuate, that's just the name of the game. Some weeks are great, some are good but not as good as the week before, and some weeks are just not what we hope for. It's actually all okay, and it's going to be okay no matter what! Celebrate your wins, don't let the pressure of hitting those goals again take away the success of it happening the first time. And then don't beat yourself up when it doesn't!! In business, nothing is consistent and you need to remind yourself that the dips don't define you! I am diving into how I have learned to separate my feelings from my numbers, take away the drama and see them for what they are: an opportunity to learn!! Enjoy! Did you love today’s episode? 1.

Firing with Confidence: How to Navigate Tough Conversations
Welcome back! Today we are talking about those hard conversations every business owner has to have at one point or another. These conversations typically lead to firing and I want to help you navigate those delicate situations so you can deliver the message clearly, compassionately, and come out on top.
