Creating Confident Employees
You know I'm all about systems. But how do they relate to creating confident employees? That's exactly what I'm going to dive into in today's episode. This brilliant idea comes from a conference I attended recently. Even though I already implement so much system strategy, I chose to go to the systems breakout session because I always believe I can learn more and be even just a little bit better. The system I'm sharing here proves that point. 3 important points on creating confident employees: 1. Promoting confidence also means encouraging problem solving. The strategy I'm sharing here outlines how to do both. 2. Why significant company values is critical for the success of this strategy. 3. What you need to evaluate about your own role in order to encourage ownership and accountability. To receive a copy of potential values you can implement within your business, DM me (tag)StacyTuschl the word VALUES and I'll send it your way. Did you love today’s episode? 1.

How to Protect Your Time by Saying No
To really work efficiently and see the growth or even simply consistency you need to run a sustainable, profitable business, you absolutely need to set boundaries on your time and energy. So in today's episode, we’re talking about exactly How to Protect Your Time by Saying No (without sounding like a jerk). As a small business owner, you get a lot of different types of requests from a variety of sources and you’re a nice person so you say “yes” even when you need and want to say “no.” You think saying yes to everything will mean more business. You end up pulled in a million directions and feeling scattered. Your productivity suffers. Time that could be spent on your vision, goals, and revenue-generating activities goes down the drain because of other people’s requests. Imagine how things could change if you knew exactly what to say to requests that aren’t the best use of your time without hurting anyone’s feelings or burning any bridges. In this episode you'll learn how to: Say no graciously – you can say no and still communicate that you appreciate that they reached out/thought of you/sent an invitation. Blame it on your schedule – even if you realistically have “some space” the idea is you’re protecting your time and energy for the activities and tasks that light you up and actually need to get done. Refer them to your resources – granting requests is a great way to generate business and can be accomplished while still protecting your time. Refer them to your paid or free resources so they can keep in touch with you and familiarize themselves with your offers. It is possible to maintain boundaries on your time and energy while also keeping relationships and building new ones.

Overcoming Working Mom Guilt
This one's for the parents. Balancing work and family life is never easy but somehow we have this idea that we will feel less "mom guilt" as an entrepreneur because we have more control over our schedules. Then reality sets in, you're busier than you thought you would be, and you find yourself questioning if you're spending enough time with them. I travel a lot and I've had a lot of people asking if I experience mom guilt while I'm away. So I'm diving in today to the strategies I use, both practical and mindset, for finding that elusive work/life balance without the mom guilt. 3 tips for overcoming working mom guilt: 1. I like to use the perspective that time spent with our kids is more about quality than quantity. I'm very intentional about using the time that I spend with my family to be fully present. 2. I'm very confident in the experiences we're creating for our family and part of that means honoring my own interests, including traveling and learning. 3. Don't compare yourself to others. This is a big one! Figure out what works for you when it comes to finding balance and overcoming the guilt. Keeping that third point in mind, I hope this episode gives you some insight into how you can run your business successfully without sacrificing time and relationships with your kids. And be sure you listen to the end, because I have a special request. Did you love today’s episode? 1. Take a screenshot and share it to your IG stories. Tag me @stacytuschl! 2.

Your Micromanaging is Costing You $$$
Stop micromanaging. It's truly a significant waste of your time and money. And yet so many small business owners find it difficult not to micromanage. In today's episode, I'm sharing with you exactly how your micromanaging is costing you and more importantly what you can do about it. I want to also say, if you find yourself micromanaging, don't be too hard on yourself about it. We've all been there. Micromanaging is a sign that your work is important to you and it matters that things get done to a certain standard. That's a good thing. But you can channel that passion into productivity rather than micromanaging every little task. Here are three important points I'm making in this episode: 1. What you risk losing if you continue micromanaging. 2. The number one reason you're probably micromanaging and what you can do instead to get the same results. 3. The system that allows progress to be tracked and holds team members accountable without micromanaging. I hope this episode inspires you to realize that micromanaging starts with good intentions but it is costing you and helps you realize that there are steps you can put in place to create a system that works better for everyone.

So in today's episode, I'm sharing exactly what I do in my morning routine as a 7-figure entrepreneur of multiple businesses.

Three key elements of a successful morning routine: 1. A consistent wake-up time -- I'll share how I wake up early enough to take advantage of time before the kids are up but in a way that is gentle on our biological rhythms. Blaring alarm clock? No thank you. To get Stacy's wake up clock click here. 2. Hydration -- but first, water. I'll share why this is one of the first things I do and my thoughts on the bulletproof coffee trend. 3.
