Well-Oiled Operations with Stacy Tuschl

In this episode of the Well-Oiled Operations™ podcast, Stacy draws upon her 20 years of entrepreneurial experience to tackle the complex subject of business partnerships. With a focus on practical advice and personal experiences, Stacy discusses the intricacies of forming, maintaining, and even exiting business partnerships.  Stacy shares her journey with past business partnerships, revealing the lessons learned and the pitfalls to avoid. She discusses the challenges that come with having too many decision-makers and the importance of complementary skill sets in a partnership.    Also in this episode: Business partnerships can sometimes introduce complexity due to conflicting ideas and challenges in decision-making. It is often better to have a single decision-maker in a business rather than a 50/50 partnership. Complementary skill sets in a business partnership can sometimes help but be aware of the potential for damaging valued relationships. Bringing on employees or hiring consultants might be a more efficient and less permanent solution than entering into a partnership.   Work with Stacy Tuschl: Click HERE to Book A Call With Stacy Increase Your Profits While Getting Your Time Back: Join My Free Masterclass - Protect Your Profit Join Well Oiled Operations ™ Live: A 3-Day Virtual Conference Designed to Help You Build & Maximize Your Team to Increase Profit While Reducing Your Workload.   Subscribe To Well-Oiled Operations™ with Stacy Tuschl: Apple Podcast | YouTube | Spotify Connect With Stacy Tuschl: Website | Facebook | LinkedIn | Instagram   About Stacy Tuschl And Well-Oiled Operations™: As a best-selling author, speaker, and successful business owner, I empower small business owners to thrive.

Stacy takes listeners through a series of actionable steps designed to tackle this uncomfortable scenario head-on and respond strategically to the criticism, reshaping it from a business pitfall to an opportunity for growth and improvement. With her expert advice, any business owner can learn to handle negative feedback with grace and professionalism. Engaging in problem-solving rather than defensiveness forms the cornerstone of her approach, alongside a powerful reminder: the sheer volume of positive feedback far outweighs the occasional negative comment, painting a true picture of a business's impact.   Also  in this episode: Respond to negative reviews professionally and constructively, allowing time to calm any emotional reactions before replying. Encourage happy clients to share their experiences, especially on platforms where negative reviews have been posted, to balance out the occasional criticism.
