How to Create an Org Chart Even if You're Still Hiring

You need to have an organization chart for your small business (even if you're still hiring). When everyone reports to you there is no way to keep the expectations and communication clear. You end up micromanaging and somehow it still seems like things aren't getting done to your standards or your team is confused. Imagine having a maximum of two people reporting back to you with a summary of the status of different projects. You still know about any challenges and the things are getting done. It just doesn't come from 6 different people. 3 key insights in this episode: 1. You can have one person wearing multiple hats but you do not want multiple people sharing a position as a leader. 2. Having an effective org chart is a system including 4 phases that allow you to evaluate the right people in the right spots and plan your next steps. We'll dive into how to get started. 3. Once you have your first or revised version of your org chart, you need everyone on the same page. We'll talk in this episode about the final steps of the org chart creation system. A strategically planned organization chart changes the whole business game when it comes to leveling up in accountability and efficiency.

Entrepreneur Burnout Rollercoaster

Welcome back to the Foot Traffic podcast! Today we're talking all about entrepreneur burnout. First let me say, I've been a business owner for nearly 20 years. So of course I've experienced seasons of burnout. Does this mean it's okay? No. It does mean the conversation around it needs to be normalized. So that's exactly what I'm talking about here. 3 important takeaways about entrepreneur burnout: 1. To know what to do about it, first you have to know exactly what it is. I'm talking symptoms and how to know if you're experiencing entrepreneur burnout. 2. Once you identify that you're struggling, let's identify your next steps. Hint: it has very little to do with taking any actual action. 3. Most importantly you need to understand the catastrophic consequences of staying in burnout for too long. Entrepreneur burnout is so much more than feeling tired. If this episode hits home for you, I encourage you to evaluate your situation and get help immediately. I'm offering some practical suggestions for you here too on what you can do to turn things around. Did you love today's episode? 1. Take a screenshot and share it to your IG stories.

Was Tony Robbins' Business Mastery Worth the Hype

This episode is my honest review of Tony Robbins' business mastery. It's been on my bucket list for a long time but I wasn't previously able to justify attending because it meant taking seven days away from my family. So when I had the chance to attend virtually, I jumped at it. In this episode, I'm giving my candid feedback about whether or not this event was worth the investment by laying out all the pros and cons of the experience. 3 key takeaways to listen for in this episode: 1. Was it worth it? I'm sharing the action steps I always take when I attend an event like business mastery to make sure I maintain momentum and make back my investment. 2. The good, the bad, the ugly. There were some speakers that were really valuable, some repetition of basic things I needed reminders of, and one thing in particular that I really didn't like. 3. The major benefit of events versus free resources. I'm a huge fan of events versus podcasts and books for the exact reasons I'm sharing here. If you have the chance to attend Business Mastery, of course, you'll have to decide for yourself if it will be worth it for you. Hopefully the pros and cons listed here will help you make an informed choice. Did you love today's episode? 1. Take a screenshot and share it to your IG stories. Tag me @stacytuschl! 2.

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.

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.

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.

My Biggest Weakness (sharing it all!)

Vulnerable share alert here. You might be surprised to find out that my biggest weakness is also one of my greatest strengths. If you've been around awhile, you know I'm a very driven person. I've received numerous awards for reaching milestones some people only dream of. So how is this a weakness? I'm sharing it all with you here in this episode. I'll go into more detail. But, turns out, that being driven also means I'm often left feeling unfulfilled or unsatisfied by my own success. Three key points in this episode: 1. The words a friend shared with me as I reflected on my successes and the goals I've set for myself and narrowly missed. How we show up for ourselves in our thoughts matters and my friend's insight helped shift my perspective. 2. Why I feel it's important to share this insight and reflection with you. I know I can't be the only one who is always striving for more. 3. Some words of encouragement to help you (and me) appreciate and acknowledge the success we experience. Whether you celebrate your milestones or like me you find it difficult to feel accomplished, I hope this episode inspires you to truly feel more appreciation for all of your wins.

Weathering Uncertainty with Melissa Houston

I was thankful to recently have an article published on Forbes by today's podcast guest, Melissa Houston, life coach, founder of The Business Society, and CPA. If you've ever wondered what the benefit is of hiring a CPA or a fractional CFO, Melissa is pulling back the curtain in this conversation on who you need, what to look for, and why having someone manage the finances of your business is critical to your success. Three important key points to listen for in this episode: The unconventional place Melissa starts with her clients before building a financial plan. Who you need to hire and the differences between a bookkeeper, CPA, and fractional CFO. And the critical importance of not going with the cheapest option. Number one tip for challenging and unpredictable economic times. How much do you need in reserves? How can you thrive during times of inflation? We cover it all. More than anything, my wish is that this conversation brings you hope that no matter what financial situation you find yourself in, there's no reason to feel shame or guilt around it. We can't be awesome at everything! That's why it's so great to have people like Melissa to guide us along the way.

3 Ways to Continuously Become a Next Level CEO

The CEO life can be exhausting because we are required to continuously be growing and changing. But with the right mindset, outlook, and resources becoming the next level version of the CEO you want to be, transforms from a challenge into an opportunity. In today's episode, I'm sharing how you can seize that opportunity with 3 ways to continuously become a next level CEO. The key points to listen for: Time away is essential. I recorded this while our family was on vacation in Florida. Everyone needs the opportunity to be able to step away from daily responsibilities to get a clearer picture of what your priorities are when you return. Tips and tricks to use and questions to ask yourself while you have time to yourself to really maximize your role as the CEO. The huge part that jealousy and faith play in the process of creating a vision of who you need to be and what you need to do to make it happen. These three key points are important. But also make sure to listen in for one of the most crucial elements to a true commitment to continuous growth. You really need this one thing to see a big difference.

Getting Your Team More Accountable

Getting your team more accountable is one of the most commonly requested topics I get asked to talk about. In this episode, I'm using the analogy of team members with a "renter" mentality versus those who feel a sense of ownership in your business. How do we maximize who you have and get them to ownership status? Three key points to listen for: Before you can do anything else, you need to be clear on what it is you need them to take accountability for. You may even need to work on your mindset first to get to a point where you want to delegate more responsibility. Rather than tasks, you need to create the opportunity for clear accountability with systems. I dive into more detail of what that looks like and where to start. The three resources you must have in place in order for your delegation of accountability to truly be successful. Lastly, you won't want to miss the final key point I make about what will make the most difference in building a team of accountable owners rather than renters. And the good news is, this one is entirely within your control. Did you love today's episode? 1. Take a screenshot and share it to your IG stories. Tag me @stacytuschl 2.

We had a great conversation in today's episode on recognizing the season of life that you're in and making the most of it.

Three key takeaways from this episode to listen for: Why it's important to discern if you're after a reputation of character v. being on a quest for currency and the 3 "I's" to consider when setting your financial goals. The reasons why people hesitate to dig in and take control of their money situation. (Spoiler alert: many people think what they're doing is normal and it doesn't have to be.) When to have the money conversation with kids and a revolutionary tip from John Maxwell for shaping the way your kids understand the value of money.

How to Recession Proof Your Own Income

In today's episode, though I'm not a financial expert, I'm sharing my own insight into how to recession-proof your own income as the CEO of your small business, and why you need to make it a priority sooner rather than later. I've seen so many business owners over the years, investing in our programs, and fully committed to their success and growth, and struggling to pay themselves a decent income. I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't pay myself as the owner of my dance studios for the first five years. Do not make this mistake. As the owner and CEO, you both need and deserve to experience financial security. Three key points I want you to take away from this episode: Simply start somewhere – commit to a designated amount that will be your salary. Do not let it be dependent upon the weekly or monthly business revenue. Make that amount non-negotiable. You can always change it in the future. Educate yourself on the options – The book Profit First was a game-changer for me. I highly recommend reading this and getting familiar with the ways in which this method will benefit your business and you as the CEO. Why this matters – your business and your family deserve financial security. It may not come naturally to prioritize your own income but it's really important. Your CPA or financial advisor can help you determine what works best for you. This content was featured in a recent Forbes article that you can find HERE. As I mentioned, this is not my area of expertise, but I've seen so many business owners struggling with this, I felt it's important to share what I know and recommend.

Never Lose A Customer Again with Joey Coleman

Today I'm joined by author, Joey Coleman. His book, Never Lose a Customer Again is such a powerful read. So powerful, in fact, that I passed it to those on my team responsible for fulfillment so we could put these strategies into place. In this conversation, Joey and I discuss the power of retention and really elevating the customer experience and the influence that has on building a successful and sustainable business. There were so many a-ha moments during this discussion. You'll definitely want to listen for these three key takeaways: 1. The number one reason customers don't become repeat buyers. You'll want to really let this one sink in because it will change the way you approach marketing and sales. 2. How sales and customer fulfillment is like dating. Joey encourages you to celebrate their purchase instead of just your sale! 3. Why repeat or long-term customers bring in more referrals. Think about it. You don't often rave about something you purchase right after you buy! Joey Coleman certainly knows his stuff when it comes to customer retention and why it's so important, critical even, for small business growth.

$500k from a podcast?! Yes. You read that right. Today's we're talking about one of my favorite things ... podcasting! My Powerhouse Plus client, Daniela, has grossed over half a million dollars in revenue from her podcast!

We also discuss why podcasting is one of the best marketing strategies for any type of business owner. 3 key points to look forward to: We will be covering exactly how podcasting helped Daniela's bottom line. This includes talking increased sales and decreased refunds, and how podcasting allowed her to connect authentically with her ideal consumer. We explore the benefits of podcasting for brick and mortar businesses, and how including your own advertisements and announcing special promotions or partnerships brings in new and repeat business. Finally, we share the systems that keep podcast producing running smoothly. There is a lot administratively that goes into publishing a podcast and Daniela has perfected how to keep everything organized. Why you should listen: Daniela is a self-proclaimed accidental entrepreneur who coaches spa owners. As a mom of two little ones with an active duty military husband, taking her business online has allowed her to stay in her industry and help others run successful spas. There is so much in this conversation you can take away and apply to your own business and situation.
