Secret — timesaving technique

Do everything you can to prepare for tomorrow before you go to bed tonight!

Daily habit that contributes to success

Delegate — but — follow-up to check in on progress without micro-managing — by scheduling a series of specific, regularly occurring checkpoint meetings each week.

Could have ruined your business — but now —  an invaluable learning experience

Stacy tells her story of trying to keep her head above water at the time her business began to grow quickly — so she hired several people without having a plan or management team in place — all of which compounded in more problems.

Most critical skill you think business owners need to master to be successful

The preparation behind your performance.”

Most influential lesson learned a mentor

Things are never as hard as they look.”

Final Round — “Breaking Down the Recipe for Success”

 

What systems would you go back and put into place sooner?

Hire an assistant immediately”…someone who can do all of the $10 an hour jobs so you can focus on accomplishing your most vital priorities each day.

What one strategy or “recipe” would compound into big wins for business owners?

Set up and schedule a consistent rhythm of checkpoint meetings — and then train your team to wait until the meetings to provide feedback all at once so it can be dealt with all at once.

How to exceed expectations and add the most value?

Be a self-starter. But don’t ask questions — instead — raise questions. As a business owner, you should hire people who are smarter and more skilled than you for your various departments and then ask them to self-start projects.

What strategy would you recommend new business owners focus on to best ensure success?

  1. Say no a lot” and protect your schedule and only say “yes” to amazing opportunities.
  2. Find a coach or mentor right away to help bring the best out of you (and Stacy outlines an excellent recipe for how to find the right mentor).
