It's possible to create company values that actually mean something and that can assist you in delegating responsibility to your team.
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.”
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.

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.

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 most productive time is before everyone else is up for the day. I often get asked about my morning routine that sets me up for success. So in today's episode, I'm sharing exactly what I do in my morning routine as a 7-figure entrepreneur of multiple businesses.
This morning routine is all about getting in the right mindset to follow through with my intentions and take care of myself physically so I can be in peak performance mode as much as possible.
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. Mindset -- I'll share the journaling and writing I do to commit to the priorities for the day and the unconventional way I write my intentions.
Does your morning routine need a reboot? I hope you'll try some of these tips to boost your productivity. I'm not perfect with this morning routine, of course. But I definitely feel the impact when I don't stick with it so I can guarantee it works.

People are always asking how I move so quickly and how I get new offers to take off so fast. Today I'm going to break down what that looks like.
I pay to get things done quickly because the internet moves at lightning speed, marketing messages change, offers need to change. You've got to keep up or by the time you've implemented something that strategy is out of date.
In today's episode I'm sharing all the ways that I pay for speed and why I make it a priority to invest in my business.
Three key points to listen for:
1. Where I make the choices to be reserved with my budget and where I refuse to settle for the cheapest option.
2. One of the most important investments I make is in my own growth and learning. I'll share the resources I buy and why it's so important.
3. How investing in a team makes a huge difference in getting things done quickly if you know how to do it effectively.
I want this episode to shift your perspective away from being unable to afford outsourcing or investing in professional development. If you're not paying for the ability to grow faster, you're paying for it in lost revenue.

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.

1. The three most crucial areas in your business that need metrics.
2. How many items to track is reasonable.
