In this episode of the Well-Oiled Operations™ podcast, Stacy delves into the concept of business autonomy, offering her insights on streamlining operations to be smoother and less dependent on any one individual, including the business owner. She addresses the common challenge that many business owners and upper management encounter: inadvertently fostering reliance on personnel rather than on efficient processes.   Also in this episode: Success in business is contingent on creating robust systems rather than over-relying on individuals. Business owners must avoid transferring their own reliance issues to other team managers or members. A self-run business is achieved by equipping employees to handle issues independently, without escalating them. Creating lasting change in business operations can be swift, especially when owners model the change they want to see.   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.
