I'm Tom Real. I'm promoting successful business experts connecting people
throughout the world from my podcast studio in Brazil. Joining
us today from Washington, d C. Stephanie Warlick, author of
Squirrels Bowling on the Roof, fractional EOS integrator supporting small
business owners providing operational leadership to implement vision and ensure
(00:27):
successful execution. So, Stephanie, how does Squirrels Bowling on the
Roof help you understand the visions of small business owners? Hi?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Tom, great question.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I think right out of the gates, a small business
owner is a visionary. A visionary has an idea, and
it's an idea of I can do something better, faster, stronger,
or I see a need out in the workplace that
needs to be solved, and that is the crux of
small Squirrels Bowler on the Roof.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
While I serve small business owners personally.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
What happened to me was that I saw a need
in the world to write a book for helping small
children understand how they can overcome their fears using their
mindset to solve a problem, to not be fearful, and
that is mindset is the number one skill that a
(01:27):
small business owner needs to be successful. We hit challenges
in small business every single day, and those those we
need to think differently. We need to think out of
the box. We need to think how can we how
can we take what's already been done and make give
it a twist so that we can be better, faster, smarter,
less expensive, more efficient, more sustainable, whatever the keywords are
(01:51):
that our small business needs. I call that the stand
in the gap method, where I look for a solution
or excuse me, I see a problem and I look
for a solution that needs to be solved, and that
is what all of.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Our visionaries are.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
As an US integrator, I help small business owners every
day bring their vision to life by by clear execution,
clear accountabilities, clear understanding of a common.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Goal that needs to be reached.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
And by doing that, when everybody's marching in the same direction,
small businesses can meet their goals and objectives. It is, again,
as I said, all about mindset and changing your mind,
about overcoming fears and knowing that there.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Is a need.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
We are a world where there is a lot of competition,
but there is also a lot of green space for everyone.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Now to that point, the world we're talking about the world.
I see you do. You have a good focus on Europe.
You are globally oriented. And when we say business is
business to one point, yes, business can be I don't
say the same can be very similar in many places
in the world. And many of these challenges, the buzzwords
that you mentioned are also in any language similar. Yes,
(03:10):
and success can come from having whatever the vision is.
But the most difficult thing I have ever had as
a business person trying to explain my vision to anybody else. Right,
So what really struck me when I saw your book
Squirrels bowling on the if that is something I would
never even think about even seeing in my life.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
What we see things that we don't understand every day.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Right, And as a small business owner anywhere in the world,
you take that vision and the key is to make
it transferable so that under people and other individuals see
that vision and buy into that vision.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Want to support your vision and buy your vision.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
But to the point also of the book, small children
today are going to be the big business owners of tomorrow,
so hopefully the capture and maintain that vision as they grow.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
What a great what a great point. You're right, that
is right.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I had the idea twenty years ago, and it's still
a real applicable thought, and that is, we need to
change our mind in order to overcome our fears and
be more successful in the workplace, because fear is the
one thing that's holding entrepreneurs back.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Oh. I found that as we leave childhood, I think
life just sort of puts blinders on us and we're
put into boxes. And as we grow, then every says
get out of the box. Right, Yeah, we listen.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
To those We listen you're right, We listen to those fears,
we listen to those naysayers, we listen to the people that.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Are jealous, and we don't do what our mind.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Knows that we can execute because there's a need out
there in the world for those ideas and those those
problem solutions.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So to that point, the EO and then the f
actional that comes that you're I'm going to use a reference.
It's part time, it's not full time, right, so you're.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
An on demand, could be project based, could be hourly,
could be a certain number of hours per month, as
is as small business owners need.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You know, the economy is tough right.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Now, and small businesses do need to learn and grow
and scale, but they can't. They can't afford a three
hundred thousand dollars COO.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And that's that's a that's a low.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Going rate in the United States right now for an
experienced COO, so fractional, whether it's chief marketing office or
human resources offer our CEO allows small businesses to really
take in that knowledge and that expertise and scale at
their pace.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
That's really what we're looking for is the expertise, and
that's correct. We may not be looking for a six
hour long discourse. What we need is an answer to a.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Question that's correct, that is correct, don't give it away,
don't give away my next don't give away my next idea.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
No, I won't do. But there's demand out there, obviously,
and to the point of small business owners, we tend
to feel cornered and we're in the corner. Then the
fear comes in and then really we're trying to it's
not say strike, but we have to react and we're
really not sure and we need I call it a
(06:27):
quick fix, but we need some soothing words from somebody
that's great direction to a vision that I might have
that's correct.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
As small business owners very quickly as they grow and scale, outgrow.
The business has outgrown outpace not only their bandwidth the
owner of been with, but their.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Skills and knowledge.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
You know they are they are the creative, They're not
the executioner with those years of experience.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And that is the benefit of a of a fractional executive.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Now and back to the world and being global are
petition is coming from everywhere and well someday they will
know they're here. It's constant. So we need to have
a quicker reaction if that's the word.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, a responsive action that is scalable, that is varied.
I mean if you hire a fractional blah blah, all
the different C suite executives, just think about you can
behave a small business, can behave worldwide as if they
were a global organization. By just drawing in those hourly
experiences on an as needed basis, it's changing the world.
