Well-Oiled OperationsReviews of welloiledoperations.com

My business partner & I joined Well Oiled after we'd been in business for almost ten years. We were still doing all the day to day on our own & had maxed out on our capacity to grow. Through Well Oiled, we've learned to implement systems and structure so that we can add team members in a strategic way so that we can grow. It's made us think about our company values and identity. Our coach, Matt Tatkow, has helped to keep us accountable and to recognize our individual strengths and weaknesses. With his guidance, we're creating a roadmap to future success.

I searched for a long time for a program, group or mentor to help me scale our family's small business. I finally found what I was looking for with Well-Oiled Operations. My coach Kevin has walked with me through several wins and losses during the 4 months we've worked together. At one point, I was on the edge of deciding to close the business. If you are reading this, and wondering how to make your business grow, WOO will help you to use data to drive your decisions. It will help you develop a plan to systematically scale by building your team and operating practices at your pace. I feel more hopeful and empowered with what I have learned in this program!

I joined Well-Oiled at a time when I was completely burned out and questioning whether I could keep running my business the way it was. An Instagram ad from Stacy hit me at the exact moment I needed it and gave me hope again. Even though we had cash flow issues, I felt God was asking me to transform my mindset, so I joined. Through the program, I realized I needed more responsibility, more accountability, and a healthier mindset about my leadership and my team. Attending Operator to Optimizer (in-person event) in Nashville and my coaching calls with Coach Kelly Clark were turning points for me. I committed 100% showing up even when I felt unprepared and juggling 60-70 hour weeks. That consistency changed everything. My sister stepped into her role in field operations, our systems improved, and I experienced my biggest win: taking a two-week honeymoon without my work phone and without a single work call. That freedom alone made the program worth it. By June, I realized I had to inspect what I expected, not just trust that my team had everything figured out after showing them once. Upgrading to the Powerhouse program and renewing for a full year pushed me to engage more in training calls, & the full breadth of the program. Listening to Stacy, her directors, and other WOO team members as well as members of the program, taught me so much about mindset and leadership. There were challenges. In July, when my sister (who had taken on field operations management) was out sick and we had equipment stolen, it tested everything. I realized how far we’d come as a team, but also how much we still needed better SOPs. Fullproof Planning (in-person event)was a game-changer. Networking with other members gave me the confidence to embrace new tools like AI, delegate more, and step fully into CEO-level thinking. The Powerhouse retreat (in-person event) really helped me to see that my leadership has come a long way, and that I deserve to be in the room with the Powerhouses. I left understanding how I needed to level-up as a person and leader to reach my goals. I am excited to grow together as a community in WOO. Ultimately, I used countless strategies from the program. Each lesson, each strategy, and each piece of accountability helped me grow not just as a business owner, but as a leader. I’m incredibly thankful for this journey and the opportunity to transform into a well-oiled operation. Word of advice: As with anything in life, you get what you put in. Use the program and its resources. There will be highs, lows, limiting beliefs, wins, moments of doubt, and renewal. If you stay consistent, you will be transformed. Start with renewing your mind, and the rest will follow. Be open to different metrics of success. When I got my time & quality of life back, everything else followed. Take the risk, you will not regret it.

Working with my coach Tony Ross, has given me structure and clarity I’ve needed for years. I now have a defined framework, systems in place, and measurable actions that are starting to create impact in my business. I'm only a few months in and I'm looking forward to even more progress.

WOO Completely Transformed My Business and My Role as a CEO Joining WOO was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself and my business. Before the program, I was stuck in the same exhausting cycle so many entrepreneurs know too well—overwhelmed, putting out fires, and buried in day-to-day tasks. My business was doing well, but I wasn’t. WOO gave me exactly what I was missing: structure, clarity, accountability, and a proven system to grow without chaos. I made a commitment to fully implement the process—not just pieces of it—and that changed everything. The tools, coaching, and support helped me step into a true CEO role and build a business that can scale without relying on me for every decision. This program isn’t “theory.” It’s real, it’s practical, and it works—if you work it. I’m more confident, more focused, and more in control of my business than I’ve ever been. If you’re an entrepreneur trying to grow and finally get out of the weeds, I can’t recommend WOO enough. It has been genuinely life-changing for me and for my company.

Well-Oiled was just what I needed, right when I needed it. I was already on the right track and had the right mindset, but I just needed help trying to hire the right operator and train my 2 operators correctly. Stacy has a tool or system for almost every aspect of being a CEO. I don't necessary need an "accountability" coach to make sure I do things, but if you need that, you get that as well. It was worth the money and I got my return on investment.

I came to WOO because I was doing everything myself and completely burning out. Working with my coach, Brittany, has changed me completely in the best way! She helped me build real systems in my business, ones that finally made it possible for me to hire an operator and stop carrying the whole load on my own. But really the biggest change for me was my mindset. That has always been my biggest block, and she knew exactly how to guide me through it. She didn’t just talk me through it, she gave me actual tools I now use every single day. I feel 100x more confident, more supported, and way more equipped to grow my business because of her guidance. Working with her has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself and my business.

I just want to thank my Coach Brittney Shimizu. Brittney’s knowledge, guidance and professionalism helped me get through this program. WOO was overwhelming for me, a one man shop, but Brittney’s guidance helped me focus on the subjects that I understood. I liked the reactivation campaigns.
