The Importance of Clarity in Business Planning

In this episode, Bradley kicks off a new three-part series on the core problems that small business owners face. Building upon the previous three episodes, where he discussed the roadmap to business success, he now shifts focus to the most significant obstacles that hinder growth.

The first core problem? Lack of clarity.

Bradley explains how business owners in the $300,000 to $3 million revenue range often have a general idea of where their business stands and where they want it to go. However, this understanding is typically not well-documented, shared with the team, or structured in a way that ensures consistent execution. He introduces the concept of a business roadmap—understanding Point A (where you are today), Point B (where you're going), and the plan to bridge the gap—as the solution to this clarity issue.
