Episode 460: Lead Yourself First - M.I.T. The Business
In this episode of Above the Business, Bradley dives into what he believes is the single most important thing you can do for your business: get above it and think about it. He explores the idea that stepping back and creating space to reflect isn’t just a good idea—it’s essential to long-term success.
Bradley revisits the three core problems most small business owners face:
- Lack of clarity.
- Lack of systems and processes.
- Chronic stress, fatigue, and overwhelm.
He then unpacks solutions to each:
- A roadmap for clarity.
- An operating system for scale.
- A commitment to self-leadership for energy and confidence.
This episode builds on previous discussions about protecting your confidence and energizing your team. Bradley now zeroes in on your responsibility to think deeply about your business—away from the noise and distraction of the daily grind. Drawing from lessons in The Road Less Stupid by Keith Cunningham and Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell, he challenges you to embrace “thinking time” as the ultimate CEO leverage tool.
