Episode 456: Lead Yourself First - M.I.T. You

In this week's episode of The Above The Business Podcast, Bradley Hamner kicks off a powerful new three-part series designed to help you refocus on what matters most in building a business that doesn’t depend solely on you. After covering your business roadmap and operating system in recent episodes, Bradley now turns his attention to you, the entrepreneur.

The core message?

The most important thing you can do for yourself is to protect your confidence.

Drawing on personal experience and proven processes, Bradley shares a practical framework to help you maintain clarity, avoid burnout, and show up strong for your business week after week. Because when you’re tired, stressed, or overwhelmed, you’re not at your best—and your business feels it.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

The recap of the two core business problems previously addressed:

• Lack of clarity (Point A → Point B → Plan).
• Lack of systems and processes (Blueprint OS).
• Why exhaustion, stress, and overwhelm are more common than you think—and what to do about it.
• The bold claim: Your confidence is your most important asset.

How to protect that confidence with three simple but powerful rhythms:

• Weekly planning (especially on Sunday evenings).
• Quarterly reviews that highlight your wins.
• Annual reflections that bring your year into perspective.
• How weekly wins—even during hard weeks—can fuel your momentum and mindset.
• The importance of community: why surrounding yourself with like-minded entrepreneurs helps you see you’re not alone.
