In this episode of The Above The Business Podcast, Bradley Hamner wraps up his three-part series on creating a roadmap for your business. If you haven’t yet listened to the first two parts, be sure to check out the last two Friday episodes, where he covered Point A—understanding where your business is today—and Point B—establishing your business blueprint with a clear vision, objectives, and targets.
Today, Bradley dives into the final and most crucial piece of the roadmap: the plan. He explains how to craft a strategic, actionable plan that directly addresses the primary constraint holding your business back. Drawing insights from business leaders like Alex Hormozi, he emphasizes the importance of identifying the biggest bottleneck in your business and implementing a focused strategy to solve it.
Key Takeaways:
- Point A: Understand where your business stands today with a deep dive into your numbers, marketing data, and financials.
- Point B: Define where you’re headed with a structured business blueprint, including a three-year vision, one-year objectives, and 90-day targets.
- The Plan: Identify the constraint that is blocking progress and create a structured action plan to overcome it.
- Avoiding Shiny Object Syndrome: Many small businesses try to implement too many ideas at once without giving any a chance to work. Bradley explains why fewer, more focused initiatives yield greater long-term success.
- The Power of Commitment: Any strategy or initiative needs time to work—at least 90 days, often six months to a year. Businesses that jump from one idea to the next without giving strategies time to take hold never see the results they want.
- Scaling Beyond $1M: Once a business surpasses the million-dollar mark, it gains operational efficiencies that allow for more initiatives and faster growth.
- Making Your Plan Tangible: Bradley recommends physically printing your business plan to make it more concrete and professionalizing it for better execution.
If you’re ready to take control of your business’s growth and transition from operator to owner, this episode provides a clear framework to get there.
