Above The Business

Are you designing your business with intention, or just letting it happen? In this episode, Bradley explores why business owners should think like an architect—designing their businesses with purpose instead of relying on default growth.Drawing inspiration from YouTube creator Mark Rober and his "Think Like an Engineer" mindset, Bradley makes the case that business owners need a blueprint—a clear plan that includes a three-year vision, one-year objectives, and 90-day targets. He also discusses the constraints every business faces (time, money, team capacity) and how working smarter—not just harder—can help you grow sustainably.If you’ve ever felt overworked but directionless, this episode is for you.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:✅ Why business owners should think like architects, not just engineers. ✅ How to create a business blueprint for sustainable growth. ✅ The importance of balancing vision with real-world constraints. ✅ Why many business owners struggle to answer, “What’s your goal?”—and how to fix it. ✅ How to shift from being the rainmaker to becoming the architect of your business.

In this episode of the podcast, Bradley explores a concept borrowed from professional sports: a salary cap. While baseball teams like the New York Mets can spend vast sums, such as their $765 million contract with Juan Soto, many sports leagues like the NFL and NBA operate within strict salary caps. Bradley explains how businesses, much like these leagues, need to implement financial limits for labor expenses to maintain profitability and drive growth.Inspired by Greg Crabtree's book Simple Numbers, Bradley emphasizes the importance of defining a salary cap for your business, suggesting a benchmark of 50-58% of revenue for labor costs. He also provides a variation of the formula for businesses with cost of goods sold (COGS), emphasizing the need for accurate financial forecasting and planning.Using real-life examples from his experience with clients, Bradley highlights the value of allocating funds wisely across team roles, assessing ROI on labor, and striking a balance between profitability and investment in people. He shares a story of a business owner who intentionally increased their salary cap to foster growth by reallocating profits to hire additional team members.Bradley challenges listeners to calculate their own salary cap, track historical labor spend, and make data-driven decisions about team investments. By managing labor costs intentionally, you can ensure that your business remains both sustainable and positioned for future growth.This episode is a practical guide for business owners looking to gain clarity on their labor spend and unlock new growth opportunities by leveraging the concept of a salary cap.Thanks to our sponsors...BlueprintOS equips business owners to design and install an operating system that runs like clockwork.

In this episode, Bradley reflects on the parallels between personal and business habits, emphasizing the importance of reviewing and trimming unnecessary expenses. Just as overindulging during the holidays leads to tighter pants and sluggishness, unchecked business expenses can slowly erode profitability. Bradley suggests conducting a 15–30-minute expense audit once or twice a year to identify subscriptions, software, or other costs that no longer serve the business.Thanks to our sponsors...BlueprintOS equips business owners to design and install an operating system that runs like clockwork.
