In this episode of The Above The Business Podcast, Bradley builds on last week’s discussion about defining Point A—where your business stands today—by shifting focus to Point B: where you want to go. He shares a structured approach to crafting a compelling business roadmap, emphasizing the importance of vision and goal setting.Bradley introduces the concept of the Business Blueprint, which consists of three key components:Three-Year Vision – A vivid and aspirational picture of where you want your business to be in three years.One-Year Objectives – The major milestones and goals to achieve within the next year to move toward that vision.90-Day Priorities – Short-term, high-impact actions that create momentum and prevent stagnation.Too often, business owners get stuck in a cycle of repeating the same goals year after year, creating a Groundhog Day effect. By implementing the Three-One-Ninety framework, leaders can break that cycle, push beyond their initial limitations, and build a thriving, forward-moving business.Next Steps:In the next episode, Bradley will dive into the importance of creating a detailed action plan—how to move from Point A to Point B by identifying obstacles and executing effectively.Join the Web Class:Want to learn more about building a business that runs without you?
