Podcast Summary:

Nick Bradley shares on today’s podcast how to get into the right mindset, scale up your business and optimize for value growth. Nick shares his 6 Peaks of Value Creation with us and details how acting with intention and discipline leads to more freedom and success than you’ve seen before.

Purpose – Understanding where you want to go and knowing your options, and why this matters to you.

Profit – Have a safety net and flexibility to invest. Understand where profitability is going to come from.

Proposition – Value proposition, not just a product or service. Ultimately the culmination of a product (or service) ecosystem and the experience your client or customer has. 

Predictability – Predictable business. All top-performing businesses have a steady flow of the right customers coming in and driving recurring revenue.

Process – Where and how consistently you use technology, data, insight, and even your mission. The handoff between processes needs to be really clear.

People – Right people, right seats. Look after them, treat with respect, and have the correct compensation structure for performance. This is all about culture.

Whether you’re the financial or operations person, this podcast shows the value of learning the other side. The optimal entrepreneur has an understanding of both, allowing them to create value, wealth, and freedom. If you understand how things work, how to get where you want to go, and how to align things to make it happen, you’ll find the success you set out to achieve on day one.
