Sharp Business Growth w/ Deacon Bradley

#19 One of the first things I look for when I get behind the scenes of a business is how well they know their numbers. As a Founder & CEO it can be tempting to spend all your time on vision and that stuff, but it's the numbers that will enable or disable you to get there.

This step of the process I call instrumentation: you need to install instruments that help you navigate to your goals of scale AND profitability.

On today's show we're joined by Bruce Beaumant, an experienced CFO I've gotten to know through clients' businesses. When Bruce works with CEOs they experience more clarity and greater profits.

#17 If you're lucky enough to have a highly talented team member, then you need to know how to NOT mess that up. Sadly, it's a mistake we see so often that it came up on two of our calls with business leaders just this week.

Listen in as we break down the mistake, the temptation, and how to avoid it so you can keep your best talent on the field instead of losing them to another team.

#16 Every business leader has a vision for what their business could become. To bring it into reality you need a team. That's where most people get stuck. I get it, it's hard. In this episode we dig into Deacon's experience going from a 1 man band to leading a team of 50 members. You'll also find hear the common path many CEOs take that leads them to get stuck.

#14 I'll never forget the slow realization of this Founder & CEO as he did the mental math, "You just saved me $30,000 or more right there!" The culprit was wasted ad spend, and the solution is in this episode.

#13 This time of year many people are spending time on goals and visions for the new year. For a business to survive and thrive, you also need to make sure it has a clear identity.

Without an identity you'll be prone to distraction, getting stuck, or worse - building something you never really wanted in the first place.

In this episode we share stories about where we learned this and the positive and negative effects.
