Sharp Business Growth w/ Deacon Bradley

#08 You’re a CEO, your business is growing, you’re finally starting to get some tasks off your plate to free up some time, and you’re finally beginning to experience freedom for the first time in your business.

Now what? Did you just delegate your purpose? Does the business need you anymore? Has your team figured out you’re unnecessary yet?

We’ve seen tons of business leaders get stuck here. Typically they don’t even let these thoughts settle in before they’re back at it grinding away in the business.

To the CEO it’s keeping busy. To their team, it’s micromanaging, meddling, and annoying. 

Your team needs you to do bigger things. And that’s what we’re talking about today.

#09 Unless you want to be stuck with everything depending on you forever - then you need to figure out how to hire a great team. On today's show I share the simple-to-steal process that helped me build a team of 50+ people across 15 countries and 6 continents. 

It all starts with one simple question, and when you get this right your everything from your job description to your management will fall in place.

#07 If you want to create profitable, scalable growth in a DTC channel then you must understand the makeup of an all star team.

Your job as the CEO and business leader is to build a team that can put the ball in the endzone. Too many CEOs are trying to get the DTC channel going without really understanding what the key roles are.

Don't worry, even experienced brands miss this step.

But when they figure it out, things finally start to click.

Listen in with myself and special guest Angela Ponsford as we break down the components of an All Star DTC Marketing Team

#05 Visionaries & Integrators make a powerful growth combination when it comes to business growth. You can learn all about how that works in the book Rocket Fuel.

But with Visionaries outnumbering Integrators 4 to 1, it can be hard for many visionaries to find and understand that integrator that will explode their growth.

On today's show, Justus Murimi sits down with an integrator who's been approached by dozens of visionaries and digs into how to approach that "Number 2" who can help you realize your vision.

#04 On today's show we're going to clear up some confusion around a critical topic to your business growth - rest. This is a topic that is near and dear to our hearts because we have both been on each side of the "rest" paradox.

If you're a CEO who's saying, "Sounds great, but I don't have time for rest... or even this episode."

Well, you're in great company.

Listen in as we unpack how doing less can do more for your business than anything else.

#03 Want your business to grow faster, more predictably, AND with less effort? This episode outlines the surprising "step zero" it all depends on.

We've been behind the scenes of hundreds of growing businesses (and loads of not-so-growing businesses) and we both agree - a clear vision is crucial.

As the CEO, this is on you... but don't worry, we'll help you with the "how" and "why" in this episode.

#02 One of the things I see holding business leaders back from the growth that they want, and more importantly the freedom they want - it's TEAM.

Most CEOs see themselves as the quarterback on the field. They're directing traffic, making decisions, and moving the ball down the field play after play.

We like to see CEOs see themselves with the coaching headset on. Or even better, up in the owners box.

In this episode we break down the path from taking every snap to leader & owner mentality.
