Marketing Smarts: Transitioning from a Rainmaker to an Architect of Your Business with Bradley Hamner, BlueprintOS
Going from the doer to the orchestrator can take your business to the next level. But it’s not the easiest thing in the world to do. It involves putting the right systems and processes in place, creating your vision, building your team, and performing a mindset shift. We wanted you to learn from one of our favorite business architects, so we welcomed on Bradley Hamner. He’s the Founder of BlueprintOS, a Keynote Speaker, and the Host of the Above The Business podcast. This episode covers everything from your vision to execution. Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:
- How do you stay ahead of issues with your business?
- What’s the difference between working in your business, on your business, and above your business?
- How do you make time for thinking time as an entrepreneur?
- When is it time to hire employees?
- What should your 3-year vision look like?
- How do you document systems & processes?
- Should you have an EA as a business owner?
