Episode 520: Signal vs. Noise

In this powerful year-end reflection, Bradley explores the critical distinction between signal and noise in business—and how clarifying this difference can transform your 2026 planning. Drawing inspiration from Stephen Bartlett's Diary of a CEO and Kevin O'Leary's wisdom from his time at Apple with Steve Jobs, Bradley challenges listeners to identify what truly moved the needle in 2025 versus what just created distraction and complexity.

This episode bridges two complementary frameworks: the signal vs. noise concept and Dr. Ben Hardy's scaling principles from his latest book. Together, these ideas offer a powerful lens for simplifying your business and focusing on what actually drives results.

Join us at The Q1 Planning Workshop!

Most business owners hit January with good intentions and a loose idea of what they want to accomplish. By March, they're back in reactive mode, wondering where the quarter went.

Here's the thing: Q1 sets the tone for your entire year. If you don't have a clear plan going in, you're leaving your business growth to chance.

That's why Bradley is hosting a live Q1 Planning Workshop on December 9th at 10 AM CST.

This isn't another feel-good goal-setting session. We're going to roll up our sleeves and do the real work:

Financial Analysis & Planning – Review where you actually stand (not where you think you stand) and set revenue targets that make sense for your business.

90-Day Plan Design – Build a focused quarterly plan that moves the needle, not just keeps you busy.

The Clarity Organizer – Use this framework to translate your vision into actionable steps your team can actually execute.

You'll walk away with a concrete plan for Q1 that creates momentum for the rest of 2025.

When: Monday, December 9th at 10 AM CST

Investment: $25

Who It's For: Business owners doing $300K-$3M in annual revenue who are serious about growth
