Above The Business

Bradley sits down with Greg Crabtree — CPA, author of Simple Numbers, Straight Talk, Big Profits, and founder of a consulting practice that grew from a $1M local firm to a $7M national operation — for a candid, data-driven conversation about what it actually takes to build a profitable business in today's economy.Greg shares what 40+ years of working with entrepreneurs has taught him, why the old playbook no longer applies, and what the numbers say is separating thriving businesses from struggling ones right now.Key TakeawaysPay yourself a market-based wage. Greg's research is clear: every time a business owner raises their salary to a true market wage and builds profitability on top of it, they make more money — far exceeding the payroll tax cost. It's behavioral economics: you fight harder to protect payroll than you do to protect profit.Stop spending money to save on taxes. If you didn't need that piece of equipment for 52 weeks, you don't need it now. You can't spend a dollar to save 40 cents and come out ahead. Make more money and pay the tax — that's how you build wealth.The growth-gets-you-out-of-jail strategy is broken. In a no-growth economy, you can't count on revenue to bail you out of over-investing in people, technology, or overhead. The move: cut costs to get profitable with what you have, then grow.The black hole has expanded. Greg's 100-company model shows the toughest profitability squeeze is now hitting the $3M–$10M range — not just the $3M mark. Businesses in this zone are incurring enterprise-level costs without enterprise-level scale.Management efficiency is the separator. The businesses pulling ahead right now are lean on management labor. Many are early AI adopters — using software agents to do more with the same dollars and freeing up management bandwidth to actually use data rather than just collect it.

Most small business owners are naturally great at sales — it's their business, their passion, and they've lived it from day one. The problem? What lives in their head is almost impossible to transfer to a team.In this episode, Bradley sits down with Nikki Rausch, founder of Sales Maven and author of The Selling Staircase, to talk about what it actually takes to build a sales team that performs without you. From structure and tonality to training, coaching, and the metrics that actually matter — this one is packed.About Nikki RauschNikki Rausch is the founder of Sales Maven and has spent over 25 years in professional sales — rising from her first job (landed via a college project) to becoming the top-producing rep in North America for one of the largest companies in the world. After discovering neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and its power to transform how we communicate, Nikki left the corporate world to teach relationship-based selling to entrepreneurs. She's now helped hundreds of business owners close more sales without feeling pushy or inauthentic.

"Does your behavior match your stated objectives? If you claim you want to scale the business but you have no framework or capacity building plan in place, there's a disconnect." - Chris Papin. What if your business struggles aren't about working harder—but about whether your daily actions actually match what you say you want to achieve? In this conversation, Bradley sits down with Chris Papin, attorney and CPA, to explore the critical gap between stated objectives and actual behavior in business. Chris shares his framework for thinking about business decisions through three lenses: personal, community, and client impact. He unpacks why most business owners don't truly understand their financials (and why that's costing them), the business judgment rule that separates smart decisions from lucky ones, and why Tom Brady's success on offense came from his defensive genius. If you've ever felt out of alignment with your own goals or wondered why your numbers don't reflect your stated priorities, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on getting above your business. What Working Above the Business Means to Chris: "It's gonna shift during where I am in the life cycle of my business. But what it means to me is I go back to the original vision. I have kind of three components that are in my vision: There's a personal piece, there's a community piece, and then there's a client-side piece. The personal piece is the internal me, my team, the objectives there. The community is elevating others. Obviously we want to take care of our clients. If I focus on those three pieces and really recognize what's at stake and work my business to achieving those objectives, I'm above the business doing the right things I need to do as a business owner to steer people to those objectives. Fully knowing that I am also the licensed professional where I have to be in my business from time to time to do that too. I'm okay with that because that's what I signed up for, but that distinction matters because I do have to step out of my technician's role to get up into that entrepreneurial role." This episode of Above the Business is for business owners who are ready to stop reacting and start leading with clarity, intention, and alignment between what they say they want and what they actually do.

Time to bring back a word you probably don't use enough in your business: quotas. In this solo episode, Bradley breaks down why setting specific, measurable, time-bound performance goals for your team isn't just a sales concept—it's a clarity tool that transforms how you coach, manage, and drive results across your entire organization.Key Takeaways"How did your sales team perform as a percent to quota in January? If they had to sell 50 widgets and they sold 55, they were over 100% to quota."Setting defined timeframes and defined outcomes creates the foundation for effective coaching and accountability. When your team knows exactly what's expected, you can coach them toward specific targets instead of vague goals like "do more."Visit BlueprintOS.com to learn about the 2026 Above The Business Workshops, our coaching programs, and resources designed specifically for small business owners who want to build systematic, scalable operations that don't require your constant presence.

"My best learning opportunities were the ones where I've ultimately failed or made huge mistakes. I basically got an MBA in acquisitions in that deal." - Cameron BishopWhat if you could see your business through the eyes of someone who's completed over 100 acquisitions?

Are you tired of feeling like you're living the same business year over and over again? In this episode, Bradley Hamner tackles the frustration many business owners feel when December rolls around and they're going through the same annual planning motions—setting objectives, hosting kickoffs, and wondering if anything will really change this time.Drawing inspiration from the classic movie Groundhog Day, Bradley explores the delicate balance between maintaining what works in your business while evolving to stay ahead of the curve. He challenges the common trap of either being an "arsonist" who burns down everything that's working or getting stuck in comfortable routines that no longer serve your growth.Key Question: How do you gain 20 years of real experience instead of repeating the same year 20 times?Visit BlueprintOS.com to learn about the 2026 Above The Business Workshops, our coaching programs, and resources designed specifically for small business owners who want to build systematic, scalable operations that don't require your constant presence.

Welcome to 2026! In this episode, Bradley shares a powerful insight from a recent breakfast conversation that will transform how you approach reading business books this year. The question isn't just "Have you read it?" — it's "Have you realized it?"During a coffee meeting with an incredibly well-read business leader, Bradley heard a phrase he'd never forget. When discussing books they'd both read, his breakfast companion asked about The Fifth Discipline and whether leaders had actually "realized" the books on their shelves — not just read them.Reading vs. RealizingThere's a massive difference between consuming content and implementing it. Bradley reflects on books he's read where he could share the big idea but couldn't articulate how those concepts actually changed his business or personal life. Compare that to books like The Road Less Stupid, which he references at least once a year and has profoundly impacted his decision-making.Join Us at the 2026 Above The Business Event SeriesWant to experience more transformational content like this?
