The $35k / Month Formula: What It Really Takes to Build a $400k Fractional Business

Bradley Jacobs breaks down the systematic approach to building a sustainable fractional business generating $25-40K monthly. Most fractional experts dream of reaching $400K+ annually, but lack a clear roadmap to get there. This episode provides that roadmap through three essential components: structuring high-value retainer clients, implementing a proven LinkedIn lead generation strategy, and maintaining consistent business development for long-term sustainability.

Bradley emphasizes the importance of getting crystal clear on your goals first - knowing exactly how much you want to earn, how many clients you'll serve, and your ideal working hours. He explains how to price based on value rather than time, using partnerships as an example where a few hours of work can generate millions in client value. The episode covers boundary-setting, scope management, and the three-part LinkedIn strategy that includes content creation, daily networking, and strategic engagement. Most importantly, he stresses that business development never stops, even when your client roster is full, and provides practical advice on investing in support systems to maintain sustainability.
