Brad Parker

In the world of entrepreneurship, some stories stand out not just for their success, but for the principles that drive them. Brad Parker's journey from retail maverick to SaaS innovator is one such tale, anchored by his powerful mantra: "Hit It!"

Brad's entrepreneurial spirit was forged in the crucible of retail. Over 20 years, he transformed his Petland franchise into a success story, culminating in winning the prestigious Petland "Impact Award" (2022). But for Brad, success wasn't just about numbers—it was about developing a replicable system for achievement.

"I used to be a poor leader," Brad reflects. "I figured if I told them once, that should be enough. At the end of the day, I just wasn't ready to be successful." This honest self-assessment marked a turning point. Brad realized that clearly defined goals and intentional action were the keys to unlocking potential—both for himself and others.

This realization led to the development of Brad's core philosophies: The Triangle of Success and the Power of 27. The Triangle of Success emphasizes the interconnectedness of culture, sales, and marketing in driving business growth. The Power of 27 is a goal-setting methodology that encourages individuals to dream big and take consistent action towards their aspirations.

Armed with these principles, Brad didn't just elevate his own business—he became a mentor and resource for other franchisees, sharing his insights and helping them improve their operations. His impact on the Petland community was significant, leading to his recognition with the Impact Award.

But Brad's entrepreneurial journey was far from over. Recognizing the challenges of consumer financing in retail, he made a bold pivot into the tech world, founding FormPiper. This SaaS platform streamlines the financing process, embodying Brad's commitment to solving real-world problems with innovative solutions.

In life, when you have BIG goals, you have to take action. But you also have to be patient and consistent," Brad emphasizes. This philosophy underpins his approach to FormPiper, which he aims to grow not just for financial success, but to fuel his charitable ambitions.

For Brad, true success lies in empowering others. Through his Drive Success Today initiative, he shares his hard-earned wisdom with aspiring entrepreneurs. And with Drive Charity Today, Brad sets an ambitious goal of donating one (1) million chess boards and books, aiming to inspire strategic thinking and a love of learning in young minds.

Brad's journey is a testament to the power of continuous growth and giving back. From a struggling leader to a visionary entrepreneur, he's never lost sight of the importance of empowering others. As he looks to the future, Brad remains committed to his core values: setting audacious goals, taking decisive action, and making a positive impact on the world.

In Brad's words: "You are fantastic and can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Just write it down and take action!" It's this unwavering belief in human potential that continues to drive Brad Parker forward, inspiring others to hit it and achieve their dreams along the way.
