Episode 10 - Track Your Business Impact - What Matters Most for Small Business Resilience
Manage episode 519596578 series 3672550
You’ve worked hard this year - cut waste, trained your team, switched suppliers, maybe even implemented a backup plan. But here’s the question: can you actually prove any of it made a difference? If a customer, lender, or even your own family asked, “What difference did it make?” or “How is your business really making an impact?”, would you have a clear answer, or just a vague feeling?
In this episode, we talk about how to stop guessing and start knowing. You’ll learn how to measure what matters most for business resilience, even if you’re not a “numbers person,” and how to turn your progress into a one-page snapshot that builds confidence, attracts customers, and helps you sleep better at night.
📊 What You’ll Learn
- Why tracking your impact = tracking your resilience
- A bite-sized GRI approach you can actually use
- How to track both what affects your business and how your business affects others
- Narrative + number = your secret weapon for grants, customers, and team morale
- A simple 30-60-90 day plan to build your own Impact Snapshot
✍️ Quick Action List for This Week
- Pick ONE metric you wish you knew right now (e.g., energy savings, team retention)
- Ask yourself: “If I improved this, what could I do with that result?”
- Find your current baseline and write it down
- Imagine the story behind the number: what would change for your team or business?
📄 Your 3-Part Impact Snapshot Includes:
- What’s hitting you from the outside (costs, supply chain issues, climate, labor)
- What ripple effects your business is creating (employee morale, reduced waste, community impact)
- What’s next (specific, realistic, meaningful goals for the next quarter or year)
This isn't a corporate report. It's a one-pager that helps you see, and show, what matters most.
