Tired of tracking numbers that never translate to action? Frustrated by repeating the same mistakes in your business month after month? It's time to transform how you approach your monthly business review.
A powerful monthly review isn't about creating pretty charts or judging your performance—it's about building a business intelligence system that reveals patterns and informs smarter decisions. Many entrepreneurs fall into two traps: meticulously tracking everything but acting on nothing, or avoiding numbers altogether while wondering why they keep hitting the same walls.
In this value-packed episode, we dive into the four questions that will revolutionize your monthly review process: What's working (and why)? What's genuinely not working? What has changed in your business or market? And based on these insights, what should you focus on next? Through real-world examples, we explore how understanding the complete picture—not just isolated metrics—leads to sustainable growth. Like the business owner who mistakenly doubled down on social content when it was actually her email follow-up driving sales, missing the why behind our successes can lead us astray.
We also break down which metrics truly matter for service-based entrepreneurs. From leading indicators that predict future performance to operational metrics revealing your business's efficiency, you'll learn to focus on the vital few measurements that actually move the needle. And don't forget the personal metrics—because what's the point of growing a business that leaves you burnt out and miserable?
The monthly review process I outline takes just 90 uninterrupted minutes but yields incredible clarity. You'll discover how to translate numbers into actionable insights by examining your calendar, client feedback, and personal energy levels. Most importantly, you'll learn to implement changes through a simple framework: one thing to start, one thing to stop, and one thing to do differently.
Remember, every minute you continue in a direction that isn't working costs you money, time, and peace of mind. Success follows speed, and as a small business owner, you control that speed. Ready to build a business that works for your life instead of running it? Start with a monthly review that actually matters.
