What's Working Right Now
"Most businesses I work with get overwhelmed by too much data. The ones that succeed pick three key metrics and track them religiously. It's not about having every number - it's about having the right numbers."
- Focus on cash flow timing rather than just monthly totals
- Track customer acquisition costs alongside revenue growth
- Monitor expense ratios by category, not absolute amounts
- Set up alerts for unusual spending patterns
- Review and adjust measurement systems every quarter
