Step Up Your Game: How Monitoring Key Business Metrics Can Propel Solopreneur Success

I have a goal to walk 10K steps every day.

I have this amazing watch that not only tracks my steps but also gives reminds me to get off my butt and get moving.

I love my watch because I know what’s working in my week and what’s not.  For instance, Sundays are a bit hit-and-miss so maybe I want to make time for a longer walk with our dog.

It’s the same in our business.  We need to know our key business metrics, to understand our performance.  Are we hitting our targets? Or is it time to shake things up a bit? Just like my watch nudges me, these metrics nudge us towards our business goals.

As solopreneurs, it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and overlook this crucial aspect. But, trust me, keeping tabs on these metrics is vital for achieving our aspirations.

In my corporate career, we used to say what gets measured gets managed.  By keeping a close eye on these key metrics, we make more informed decisions, strategise effectively, and achieve the results we’re all striving for.

Now think about your business.

What are the key metrics that give you a health check of your business?  Do you have a set time each week or month to review them?  If not, make it a priority.  These are the numbers that matter.
