83. Just Follow the Data

What’s Inside


1. Capture Real-Time Feedback

Do I enjoy rising each day at o'dark thirty?

NO.

Do I love completing my workouts before breakfast?

YES.

I know that if I don't prioritize workouts they likely won't happen.

Even with the best of intentions.

And I know that a post-workout dashboard will hold me accountable.

There's no hiding from the numbers...

The real-time feedback is there - distance, time, avg pace, and more.

Just follow the data.

I can understand trends, improvements, and setbacks and adjust accordingly.

***********************

It's the same in business as in life.

With Q4 in full swing, clients are asking how'd we do? What's still needed?

Hopefully these answers are clear but if they aren't...

Create a VISUAL DASHBOARD to review your strategy - at least quarterly.

Dynamic Dashboards help your company:

  • Track progress: What gets measured gets done. It's important to set clear goals and metrics and to review them regularly.

  • Fine-tune focus: It’s easy to lose sight of your ​NorthStar​, and it's critical to regularly (re)align on goals & priorities.

  • Prevent issues: Proactively address challenges before they get out of hand to save time, stress, and money.

  • Adapt to changing conditions: Stay on top of industry trends, client preferences, and technological advancements to stay competitive.

  • Enhance resilience: Regularly reviewing your strategy helps you navigate market fluctuations & turbulent times. Agility & flexibility are key.

Position your company to make data-driven decisions & fuel growth.
