Every Monday is affectionately referred to as Money & Metrics Monday here with Team Common Cents.  It’s when we stop and take stock of our progress and make plans for the coming week. It’s also what we do for our clients on Client Time Tuesdays.

Mentioned in this episode:

  • The money numbers we check…and it’s more than just keeping an eye on revenue
  • The money metrics that we check (and what makes them different than money numbers)
  • The 3 things I want you to do
