  1. What are your key business objectives? The more detail you can provide the better. “A gross income of $750,000” is better than just, “more gross income.”
  2. Brainstorm the measurements that will lead to your key business objectives.
  3. Pick one and determine how the measurement will be tracked.
  4. Place a weekly time on your calendar to look at the measurement so you can determine any trends.
