Goal setting and reflecting on last year are big buzz words at the start of a new year, but for business owners, these things are crucial. But when it comes to reading reports, what numbers are important? What do they all mean? And most importantly, how can we use these numbers to set goals and drive the business forward?

In this episode, Aubrey joins me as we dig into our own metrics and discuss some key points that will keep us moving forward in 2023. Metrics are only as good as what you do with them and these numbers are sure to create conversations that will not only benefit the business’s bottom line, but also each team member’s growth and development.
