Sincerely, Future You

273. Is Your Focus on Leading or Lagging Indicators?


Listen Later

The emotional highs and lows of entrepreneurship can feel like whiplash, pulling us between euphoric wins and crushing setbacks. As business owners, we often look to past results to validate our progress and worth, creating an unhealthy cycle of emotional dependence on outcomes.

Leading indicators predict future success while lagging indicators measure past performance. Understanding the difference between these metrics - and where to focus our attention - can transform how we show up in our businesses. When we celebrate the actions and mindset that create results, rather than just the results themselves, we build sustainable confidence that withstands market fluctuations.


Join me this week as I break down why over-focusing on lagging indicators puts us on an emotional rollercoaster, reinforces logical (rather than revolutionary) growth strategies, and creates limiting narratives about what's possible.
