In this episode, we discuss why running a business using a P&L is like driving a car looking through the rear-view mirror, how to set and control your spending with a budget, why daily tracking increases your situational awareness, and how sharing what you've tracked gets your team more involved. Also, we get a little off topic and discuss the significance of developing a "playbook" or protocols.
