Thoughts from Michele:

• We can't measure everything all the time and need KPIs for measuring what is most important.

• KPIs can be determined by knowing the goals your firm has for each quarter and measuring to the goals consistently.

• Build SOPs to support your measuring goals.

• Charging to grow allows for growth and reinvestment in your firm.

• Having a strategic plan is crucial to grow your business.

• Create a plan then build your time and money based on that plan for profitability.

• If you don't know where every dollar goes, you don't know how that time is going to be spent then you need to halt and think about what you're doing.

• Know your process.

• Look at your business in cash and accrual.

• See the 360 view of your business.

• To protect what you are building, you need three to six months of a cushion to carry operating expenses.

• Change allows us to get something different.
