Today, Den talks about strategic goals, revenue goals, and financial goals, and... how to efficiently and effectively track and measure your business's key metrics so you can save more time and make more dime.

Good stuff, indeed.

Here's a sneak peek at what you'll hear:

• 3 questions every freelancer should be able to answer as easily as "What's your name?" (If you sputter and stammer at these 3 simple (but critical) business questions, then that might explain why you get a little distracted or why your business is not taking off the way you know it could. Listen up at 2:30 to see if you can answer these 3 critical business questions.)

• A marketing "fallacy" that makes the average business owner's marketing dam near useless. - 9:40
