How To Tell The Future

Can you sense it? 

It’s almost the end of June!!

In just 8 days we’ll have KPIs from not only one month, or even one quarter, we’ll have data for a whole half year!  I’m so excited I might need new pants!

Looking Back

People think that Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) only measure the past - and when it comes to monthly and quarterly data, that’s generally true.  But 180 days - that’s a whole half year of your life, if you’ve been doing something that long - you’ll have developed a habit - a trend - and trends project the future.

Resource Allocation

Half year trends allow you to make fairly accurate projections as to what will work going forward.

$5k or 5 hours a month allocated to the wrong tactic is money and time down the drain, but allocated to the right tactic can have a huge impact on your bottom line.

Becoming Zoltar

While I’d like to finish this email with a link to a Webinar series where I take you through the esoteric world of Scrying, Tarot decks and bone reading...I’m sorry - it’s a little duller than that.

Determine the performance indicators you want to track and the behaviors you want to measure, create a spreadsheet and allocate time every month to fill it in and then analyze the results.

It’s not sexy, it’s kinda boring, but if you do it, the results are magical!

Feeling a little down? Listen to this, it really helps you feel better.
