Lately, I've been spending a lot of time reviewing my metrics, both personal and professional. I realized that many of the metrics fell into the category of lag measures (e.g. pounds lost per month). Now, I'm trying to pepper my goals with more lead measures (e.g. number of times I hit the gym per week), wanting a mix of both types of metrics. Same applies for running my business. Instead of focusing all my efforts on revenue, I'm keeping a close eye on metrics in my control (e.g. number of people I touched base with this week)
