For entrepreneurs, the huge enthusiasm that surrounds the goal of “Making it Happen” is helpful and deadly in the same time. One the one hand, it is helpful because it allows them to be determined and focused on gettings things done. On the other hand, the enthusiasm of doing may reduce awareness towards progress. It’s just like swimming against the current of a river: you’re focused on swimming but you don’t really know whether you’re making progress or not.
We all seek to strike a balance between executing and checking progress. In many cases, this is hard to achieve because it is often:
- hard to define what progress means
- hard to define the most relevant metrics to track and visualize progress
- hard to do the actual measurement (takes time, effort, maybe even a considerable financial investment)
Being aware, in other words: knowing your numbers when and where it matters, is critical to make it happen. Together with a bunch of friends, I’ve enrolled on a journey to enable people and businesses to know their numbers when and where it matters elegantly and effortlessly. We’re just starting, so if you’re a practioner of “Making it Happen”, let’s keep in touch: I’d love to meet you, work with you and answer your questions. Just write me a line over here.
