As we move through the 4
th quarter of the year what are you noticing about your metrics?
If you have been completing the Monthly Daily Trackers, take a look at the patterns that have emerged.
Monthly daily trackers can be used in a number of different ways including these ways I have heard people use the trackers:
* To track amount of time spent on special tasks – i.e. the month of Nanowrimo (National Writing Month) is coming up – I’ll be using it to capture my word count (the goal of NANO is to write 50,000 words during the month)
* To focus on # of sales calls completed
* To note days design work (or other activities) are being undertaken
* To track WHEN revenue is coming in the door
* To identify and note HOW MUCH revenue is coming in the door (so including #s, not just a yes/no)
The Content Trackers can also be used to:
Note the one piece of content which is being shared, and noting WHERE it is shared (Monthly Content Trackers)
OR
Using the One Line a Day to note how the day went, how they felt or major events or thoughts from the day. You could note a daily mantra, or a daily intention.
On a personal basis you might consider:
* Tracking exercise –noting things like steps per day or number of minutes of exercise
* Tracking time spent on getting things organized – many of us have a variety of organizing tasks which need to be completed.
Here’s a quick list of some of the metrics you may want to track:
- Sales
- Website visits
- Downloads
- Revenue
- Reads
- Sample Sessions
- Products Developed
- Speaking engagements
- Likes
- Numbers of clients
- Hours Billed
- Net Profit
- Social visits
- # of books sold
- Operating Revenue
