How to Get Started with Key Performance Indicators

As I mentioned in Episode 231, we are approaching 100,000 downloads for the Profit by Design podcast. That’s a huge, exciting milestone! The key for me has been consistency and the ironclad commitment I made to put out an episode every week. In trying to keep the content relevant and timely, today’s show is about getting started with key performance indicators (KPIs), which is a topic that many business owners want to understand better. Join us to learn more!

We are thankful for each and every listener, and we ask that if you find value in an episode, please share it with a friend and help us reach this big milestone. Your reviews of the podcast also help us in many ways, so please leave us a review on your podcast platform. In celebration of our upcoming 100K downloads milestone and “Being a gift from our gifts,” we want to thank you by offering our brand-new, recently updated Tap the Potential Annual Strategic Planner. This is a tool we use to support our clients who are committed to staying focused on their $10,000-an-hour activities. We have been innovative and creative in making this planner a useful and practical tool, and we are tweaking it even now to make it even better. I’ll be announcing the link and instructions for accessing the planner in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production Production.

About The Author

Dr. Sabrina Starling, The Business Psychologist and international best-selling author of the How to Hire the Best series and The 4 Week Vacation™, is the founder of Tap the Potential and host of the Profit by Design podcast. At Tap the Potential, we work to free business owners from the constant demands of a growing business.

We believe work supports life, not the other way around. Clients in our Better Business, Better Life coaching program have more time for what matters most and more money in their bank account than they’ve ever had. Next, we send them off on a 4 Week Vacation™ to celebrate their hard-earned journey to take their life back!

Dr. Sabrina and her team at Tap the Potential are on a mission to change the story of entrepreneurship from one of long hours, grinding it out, to one of sustainably profitable businesses that support and enhance life. The Tap the Potential Solution™ and our Tap the Potential Family of Business Owners are disrupting small business as usual. We are on our way to making the Tap the Potential Solution™ the mainstream model for growing business.

By 2023, 150 Tap the Potential clients will have taken 4 Week Vacations. These are the trailblazers, role modeling what’s possible for entrepreneurs. In many entrepreneurial circles, it is becoming more and more common for one entrepreneur to ask another, “Have you taken a 4 Week Vacation™?” (as opposed to asking “How many employees do you have?” or “What is your annual revenue?”). Taking a fully unplugged 4 Week Vacation is rapidly becoming the recognized symbol of entrepreneurial success.

Never one to accept the status quo or back down from a challenge, Dr. Sabrina’s How to Hire the Best series grew from her desire to solve the toughest hiring challenges interfering with her clients’ growth and profitability. What sprang from her experience working with entrepreneurs in rural areas catapulted her into becoming the world’s leading expert in attracting top talent in small businesses—no matter what hiring challenges those businesses are facing—and earned Tap the Potential’s reputation as the go-to resource for entrepreneurs committed to creating Great Places to Work with thriving coaching cultures and highly engaged team members working from strengths.

As The Business Psychologist, and with her years of driving profit in small businesses, Dr. Sabrina knows what it takes to find, keep, and motivate exceptional performance out of your biggest investment—team members.
