What are the five numbers that tell you how last week went?

Most owners know how the week felt. Busy, slow, chaotic. Fewer can say whether cash went up or down, how many quotes went out, or how much is still owed past 30 days.

Feelings lag. Numbers don't.

Pick five that matter for your business. For a lot of owners it's something like: Cash in the bank. Sales booked. Money owed to you past 30 days. Quotes or proposals sent. Hours you worked yourself.

Write them on the same page every Monday morning. Ten minutes, no new software.

One week tells you almost nothing. Four weeks in a row shows you a trend early enough to do something about it, like quotes sliding before sales do.
