You know your revenue, sales targets, and closing rates, but how many date nights have you had with your wife, how many books have you read to your kids, or how many family meals have you enjoyed without checking your phone?
In this episode, I challenge the numbers successful entrepreneurs obsess over and introduce a different kind of scoreboard—one that helps you become as intentional about your marriage, children, and health as you are about growing your business.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why your obsession with business metrics may be costing you what matters most
- How your calendar reveals your actual priorities—not your intentions
- Why your marriage can quietly become a relationship between two roommates
- The surprising impact of tracking date nights on one entrepreneur's marriage and performance
- Why your spouse and children may stop asking for your attention
- How providing financially differs from being emotionally present
- The personal metrics worth tracking alongside revenue, sales, and profit
- How to create a simple personal scoreboard using a single index card
- Why scheduling your family commitments before business obligations changes everything
