Starting out? Growing? Scaling? Data. It’s fun! Seriously! Decide to be data-driven and the next phase of your business gets infinitely closer. It's easier than you think and more impactful than you can imagine. This speech is a fun ride through how we all use data everyday, tying data to business goals, the framework to build the right KPIs, and dashboard best practices to loop it all together! We dive into the role of data in small business! We talk about how most people are more data-driven than they realize and it's fairly simple to get to the next level, whatever that next level may be. From common KPIs, real life examples, and best practices (and some pineapple fun facts) this speech is a fun, followable outline of being data-driven!

Visualize your financials and see the difference. From creating and automating, to analyzing and acting, your new dashboard will be your new best friend. Your financials are at an important intersection for your business - they drive your future decisions but also represent the result of all of your past efforts. You’d think the more time spent on them the better, but the question is really “how effective can you be in the short time you realistically have”? You can’t be efficient by looking at a P&L, even if you’re a financial genius. However, if you have a dashboard showing exactly what you want to see, you can be efficient, effective, and decisive… even if you hate financials.
