Creating a Monthly Report for Your Art Business (#74)

What is success? How do you measure it? What story do the numbers tell?

Confronting numbers can be intimidating, but it is an essential step to growing both yourself and your business. It forces you to be realistic about where you are, including your weaknesses, and it challenges you to make up for any lost ground.

This month we are looking into measuring success and today I want to share with you the tracking procedure that has helped grow my business by up to 40% every single year. I'll share ideas to help get you started on your own monthly business report, highlight some of the fun and surprising areas you need to track (beyond just the sales) and tell you how to download a copy of a monthly report for your art business.

The numbers definitely won't tell the whole story, but if you're looking for an effective and telling way to measure your efforts, your satisfaction, and your success, this is the place to start.
