Measure & Track

Tracking and measuring is important... If you're tracking and measuring the right stuff.

Last night, Chad and I found some errors in the tracking spreadsheet we use for our projects. The right data was being entered for some of it but there was missing information if we wanted to see the whole picture.

Not only is this important for what we do for our projects but it's important for so many other things in life and in business. If we're tracking the wrong stuff, have an error in calculations or have the wrong baseline, we could be way off without realizing it.

So how do we make sure we're doing this right?

I'm not sure I have the answer to that but I can say that taking action will always bring us closer to an answer, no matter what we are looking for.

By taking action we find out what's working and what's not working.

If we have mistakes, we'll find them sooner. Heck, if we never take action, we may never find the mistakes!

Action takes "theory" and gives you "reality".
