What are some ways you track and measure growth in a business model that is brand new to you as an owner?

Step 1: Race to break even.

Step 2: Race to an above average net profit for your industry/sector.

Step 3: Invest in growth, which will eat into net profit, bringing it down to an unsustainable level, but it’s necessary.

Step 4: Return to profit margin in Step 2, but at a higher revenue figure.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you achieve maximum reasonable market share.

“But Scott, this makes it sound like business is all about the profit?!?!”

Yes.
