Listen "#73 Ditch Vanity Metrics—Measure What Actually Matters- Marketing Mindset Shift #5"
Episode Synopsis
In this solo episode, I’m diving into a topic that comes up all the time with entrepreneurs and creatives: vanity metrics. It’s so easy to get caught up in likes, follows, and views—but those numbers don’t always tell the real story of how your business is doing. I’m breaking down the difference between what looks good and what actually moves the needle. I’ll walk you through how to shift your focus to meaningful metrics—like leads, conversions, client retention, and revenue—and how to build a simple scorecard to track what matters. If you’ve ever felt like you’re working hard but not seeing results, this episode is for you.Here’s what I cover:Why surface-level metrics can be distracting (and even misleading)The truth about engagement—it’s not just public likes and commentsHow to separate busy work from work that actually drives resultsA simple way to build your own business scorecardWhy revenue isn’t something to shy away from—it’s a core business metricHow to make sure your tracking evolves with your goalsIf you love this show, please leave us a review.
