À propos de ce contenu audio

 Most founders feel “fine” until cash gets tight, sales wobble, and they realise they’ve been driving the business by vibe.If you’re waiting for your accountant to tell you how you’re doing, you’re already late.In this episode, Lewis Haydon breaks down why business coaching starts with numbers, not motivation and why business mentoring fails when founders only look backwards at accounts instead of tracking leading indicators. From MentorBusiness.com, Lewis explains the “dashboard mindset”: stop outsourcing clarity to your accountant, build a simple weekly scorecard, and use data to predict the next 30–90 days so you can make decisions before the stress hits.Takeaways:Your accountant tells you what happened, not what’s about to happen.The job isn’t “know the numbers.” The job is “track the right numbers weekly.”Leading indicators beat lagging indicators: you need a crystal ball, not a post-mortem.Build one master dashboard first, then split into sales, marketing, and ops dashboards as you scale.Revenue doesn’t fix everything — conversion, retention, delivery, and cash timing matter.“Free marketing” often just makes you feel busy; it doesn’t create predictable demand.If you’re not tracking, you can’t manage performance (yours or your team’s).Strategy isn’t the main problem — behaviour is. Consistency beats hype.Coaches aren’t paid for information; they’re paid for accountability and follow-through.If you won’t do it, hire someone who will, but expect it to cost you.Chapters: 00:00 — Why founders keep asking for “more numbers”01:10 — The accountant problem: always late, always backwards02:30 — The “crystal ball” analogy: driving without a dashboard04:10 — Start simple: track something weekly05:20 — The master dashboard: what a solopreneur should track first06:30 — Sales dashboard: inquiries, conversion, lifetime value08:00 — Ops dashboard: delivery, service, churn, outcomes10:08 — Mid-roll: why these boardroom conversations exist10:54 — Marketing reality check: “free” usually means ineffective12:40 — Level up: reporting + action, not just collecting data14:10 — 2026 behaviour test: if nothing changed in 20 days, nothing changes16:00 — Coaching and accountability: gym memberships don’t get results18:10 — The hard truth: numbers shift only when behaviour shifts20:00 — Leverage: hire capability, but understand the costKeywords: business coaching, business mentoring, Lewis Haydon, MentorBusiness.com, business mentor, leadership development, CEO coaching, scale your business, business growth strategy, organisational behaviour, entrepreneurship coaching, global business mentoring platform, financial dashboard, weekly scorecard, KPI dashboard, leading indicators, lagging indicators, sales conversion, cash flow management, profit tracking, customer retention, marketing ROI, founder accountability, business performance, numbers in businessFind out more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠lewishaydon.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠
