The 3 Numbers Every Business Owner Needs to Know
Stop reacting to fires and start guiding your business with confidence. In Episode 92 of "What the Biz?!," Brigitte Vegter and Daniel Proczko deliver a strategic blueprint for mastering your business's financials. This episode reveals the three most important financial numbers that go beyond profit and sales, along with two powerful bonus metrics. Learn to transform your company from a reactive entity to a data-driven, scalable, and resilient machine.
Discover the keys to unlocking your business's financial health:
- Master your critical number to eliminate scattered focus and align your team around a single, quarterly goal.
- Identify your biggest revenue producer to ensure you are doubling down on the products or services that are actually profitable, not just the ones that bring in the most money.
- Understand your break-even point so you always know if you can afford to spend, hire, or pay yourself.
- Break through growth ceilings by finding and fixing your biggest bottleneck.
- Learn to solve the frustration of constantly chasing new sales by focusing on lifetime value per client and increasing the profitability of your existing customer base.
Show Notes
In this episode, Daniel and Brigitte provide a strategic framework for managing your business using five key financial metrics that go beyond basic reporting.
Key Takeaways:
- The Critical Number: Find the one metric to focus on each quarter to drive big change and give your team a clear, unified goal. Ask yourself, "Where do I feel the most pain in my business?" to find it.
- The Biggest Revenue Producer: Your most profitable service or product may not be the one that brings in the most revenue. Identify it by layering all costs (including your time and marketing) on each service line to find your true profit margin.
- The Break-Even Point: Calculate how much you need to earn each month to cover all your expenses. This gives you a clear target and a way to prove the viability of any growth spurt or new investment.
- Bonus 1: The Biggest Bottleneck: Identify the one constraint that is capping your business’s revenue and focus on fixing it. This can be a process, a person, or a system.
- Bonus 2: Lifetime Value per Client: Know how much each client is worth to you over the course of your relationship. This solves the problem of constantly chasing new sales and justifies your investment in marketing and retention .
