Not sure what to track? This will help.


Hi, Reader!

Let’s talk about a quiet frustration so many business owners carry:
You’ve posted the content. You’ve done what you were told “should” work. Now you're looking at the data you have and wondering:

“What am I actually supposed to do with all this data?”

If that sounds familiar, you’re in good company.

Most of us weren’t taught how to listen to our marketing systems—we were handed platforms and promises, not real clarity or feedback when things aren't working as promised.

That’s why I wrote this guide:

👉 The Ultimate Guide to Marketing Metrics (That Actually Matter)

It walks you through the five categories of metrics that give you traction—not just attention. You’ll learn:

✅ The difference between metrics, KPIs, and what should actually be “key” right now
✅ What to track at each stage of your client journey (without drowning in data)
✅ How to build a simple, focused scorecard you can review in minutes—not hours

Whether you’re starting fresh or fine-tuning what’s already in motion, this guide is designed to bring calm, clarity, and confident next steps.

Your marketing will feel lighter—and your decisions will get clearer.

Hi, Reader!The internet is noisier — and a lot less human — than most people realize. Bots now make up more than half of all web traffic, and even Google admitted in court that AI is driving some of the growth in search queries. So what does that mean for you as a coach, consultant, or small business owner? That’s what I tackled in my latest post: 2026 Marketing Predictions: 5 Trends That Matter (and What to Do About Them). 👉 Read the full predictions here. I’ll give you the highlights now:...

Hi, Reader!Here’s something I believe with my whole heart: You are a steward — not at the mercy of algorithms, and not dependent on gurus and bizfluencers. Stewardship is about tending what you’ve been entrusted with — your time, energy, relationships, and business — so it thrives, compounds, and blesses others. Stewardship means you’re not a victim of shifting algorithms or a slave to playbooks. You are the one who gets to guide, tend, and grow what you’ve been given. It’s not just...
