It’s been a great week. Haven’t completed as many tasks as I had hoped but we are making progress on several big fronts. I got to flesh out a new idea with @MatznerJon in Sagan Office Hours. I’ve gotten great feedback and will discuss tomorrow with the Live Dashboards Team.

Businesses that track their KPIs are in a better position to grow faster. But I’ve noticed across 75+ clients that when SMBs try to track their KPIs they hit the same roadblock: they use multiple tools that don’t talk to each other. So @SeanODowd15 , @Tom_Stubb and I have

@TheRealEstateG6 Gotta love how people nit pick the finer details when the point you’re trying to make is that good deal structure leads to healthy profits for everyone even if not a true home run deal. If $600k is mediocre then you’re probably doing something right.

@david_perell I totally agree. It’s tough because it’s hard to know if your opinion/analysis of topic is actually useful if you haven’t put in sufficient work. But you don’t want to get stuck in analysis paralysis either. I would think over time you get a better feel for when to publish.
