If you don’t measure, you don’t know where you’re going to. It’s like putting a destination in the GPS, and then turning the screen and sound off…. You probably won’t arrive at your destination But if you track your progress and make sure you’re actually on the right track, it’s so much easier to reach your goals!

Sorry for the above incomplete post.

We all need to define what success means to us and then measure it so that we can determine if we are successful.

I totally agree with this sentiment and in one fo my blogs which I consider a Christian ministry, I define success as the number of people who email or leave comments saying that the content has really helped them in some aspect of their spiritual life.

No matter how many we’re fail, we must stay on track. Never give up.
Because success isn’t as easy as turning your back hand, but it needs a time and process.

Good point. I agree that we should measure our success from time to time so that we can check on the shortcomings and work for more success. Measuring success is all about keeping track of how much we’ve achieved and how much we can still achieve. Its a very positive attitude to measure success.

Hi Dawud. You’re totally right. You need to measure success, since results aren’t always instant.

I compare it to planting a tree. You plant the little seeds, you care for them, water them when needed etc. It might take months (even years for a real tree) before you will see the results.

But when you do, it is crucial to know what exactly caused the success, so you can do more of the same!

How do I measure the success of my business? Well, I have two basic questions that I ask myself. The first is am I making a decent amount of money from the effort I’m putting into the business. And the second is are my customers getting value for money and satisfaction from the service I’m delivering? If the answer is yes to both questions, I’m doing well.

Hey Dawud! really a great post and thought provoking. I think that it is necessary to measure the success to ensure that you are on the right track and to get most out of your efforts. Actually I believe in smart working rather than hard working and measuring success is foundation for smart working.

Measurements are a great idea. Some complimentary ones are a good idea too, for example I monitor the number of new clients per month, whilst at the same time monitoring the number of clients leaving, due to closing their business, going back into the job market etc.

Simple systems can be put in place, they don’t necessarily have to be hi-tech, perhaps just a white board in an office can focus the team with the key metrics.

I’ve always been a strong believer in measuring you’re level of success in a physical way. For example in my line of work, I have a spreadsheet. I always think that it acts as a motivation nmore than anything

Great post.

Although ‘measurement’ is key for knowing exactly what you’re doing right and wrong, I think it’s important not to measure everything.

In today’s social media obsessed world, too many people get caught up with useless metrics that mean nothing in terms of ROI.

Surely one of the answers to success is management of good quality because it is she who will show you what to do and what better way to go, because you have a good basis of what you need, than it has in abundance and that is missing. So getting through to the success of a goal or objective. Great post to stop and reflect on our attitudes towards our company.

The first rule of success, and the one that supercedes all others, is to have energy. It is important to know how to concentrate it, how to focus it on important things instead of frittering it away on trivia.

Measuring results will tell you when you’re doing something that works, and it’s always a good idea to expand on those kinds of endeavors. When something isn’t a success or hurts you, you can stop wasting time and other resources on it.
