Welcome to your Sustainable Growth Dashboard! 🎉
This is your new command center for building a business that grows steadily and sustainably—while keeping you sane and fulfilled.
The Big Idea
Most founders track metrics that push them to sprint. This dashboard is different. It helps you focus on sustainable progress across three key areas:
- Health: Is your business sustainable?
- Growth: Are you moving forward?
- Life: Are you living the life you want in the process?
Getting Started (5 minutes)
- Pick your metrics
- Choose 2–3 metrics within each category that matter most to you
- Start with our suggested metrics, or create your own
- Less is more—don't overwhelm yourself!
- Set realistic targets
- Choose numbers that feel almost too easy to hit
- Remember: we're building a marathon pace, not a sprint
- It's okay to adjust your targets up or down as you learn more about your capabilities
- Make it a habit
- Update your numbers monthly (not daily!)
- Use the Notes field to track context
- Look for patterns, not just numbers
Track it all in your own dashboard by duplicating the following page:

Tips
- Don't compare daily/weekly fluctuations
- Green doesn't always mean good (you might be pushing too hard)
- Red doesn't always mean bad (you might be investing in growth)
- Trust the process—sustainable growth compounds over time
- Duplicate the template for each month reviewed, so that you’re able to look back as time goes on and quickly see recurring trends
