The most successful owners I know obsess over this one thing every Monday morning:
❌ Not their email inbox
❌ Not their to-do list
✅ Their scorecard
You can’t improve what you don’t measure.
Too many owners are flying blind. They have a “gut feeling” about how the business is doing. They look at their bank account and think that tells the whole story.
It doesn’t.
Your bank balance is a lagging indicator. By the time you see a problem there, you’re already bleeding cash for weeks.
A proper scorecard gives you leading indicators. It tells you:
- Are you winning or losing THIS WEEK?
- What needs immediate attention?
- Where should you double down?
- Is your sales process working?
My simple process:
I wake up at 5 AM every Monday (and most other days).
This locks in 1-2 hours of focused work to sit in silence, analyzing what’s working, what’s not, and deciding where to focus my attention for the week.
Being intentional is the biggest hack I know to get ahead in business.
Intentional with your schedule.
Intentional with your action plan.
Intentional in creating success.
Because if you’re not intentional, you’ll get absolutely crushed by the daily waves of owning a business.
You get pulled in a million directions. A key employee quits. A driver crashes your truck into a garage door. Your credit card gets locked for fraud.
It’s impossible to grow when your mind is focused on triaging situations.
How do you get your head above water?
Being intentional + accountability.
Accountability means doing 100% of the things you say you’re going to do. It’s a skill that takes time to build.
It’s convenient to say “I’ll get to that later” or “I don’t have time for this. I know what I need to do.”
But lying to yourself doesn’t drive results.
I’ve been doing this personally for years, and now we’re rolling it out inside 8-Figure Franchisee.
Every Monday, our members post their scorecard plus a comment on the wins, losses, and most importantly, the action plan for the week ahead.
It's not about just celebrating the record weeks.
The real growth happens when you’re honest about the terrible one too.
Running from problems doesn’t solve them.
Facing them head-on, getting clarity on solutions, and taking action does.
