## Resource

How's your business doing… financially? I don't mean "Are you having a great sales year?"... I mean, when you dig down into the nitty gritty numbers, is it healthy? Are you doing as well as you should? Are you doing as well as you THINK you are? This podcast is all about getting into your numbers. In this episode, Rich interviews Gary Cohen, Vice President of Certified Contractors Network; They are going to do a deep dive into what kinds of things you should be looking at and measuring to make sure everything is working as well as it should. You'll hear a lot about KPI's… key performance indicators… and something called "the virtuous cycle." This is not the most fun and entertaining episode you're ever going to hear–but it just might be one of the most important for the overall health of your business
