The Wrong Dashboard

It’s not that your metrics are bad. They’re just incomplete.

🧠 ONE Smart Idea

Dashboards tell stories.
But every story has blind spots.

You’re tracking leads, conversions, MRR, churn...
Great.
But where are:

• Your margin for clarity?

• Your protected time blocks?

• Your freedom score?

And that means you’re scaling what’s visible, not what’s vital.

📖 Story Spark

A founder in our circle added “Team Energy” to his weekly scorecard.

Just one question:

He started scoring it alongside revenue and retention.

Guess what happened?

• Client churn dropped

• Team burnout faded

• He finally stepped out of ops

All because he saw what actually mattered—and designed for it.

⚙️ Tactical Application: Build Your Freedom-First KPI Set

Step 1: Add What You Can’t See

Here are 4 vital metrics your dashboard probably ignores:

1. Clarity Score – How clear are you on what matters this week? (1–10)

2. Margin Hours – Hours of white space (unbooked time) in the week

3. Energy Index – Net energy gain/loss across tasks or offers

4. Delegation Rate – % of work you could have done, but didn’t

Step 2: Build a Two-Panel Dashboard (Free Template)

Create this in:

• Notion: with linked databases + weekly scoring

• Airtable: for visual heat maps and automation triggers

Step 3: Use GPT to Audit the Blind Spots

Prompt:

Let GPT show you what you’ve ignored.

Then build it in.
