It’s easy to get overwhelmed as an entrepreneur, but there are seven things that you have to pencil in every single week.

Monitor your key metrics. At my company, CakeStyle, we’ve created a dashboard (lovingly dubbed “Real Talk”) so we can quickly get a snapshot of the metrics that matter most to our business and how they are trending: daily sales, margins, site traffic, orders from new clients, repeat rates of existing clients, average transaction amounts and inventory levels, for example. Watching closely allows you to detect negative trends early and intervene before they create a major issue.
