What metrics matter?

How big your biceps are? Calories consumed? Number of reps? Time spent in the gym?

Likes? Dislikes? Shares? Comments? Subscribers? True fans?

Dollar per hour? Average rate of return? Conversions? How many people would recommend you to a friend?

Money in your bank account? Number of friends? The number of photos online of you doing fun things? Your ratings on Hotornot? How many qualifications and achievements you have on your CV?

The car you drive? The clothes you wear? The gross living area of your house? What you do on your weekends?

Who would miss you if you were gone?

Turns out there are a million adequate ways to track your progress.

What matters is recognizing if this thing you’re using to measure your success is actually (and accurately) helping you get what you want to begin with.
