How to Measure Your Business Success and Avoid the "Hot Mess Express"

Tara Newman Episode 288

How do you know if you're successful? How do you know if your business is successful? I had this funny moment the other week when I told my local business community to stop sending me referrals of businesses that are riding the Hot Mess Express.

There were about 30 of us there, and we had a really good chuckle, but since then, I've had people coming up to me saying that they think they're a hot mess when they actually aren't who I was referring to. I had this moment where I was like, “Wow, people's perception of themselves is really off.”

It was interesting because there were a number of seasoned business owners who I see as a benchmark of success, who came up to me after that hot mess express comment, and said that they felt like they were a hot mess.

Keeping a small business afloat is no easy feat. It's a rollercoaster ride filled with uncertainty, discomfort, and the constant need to embrace the unknown. As small business owners, we often find ourselves craving timelines and deadlines, desperate for a roadmap to guide us through the tumultuous seas of entrepreneurship.

In the last six months, my own business has witnessed significant changes. I made the tough decision to close a group program that had been a cornerstone of my business's success over the past five years. This episode will provide insight into the timeline of these changes and how they reflect a real-life pivot in a small business.
