Pass Me the Measuring Cup

If you haven't taken the time to at least think about what you should be measuring, you can not fully understand the extent of your success or failure.

Baking cookies, a cake, or a loaf of bread require specific ingredients.  It's all laid out in the recipe.  

As a leader, you own the recipe to your life.....to your business, ministry, marriage, college career, parenthood, etc.  You own it.  It belongs to you.  Even if you have to change the recipe up every now and then, it's okay.  Try new things and experiment until you get your desired result.  But above all things, make sure you measure.  

How do you measure?  Begin by documenting the steps you take and consider the following:

Did this process work?  If so, what worked well about how I did this?  What could have been better?  Where do I see opportunity for improvement? 

Don't overthink it.  Allow yourself to be creative.  Allow yourself to make mistakes.  

You are not allowed to quit.
