This episode of Kaizen Time gives small business owners actionable financial advice on how to track and use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to improve productivity and profitability.

The discussion breaks down how measuring productivity, costs, revenue, and profit reveals the true health of your business—and why owners must focus on working on their business through data-driven decisions rather than getting lost in daily operations.
