Best Practice: Use KPIs to Track What Matters Most
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are measurable values that show how effectively a project or business is achieving key objectives. They help you track progress, make better decisions, and stay accountable to your goals.
If you don’t understand the key success factors of your goal, business, or project, you risk heading down the wrong path — wasting time, resources, missing your target, or even failing.
🎯 Best Practices for KPIs in Micro-Enterprises
Less is More: Micro-enterprises succeed when they track fewer but more impactful KPIs. One well-chosen KPI can drive stronger outcomes than a list of ten.
Team Buy-In: Even if it’s just you and a partner, make sure everyone understands the KPI and works toward it.
Celebrate Milestones: Use KPIs to mark achievements and celebrate progress — this builds morale and momentum.
✅ Why KPIs Matter for Entrepreneurs

Drives Decisions
With clear metrics, you can pivot or improve your project based on real-time performance.

Whether you're working solo or with a small team, KPIs keep everyone aligned and responsible.
