ISSUE NO. 001 · JULY 6, 2026
Reader Question
How Do I Know If I’m Working on the Right Things?
Editorial Principal
Progress isn’t measured by the number of hours you work. It is measured by the value you create.
Running a business often requires long hours.
Depending on your industry, your season of business, or the goals you’re working toward, there will likely be times when evenings, weekends, and early mornings become part of the journey.
Long hours, however, are not always productive hours.
Before Beginning a Task, Ask Yourself
01 · OPERATIONS
Will this strengthen my business operations?
02 · FINANCIAL VALUE
Will this improve my business financially?
03 · EFFECTIVENESS
Is there a more effective or efficient way to accomplish the same outcome?
This Week’s Takeaway
Meaningful progress comes from improving the way your business operates, not simply increasing the number of hours you work.
From the Publisher
This week, choose one task that strengthens the foundation of your business. Small improvements to your systems, finances, or operations often create value long after the work itself is complete.
