454. The Metrics That Actually Matter in Your Coaching Business (2026 Edition)

Are you tracking everything in your business and still feeling unsure if you're actually moving in the right direction?

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down the metrics that actually matter in your coaching business—especially as you head into a new year and start setting goals. Yes, numbers like income, followers, and clients matter—but they don't tell the full story. Today, I'm walking you through the real indicators of growth, sustainability, and momentum so you can stop guessing and start leading your business like a CEO.
