Based on everything I have seen, this is the best way to systematically and accurately see if you are keeping on pace with your projections, outpacing them, or underperforming.
Why is it good to track your business success? Well, it let's you know where things need work as well as where you are strong. Some would say it is a good idea to make your weaknesses your strengths. Without tracking how you are doing on a monthly basis per various areas of your business activity, you won't have any idea of where to start.
