So as we begin this module about, business metric tracking, let's first talk about why this is important. The fact that you're watching this, you probably already know why, and I congratulate you on being above average in caring about, professional development, shall I say, because you can't systematically improve what you don't measure. You can get lucky sometimes and play and improve something. But as as anyone who's ever tried to learn a musical instrument, Right? You could play around.

Or or musical instruments, sports, any craft. Like, to to actually get better at something, you have to measure whether or not you are improving or whether you're actually degrading. And the the thing about just working and playing in your work, in your business is that sometimes you're actually going backwards, and you don't even realize it until you start measuring what's happening. So when you start measuring it, that there's there's a magic to this. Right?

Like, just by starting to measure something, you naturally have a consciousness to improve it or at least to not let it slip backwards because no one likes to see that number. What if if you're trying to increase a number, you don't want it to go backwards. If you're trying to decrease the number, you want it you wanna see it go up. So simply, if we take one thing away from this module, if you simply begin to measure some number and the number can be even for qualitative things. How about happiness?
