A speaker (Kardec Trader) describes how tracking measurable progress—whether in fitness (weights, max bench) or business (expenses, revenue, customer acquisition cost)—drives motivation and improvement. The speaker explains that observing numbers and trends makes them more focused and 'obsessed' with optimizing results.
How'd you figure out about this journaling thing? I'm very big on, like, tracking things. Like, even if I go to the gym, okay, I weight this much. This is my max bench. This is my max. This. I want to see improvement for me, subconsciously. When I also see improvement in something and I see how things are going, it makes me more driven towards it. Same thing with the business. If you have a business, how do you start tracking your business expenses, your revenue, your cost of customers, etc. Etc. Etc. And once you go down that rabbit hole, you get more obsessed with the numbers.
