Example	of	a	live	financial	metrics	spreadsheet

The	truth	is	that	running	a	business	is	never	black	and	white.	How	do	you	know
when	 you	 are	 onto	 something	 or	 when	 you	 should	 give	 up?	 This	 is	 one	 of	 the
most	 common	 questions	 I	 get	 asked.	 Unfortunately	 I	 can	 never	 really	 answer.
You	 need	 to	 use	 your	 own	 judgment	 to	 determine	 if	 you	 feel	 like	 you	 are	 onto
something	that	will	meet	your	expectations.

Focus	on	what	your	paying	customers	are	saying	and	how	many	people	continue
to	pay	you,	and	you	can’t	go	too	far	wrong.

Day	6	Task	-	Create	a	spreadsheet	that	covers	the	first	few	months	in	business,
the	number	of	 signups,	revenue,	estimated	costs,	and	monthly	growth.	You	can
use	the	template	provided	at	wpcurve.com/7daystartup	to	get	started.
