"If you can't measure it, you can't manage it." Ral explains how tracking the right business metrics - especially the bottom line, not just revenue - transformed her approach to entrepreneurship.

Some product managers become bottlenecks because they want to control all decisions and information. For others, company culture creates bottlenecks.

Most founders treat their LinkedIn like a sacred diary that only they can touch. Meanwhile, others in their space delegate everything and watch their networks explode. You won't hit your business goals posting once a month when inspiration strikes. But you don't have time to become an influencer. You have a company to run. The difference between LinkedIn success and LinkedIn stagnation often comes down to one decision: whether you're willing to let someone else help you show up.

Reactive mode is where strategic thinking goes to die. In my time as the founder of ButterflyMX, I've learned that the longer you operate like this, the more you become a bottleneck, not a builder.
