Summary

Do spreadsheets, KPIs and dashboards make your head spin? If the answer is yes, then you’re not alone. Fortunately, our guest on this episode of our High Performing Women series is able to take the scariest looking facts and figures and turn them into stories that any entrepreneur can understand.

Layne Booth is the Chief Profit Hunter at The Project Booth: A growth and opportunity agent for small business owners that are passionate about their product or service, but are getting sucked into daily operations versus executing their vision.

Layne has over a decade of experience in manufacturing, supply chain, and sales and marketing companies and has spent significant time in the trenches, learning best practices in both process management and operations excellence.

She’s been able to transition from a lucrative corporate position to a full-time entrepreneur and is the perfect person to learn from if you’re contemplating a similar move.

Interested in finding out how she did it? And what data you should be tracking to help your business grow? Then listen in.

In this episode, we discuss:

How Layne knew what it was time to leave her corporate career behind
How to plan your transition into an entrepreneurial journey
The things we should all track in our own businesses
