Key Performance Indicators

There are X and Y axes for a successful career. The x-axis is time and the y-axis is what you choose to measure, usually profit (business) or income (individual).

There are also X and Y axes for a fulfilling life. The x-axis is time and the Y-axis is both trust with people you care about and fulfillment of your life’s purpose or mission.

There is a third consideration that must be made. As time goes on, is the side effect of our success a more sustained planet or is the net impact on our world negative?

The next time you go to measure your key performance indicators and whether you had a good month or a good year in business or in life, consider the net impact of your profit on your people, your purpose, and our planet.
