Episode 830: How to Audit Your Business - The Only Numbers You MUST Be Tracking

Author: James Wedmore June 1, 2026 Duration: 43:19

Most entrepreneurs are out here making decisions based on a story their brain made up. And I get it, because I used to do the same thing! But after 19 years and over $100 million in online sales, I know one thing for certain, and it's that your feelings about how a campaign performed and what actually happened are almost never the same thing.

Today, I'm getting into one of my absolute favorite topics, the language of numbers. We're talking EPL, conversion rates, landing page performance, and the one metric I've been obsessing over for a decade that makes scaling feel less like gambling and more like simple math.

This isn't really about numbers at all though. It's about getting out of the emotional roller coaster of business and into the driver's seat. When you know what's actually going on under the hood, the fear goes away, the clarity shows up, and you finally know exactly what to fix and what to leave alone.

If you've ever walked away from a campaign not knowing whether it was good or bad, this is one you're going to want to tune into!

  • The quiet confidence killer hiding inside every entrepreneur who thinks they finally "know" their audience

  • What a glass of wine and a robot noise taught me about everything I thought I knew about marketing 

  • Why the people scrolling Instagram for business education are playing a game that was never designed for them to win

  • The uncomfortable pattern I keep seeing in this industry that nobody wants to say out loud

  • The one number I've been tracking for over 10 years that makes the fear of running ads completely disappear

There's a common thread running through the stories of many entrepreneurs who feel stuck despite all their effort, a sense that the relentless hustle isn't yielding the results they envisioned. The Mind Your Business Podcast, hosted by seven-figure entrepreneur James Wedmore, digs into that very gap between effort and outcome. James operates from a conviction that lasting success is less about copying another person's tactics and more about cultivating the right internal foundations. He argues that mindset ultimately trumps strategy, that there's an essential magic beyond mere metrics, and that your core attitude dictates the effectiveness of your actions. Each episode serves as a practical dialogue aimed at untangling the complex web of entrepreneurial psychology, moving beyond superficial tips to explore how mental frameworks directly influence business decisions and growth. You'll hear candid reflections on shifting from scarcity to abundance, the role of intuition in data-driven environments, and how to lead with clarity instead of fear. This isn't about discarding hard work, but about aligning it with a purposeful and resilient perspective. For anyone building a venture, this podcast provides a necessary counterbalance to the conventional grind narrative, offering a space to reconsider what truly drives a sustainable and fulfilling business life. Tune in for conversations that reorient your focus from just managing a business to thoughtfully minding it.
