When KPIs Lie: Why Hitting Your Numbers Can Still Sink Your Business | Mike and Blaine

Send us Fan MailEvery dashboard tells you you’re winning — green lights, perfect metrics, record performance. But if the business still feels stuck, it might be because you’re chasing the wrong numbers. In this episode of Mike and Blaine, we tackle the myth of “magic KPIs” and why metrics can sometimes blind you instead of guide you. We share the real stories behind times we crushed every goal on paper but still almost crashed the business — and how we learned to separate meaningful results from vanity stats. Whether you’re a numbers nerd, a business owner, or just tired of chasing the scoreboard, this episode will help you focus on what truly drives progress (and profits).🎙️ Grab a cold one and tune in — because sometimes, hitting your numbers means missing the point.🍺 Visit mikeandblaine.com to buy us a beer and keep the conversation going!#businesspodcast #entrepreneurship #KPIs #smallbusiness #leadership #MikeAndBlaine #podcast #businessgrowth #beerandbusiness #mikeandblainepodcastFeatured Beer: @derivebeerMike: Neighbour Pat’s take on Ruddle’s County AleBlaine: Dérive “Froufrou Villain” NEIPAWatch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/F7vVmr7PwKkThanks to our Beer Sponsors: • Rachel Barnett from Gentle Frog: youtube.com/@GentleFrog • Karen Hairston from 3S Smart Consulting: 3ssmartconsulting.com• Larry Weinstein, the Cash Flow Cowboy in Houston Texas!• Neighbor PatListen to all our episodes at mikeandblaine.comcashflowmike.comdryrun.comSupport the showCatch more episodes, see our sponsors and get in touch at https://mikeandblaine.com/
