Charles Todd 2009-10-15T17:39:04Z 2009-10-15T20:39:21Z <p>What are some of the key performance indicators that you all are using for your small business? I've got a small boutique shop, and since there hasn't been much growth in the last couple of years, is it that i'm measuring the wrong things or that my business is just about the size i should keep it. Truth is though, I'm not sure I want to grow too much more, it'd mean hiring more staff and pushing me over my current staff of 5. I can manage 6, more than 6 and I think it just becomes too much trouble.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Charles</p>
