And in Ellevated Outcomes&#8217; case, even though it closed on a high note (c\/o our marquee <a href=\"https:\/\/zudigitest.com\/ellevatedoutcomes\/client-appreciation-2025-strategy-of-experience-hospitality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Client Appreciation Event<\/a>), it was personally my least favorite quarter this year. Do you ever have those stretches of time where nothing goes according to plan, and you feel like there are (figurative, of course) bullets coming at you from every direction? It happens to all of us. But alas: there are usually silver linings to dig up, from beneath the mud. That&#8217;s why: even when I least feel like it, I stick to our Quarterly Business Review (QBR) habit. In fact, I believe that the QBR ritual can help you see silver linings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though QBR is an <em>Office Space<\/em>-esque acronym, I promise you that a great quarterly business review is anything but a TPS report ; ) Done well, it&#8217;s colorful, dynamic, and engaging. It\u2019s an opportunity to reflect on progress, celebrate wins, and continuously refine your vision and actions for the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re a solopreneur conducting a self-evaluation or a small business owner with a team, when you&#8217;re disciplined about measuring your organizational performance (and communicating it to those around you), you&#8217;re better able to see and feel the <em>progress within the process<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why a Quarterly Business Review Matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Measuring organizational performance every three months, allows you to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Celebrate accomplishments and build momentum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identify areas of improvement before they become larger issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Re-align on <a href=\"https:\/\/zudigitest.com\/ellevatedoutcomes\/how-to-design-your-annual-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">key priorities<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure your financial health is on track<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zudigitest.com\/ellevatedoutcomes\/emotional-leadership-mistakes-as-a-small-business-ceo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Evolve as a leader<\/a>, by reflecting on your growth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s a simple outline to guide your Quarterly Business Review. And I will preface this by saying: I\u2019m not as strict about these as I am Monthly 1-1s. QBRs are great, and I do believe that every business should do them, from solopreneur to Fortune 500 companies. BUT it&#8217;s totally okay to start small. If you do regular Annual Planning, step one is to simply add a QBR 6 months after that. Then, you can grow the frequency, bit by bit. In other words, if you skipped our Q1 prompt for this exercise, now is the perfect time to participate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Revisit Your Mission, Vision, and Values<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with re-grounding, in why your business exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zudigitest.com\/ellevatedoutcomes\/whats-the-difference-between-mission-and-vision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Mission:<\/strong><\/a> The core purpose of your business: What do you do? For whom? How?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zudigitest.com\/ellevatedoutcomes\/whats-the-difference-between-mission-and-vision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Vision<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong> The future you\u2019re working toward.

Celebrate Wins and Progress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before diving into challenges, take a moment to acknowledge successes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Key accomplishments<\/strong> from the past quarter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Milestones hit<\/strong> (sales goals, projects completed, new hires, partnerships, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Celebrations of individuals or projects<\/strong> who made a big impact<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Team Discussion or Personal Reflection<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>If you have employees, invite them to share a personal win, team win, or someone else on the team whose efforts they want to celebrate. Not only does this set a positive tone and foster a culture of appreciation; it\u2019s also an incredible way for everyone to get visibility into the invisible. As your business grows, you won&#8217;t be able to see everything (this is a good thing). So hearing others&#8217; observations are incredible intel.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Financial Results and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most important topic in measuring organizational performance is the business&#8217;s financial health. There&#8217;s no way around it. The point of business is to make money, and it&#8217;s nothing to apologize about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet I recognize: this one can be a little tricky and is often scary for someone with a team. It\u2019s important to do an honest assessment of your team\u2019s understanding of the finances and ensure you\u2019re sharing the right amount of information with the right amount of context. Remember: for humans, money isn&#8217;t logical; it&#8217;s emotional. People need to tie the big picture numbers to: <a href=\"https:\/\/zudigitest.com\/ellevatedoutcomes\/position-agreement-performance-objectives-for-employees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how does my job tie into this?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Revenue v.
