⚙Things Done Well⚙ Volume 28 - Reporting Shouldn't Suck! (Plus 80% deal inside!)


Hello Reader, ✨It's nerd-tastic party time!!✨

But, first things first:

  1. Keep talking about Gaza. Don't stop. If you are in the US here are some good ways to help. If you are in Canada this site has a bunch of ways to help.
  2. Listen to this song by French-Cameroonian artist Yamê.. It's so good. I know all the words even though I don't speak any French at all! Found this artist (and many others!) on The Colors Show. It's a great source for new and dope as hell international music if you are looking!
  3. Grab this bundle of Unicorn Mojo goodness! My colleague at Unicorn Mojo has created a HUGE community in her Sparkelverse Membership and is AMAZING at pulling together bundles of courses and toolkits for their membership! AND I have joined the fun on this next round: Abundant Living: The Wealth Wisdom Collection - tonnes of great stuff for ONLY $9 (Including something at an 80% discount from yours truly!!) More below.

I'm just going to dive right in on this one! The secret to making reporting suck less is simple…

Stop. Using. Spreadsheets!

I know it sounds wild, but hear me out.

Here's why spreadsheets are the worst sidekick for your business:

  1. They’re Error Factories: Spreadsheets are like that friend who never follows the rules—fun at parties, but a nightmare when you need to get things done. With no safeguards to keep your data in check, mistakes are lurking in every cell. Did you know nearly 88% of spreadsheets have errors? That’s like 88% too many!
  2. Source of Confusion: Ever play a game of telephone? That’s what your data is doing in a spreadsheet. Who knows where those numbers came from, or if they’re even accurate? When it comes to making big financial decisions, you’re basically rolling the dice.
  3. Historical Data? More Like Historical Nightmare: Trying to pull together reports from a bunch of different spreadsheets feels to me what Hell must be like. IF you can even find anything close to what you need, there are going to be 15 different versions of the file and the most recent one will have been saved over with new project details!
  4. Manual Data Entry: The Soul Crusher: Let’s be real—nobody went to school dreaming of a career in manual data entry. It’s boring, it’s tedious, and it’s a waste of your brainpower. Save yourself (and your team) from this mind-numbing task and let the robots take over this task!

What’s the Solution?

Spoiler alert: You don’t need spreadsheets because there are so many better options out there!

Your business tools should do the heavy lifting for you, including reporting. If they don’t, it’s time for an upgrade. Here a few examples that come to mind:

  • Budgeting: This should be something you use your accounting software for!! Either by doing your budgeting directly within it or by using an export from your accounting software as the foundation of your budget! Yes, an export would still be a spreadsheet but AT LEAST you will be able to actually trust your numbers, and NOT spend so much time creating a budget from expense codes that don't match your project or reporting needs! If your accountant is not doing this for you get them to start and if they start grumbling, remind them who’s boss and/or get a new one!
  • Inventory Management: Get a POS system that tracks inventory for you! From Purchase Order to customer purchases, this is what the robots should be doing for you. This one is a no brainer. Not only will it save you hours of frustration, but it might also save your sanity. Trust me, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
  • Data Collection: Let’s make your stakeholders do the work for you! Leverage online forms that integrate with your CRM and watch as the data magically organizes itself. No more late nights spent deciphering your incoherent notes for your annual report!

In all these cases, reporting should be as easy as pushing a button.

Your software should handle the robot stuff so you have more time to do the human stuff!

Annnnnd Guess What?! You can get over 80% Off Stop Using Spreadsheets when you grab the Unicorn Magic Bundle I mentioned at the top of this message! There are soooo many goodies included AND it is only $9!!!!

Until next time, stay nerdy and fantastic (and maybe even get your Unicorn Mojo on by grabbing this screaming deal!!)
