The Dashboard That Forces Clarity
Priestley opens with a visual challenge: put a poster on your wall that tracks four numbers every single week. LAPS—leads, appointments, presentations, sales—becomes the lens through which every business idea must pass. He wants you to see the funnel in real time, not buried in a spreadsheet. The second move is discipline: no new ideas unless they improve one of those four conversions. It sounds obvious until you realize most entrepreneurs chase shiny tactics that have no traceable link to revenue. Priestley's rule forces you to ask, "Will this generate more leads, book more appointments, sharpen our pitch, or close more deals?" If the answer is no, the idea doesn't make the cut. This twin system—visible metrics plus idea filtration—turns chaos into a repeatable process. You stop guessing what works and start engineering improvement at each stage of the funnel.
