Most KPI dashboard templates are built for one company with a team. When you run several small businesses alone, you need something simpler: one row per business, four columns, updated once a week. Here's the layout behind Linkedd LLC's seven businesses.
Why most KPI dashboards don't fit a solo operator
Ten charts per company times seven companies is seventy charts nobody updates. A one-row-per-business view gets updated.
The four columns
Status; the next action; money in and out this week; what's blocked.
How to update it in 15 minutes on Monday
Fill one row per business, then decide which business gets your hours this week and which one waits.
Pair it with a what-broke log
When something breaks, write what broke, what it cost, the fix, and how to stop it happening again.
Get the full system
Portfolio Operator OS ($39 once, or free with an annual membership) includes the portfolio dashboard, weekly attention plan, what-broke log and launch checklist. Works in Google Sheets or Excel, with printable PDFs. It's an operating system, not a get-rich plan.
