    Suggestion for really tough founders: instead of graphing revenue, graph growth rate thereof. Now you're fighting for flat.

        @paulg Suggestion for really weak founders: graph cumulative revenue. Now you're getting flat for free.

        @matthew_w You'd be surprised how many founders actually do use cumulative graphs.

        @paulg I must be tough as that is all I've been tracking. Didn't know any other metric that really mattered.
