We’ve already almost completed the first month of 2019! How can that be? If you’re like me, you are in the midst of new projects, but have you taken the time to set up business resolutions for the new year? They don’t have to be big, sweeping changes, but they should be items you’re committed to achieving in the new year.
Before you look at business resolutions, take some time and make note of all of the successes you’ve achieved and those items you didn’t quite achieve. Look at items you want to continue on with and those you want to jettison.
Business Resolutions For The New Year
- Resolve to keep learning. No matter where you are in your business, you can always learn more. What classes can you take? What books can you read to keep you up to date on the latest trends? What can you do next month to learn something new?
- Resolve to keep your priorities straight. What means the most to you? Which aspects of your business run on auto pilot? Which of your clients are priorities? Trick question… they all are!? Set priorities for spending time with friends and family and with your work.
- Resolve to better use technology. If you have shied away from upgrading and updating hardware and software in your office and are losing valuable time because of system outages or broken down equipment, resolve to rid yourself of that issue.
- Resolve to stay in touch with clients. It is easy to let the days get away from you and before you know it, it’s been months and you haven’t reached out to your clients. Put them on your calendar and reach out regularly.
- Resolve to give back. Volunteer in your community. Find an organization you love and offer your time and talents. This goes along with #2 and setting priorities.
