Can you believe it’s March already? Where did the first months of 2019 go? Now that we are heading into the last month of the first quarter of the new year, it’s time to review your first quarter business success.
You still have one month — March — to get back on track if you’re not where you want to be. You also still have time to celebrate successes and amp up your efforts so you can sail into the first quarter on a business upswing!
Review Your First Quarter Business Success
What can you do, right now, before the first week of March has passed to propel your business toward its first quarter goals? Here are a few things to consider and implement:
- Your business goal is to turn a profit. Don’t underprice products and services. You can’t and never want to compete on price. It’s a losing game.
- The terms of the deal are sometimes more important than price. Don’t accept any a you can’t ethically live with. Don’t accept a deal that devalues your business or crosses a line with your business mission and vision.
- Plan a cushion into all contracts because many deals take longer and cost more to implement than you’ve planned for.
- Persistence, perseverance and promotion = Keys to success.
- Do you need to course correct? Knowing what went “wrong” will help you do that. Make certain you write down wins, losses, lessons learned and any other items that will help you move forward with purpose.
