10 New Year’s Resolutions for Success in Your Business

Beginning a new year is a time to reflect on the progress your business has made in the previous year and the direction in which you wish your business to develop in the upcoming months. CEO Business Centers is providing 10 New Year’s Resolutions that are designed to enable your business to have a successful New Year.

1. Learn How to Delegate (Often)

Being a business owner can be very hectic, especially if you feel obligated to oversee everything and micro manage all projects from your executive offices. To maintain a balanced schedule and therefore improved emotional health, assign trusted employees to manage some of the tasks/projects. Delegation is essential to a healthy work-life balance.

2. Frequently and Consistently Promote your Business

Promoting a business is a task that can be overshadowed by seemingly more important priorities. However, to not practice this, you may lose out on new clients and increased revenues. One goal during the upcoming months could be to hire a marketing expert who create a marketing plan that can help your business to grow and increase profits.

3. Business Planning Should be a Weekly Event

Business planning is a great way to review what has worked for your business along with what hasn’t. Use that data to develop new business strategies to implement in the coming year. As opposed to annual or bi-annual meetings, weekly planning can help you avoid costly mistakes, encourage you to stay focused and motivate employees.

4. Learn Something New

Consider taking a continuing education class, either online or at a local university or community college. There are numerous marketing, advertising and other business-related courses you can enroll in that will be beneficial to running your own company.

5. Partake in a New Business Organization or Networking Group

Talking to other business professionals, such as yourself, is a great way to spark potential, new ideas for your business along with modifying old ones and developing contracts. Making the effort to participate in groups like these will revitalize your business and yourself.

6. Give Back to Your Community

Any community is full of opportunities to give back and make a difference. Make another resolution to find a cause that’s special to you and volunteer your time to improve your community. Another idea is to invite your staff along to bond while also creating a stronger sense of teamwork. A business that works well together succeeds together.

7. Put “You Time” on Your Calendar

“You Time” is the perfect way to unwind and step back from the office. This time will help you recharge and refresh yourself to then productively continue on with the workday. It’s important to invest time in yourself, so that others may invest in your business.

8. Set Realistic Goals

Goal setting is a habit that is most encouraged, especially those that are geared toward success. However, when setting goals ensure that they are achievable and realistic.

9. Upgrade to New

Offices are full of many pieces of equipment, such as computers, fax machines, printers and copiers. Consider forgoing older pieces in order to upgrade to new equipment that will ensure a smooth operation and improve employee efficiency.

10. Know When to Let Go

In the business world, nothing is guaranteed. Sometimes we have to fail in order to succeed. As every business owner knows, not all products are going to sell, not all sales methods will work and not every contractors will be well suited for becoming a part of your business. If something is negatively impacting your company, you must be prepared to let it go to give you and your business a chance to succeed.
