Taking an honest assessment of your business helps you to see what improvements you can make.

  • For goals achieved: celebrate and acknowledge those that you’ve met. Take note of what worked, to have a better idea of what you’ll continue for the New Year.
  • For goals not achieved: analyze and understand what needs to be done or what to avoid next year.

Find for ways to cut costs, no matter how successful your business had been.  Take advantage of special deals that you can grab. Be on the look-out for post-Christmas sales, deals, or discounts that would be relevant for your business. For instance, purchase a new printer or a file cabinet when those items are on sale.

Don’t allow negative thoughts consume your mind. Despite market or economic uncertainty, or failed business projects, remain optimistic that the New Year will be fruitful for your business. Focus on the new opportunities and success that you will be experiencing.

List everything you need to tackle, your plans, and even your vacation schedule for 2015. Determine what you are going to do and what support you’ll need. If you want to target a new market or expand your business, then write it down in your “What’s New” plan.
