Ok, folks – we’re one-month into 2014 and it’s time to double check and make sure we’ve started the New Year on the right foot. If you haven’t already, it’s the perfect time to take a closer look at just how efficiently we’re running our businesses and where we can make a few small adjustments. Take a look at my 6 tips for getting your business on the right foot in 2014.
6 Tips to Get Your Business on the Right Foot in 2014
1. Figure out some time-saving techniques. We live in such a tech driven world, there’s probably an app that can solve half your issues with wasted time.
2. Face the tough stuff. If there are challenging conversations you need to have or touchy issues that need resolution – it’s time to nip it once and for all.
3. Find the perfect balance. Maybe for you, balance isn’t quite the right word – get work and life under control – and if that means blending the two, go for it!
4. Public speaking got you a little tongue-tied? Get that under control with an improv acting class or get yourself out there at as many networking events as possible. The more you deal with it, the easier it will get.
5. Face the challenges head on. If you’ve been avoiding certain aspects of the business, it’s time to face the issues and define solutions.
6. Help others connect the dots. Giving back a little bit will go a long way for building a solid brand with a respected name. If you can help someone network, go for it!
What do you think? Will some of these tips help you get your business back on track for 2014?
