Business Resolutions

New Year’s is here. And along with it, has come the time for making resolu-tions. Not breaking them just as yet. These days, there is usually a rather lengthy list of things which are on our high-priority to-do lists. Thus, one finds that we can actually sit and categorise our resolutions as well. Take business resolutions, for that matter. What all one can do to improve our work and our businesses. No doubt, this will be a very long roll call.

Take work delegation. What most of us wish to do is to do all the work by ourselves. The time for a wake-up call for this has come. Try to delegate as much as is possible. Learn the positives of your team and all those who work with you. Give them the work which they will excel at. Along with this, intersperse with the work which they can get better at. Do not try to do everything yourself. After all, the big question is, what is the team there for if everything has to be sorted out by the head honcho himself or herself?

Plan ahead, everyday………..

The next big point on the agenda is to sit and make a daily plan of what it is that should be done today. Have this ready each morning, preferably even the night before. Once you have in front of you what all is the agenda for the day, everything literally falls into place. One by one, you can go on tackling activities in their order of importance.

It is also essential to have healthy and goal-achieving promotion activities be conducted for your business on a regular basis. This is a most essential task to do. Talk about your work within and even outside your circle. Make sure that you get the exposure that is required. For this, try to organize events, seminars and workshops to keep the interest in your business alive and kicking. Done on a consistent level, eventually it will lead to good publicity about your work and all to do with it.

Organise. Organise. Organise.

Make business planning not just an everyday but a weekly activity as well. Micro-planning as a daily routine is good. But planning when it comes to growth of business in a critical manner on a weekly and even monthly manner, too, is sorting out your work in a very proper fashion. In this way, surprises are few and far in between. And you are ready to face the music whenever it comes.
