Today when I was surfing the New year messages, I read some notes related to the business era and the Conclusion is here.
Let’s start a New Year and old business with new goals and new strategies. Nothing is rocket science in any business, put your real effort, do your best and you will succeed.
As an Entrepreneur I always look forward to improving and advancing. It may be my Runs in Batting, wickets in bowling, more popularity on Google, more hits in the website, to spend less money or to spend more time with family and friends. For all the given points we fix a goal every year. Similar to every businessman and business, create your own goals for the whole year. These goals may create revolution in both the internal or external business world. For being revolutionary you should follow some points:
- As simple as I always say the secure key of success is CDE- Confidence, Dream and Effort. So don’t waste your time, think about your goals, be confident and put your real effort. I promise you’ll never fail.
- We should start from a small start. Analyze current service providers for opportunities, If we find any opportunities to support a small business instead, whether virtual or brick and mortar, aim to switch at least one vendor or supplier. Conclusion- We should adopt a small business mindset for our own business too.
- All the surveys says that most of the users are interacting via mobile, the online world has become an essential place for businesses to connect with their local community. Make sure your business has a local listing on the key search engines: Google Places, Bing maps, and Yahoo maps.
- Facebook, twitter and Google+ are the new ways to connect with the customers. As a small business owner you don’t have to excel in every new step.
- When you’re just starting out and the times are tough, it’s natural to tighten the purse strings. However, consider what you could gain by handing over certain tasks to contractors, virtual assistants or full-time employees. By relinquishing control of administrative tasks or company blog updates, you’ll free up time for what’s ultimately going to keep you in business: bringing in revenue.
- Protect your assets with an LLC or corporation and get your books ready for tax time early.
- We know Plumber recommends a carpenter or the web designer recommends a copywriter, business is driven by referrals and connections. In 2014, put some effort into networking by signing up for an industry conference or reaching out to a local meet-up group. By using these methods, a good relationship can be developed and you can share a word of advice with the fellow entrepreneurs and receive some.
- In the race to master new social media tools, don’t overlook your own website. After all, social media efforts like Twitter campaigns end up driving traffic somewhere, right? It doesn't make any sense to build a beautiful and savvy Facebook presence that funnels people to a boring, inaccurate, and out-of-date website. Keep it current and engaging!
- As an entrepreneur, remember that you’re solely responsible for your own motivation, productivity and well-being. There’s no boss to pat you on the back or give you a raise. It’s up to you to keep yourself motivated and inspired. In 2012 be sure to reward yourself for specific milestones like a big client win, meeting a tough deadline, or working "overtime" for multiple nights on end.
