I'm going to try something new this year. Instead of resolving to eat better or to go the gym more, I'm focusing my 2016 resolutions on my business. I have most of the health-related issues under control, so I'm going to resolve to do a few things that will improve the health of my business and make my customers and prospects happier. If my customers and prospects are happy, I'm happy. So here are my 2016 inbound marketing and sales resolutions.
Time is a commodity that is absolutely limited. There are only 24 hours in a day. I don't want to waste time - neither my time nor my prospects' and customers' time. Here are a few things I will do stop wasting time for everyone.
They are truly the lifeblood of any business. By being judicious about how I spend the rest of my time, I will ensure that I always have time for my customers.
As a business owner, I need to focus my time on sales, strategy and client management. In the past, that hasn't stopped me from trying to be a graphic designer, web developer or an accounting expert (I'm none of those!) I have great people that do all of those things and I trust them to do a way better job than I can. I can rest assured that I have those areas covered because of my incredible partnters.
You didn't think I'd list my New Years resolutions without having at least one touchy-feely one, did you? It's Christmas time, for crying out loud!
One of the big dangers we all face both professionally and personally is tunnel-vision - the inability to understand that other people may see things a bit differently than you do. I resolve to not only listen to other's opinions and perspectives, but to actively seek them out.
I have a lot to be grateful for. I'm not going to wait for next Thanksgiving to show my gratitude. I resolve to be thankful (and show it) every day, regardless of how well that particular day is going.
