4 Business Tips to Kick-Start the New Year

Was 2023 a year created by design or by default? 

It’s very easy for us high-achievers to get caught up in the hope and possibilities that a new year brings. We hit the ground running in January with enthusiasm, new ideas and dreams for a stellar year. 

Did you feel like that at the beginning of last year too? I sure did.

I believe in business growth by design, not by default. 

We don’t have to tolerate or settle for anything. We get to choose! And those choices create our reality.

Here are 4 tips to kick-start the year ahead:

 

  1. DECLARE YOUR BIG MISSION OR MOVEMENT

What mission or movement are you creating in the world? – Think big and Declare it.

 

  1. BE SINGLE MINDED WITH YOUR FOCUS

What is the ONE thing, theme or focus for the upcoming year that will enable you to make purposeful decisions about how to spend your time, energy, money and resources? – Clarify your core focus.

 

  1. DON’T BURY YOURSELF UNDER THE WEIGHT OF YOUR YESES

What are you taking with you this year that aligns with your core focus — and what are you leaving behind that isn’t? – Purge and prune.

 

  1. IDENTIFY RESOURCES TO NAVIGATE OBSTACLES

What obstacles are in your way inside of what you’re committed to this year? What resources do you already have (or need to get) to navigate the inevitable obstacles that come with business growth?  – Identify and ask for help.
