Promote you business – If you are a small business, you should have a resolution of incorporating a Social Media strategy, this should include regularly posting on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.  It is very easy to let this slip but consistency is the key.  Get up half an hour earlier and spend this time solely focusing on marketing.

Plan – Make a realistic business plan and stick to it, this can be a weekly or monthly plan where you can check and see that you are getting the jobs done.  You can then gauge to see what is working or not?

Learn new skills – This can incorporate learning and improving your Social Media skills.  Sign up to newsletters, attend webinars.

Set realistic goals – Aim to set out and complete realistic goals, these will be in line with your business plan.  Don’t aim too high as you will only be left disappointed, try to set mini goals on a monthly and quarterly basis.

Make sure your resolutions are implemented – Set aside a time, for instance a regular slot on a Friday afternoon, to run through the week.  Look at what has worked well and what needs improving, don’t be too hard on yourself, consistency is the key.

Happy New Year and hoping for continued success.
