As business owners, we’re great at making personal New Year resolutions — eat better, exercise more, work less, stress less.
But how often do we apply that same thinking to the health of our businesses?
After more than 20 years helping business owners grow stronger, more profitable companies, I’ve learned this:
The businesses that plan early, perform better.
Reflect on last year’s performance with your team and identify improvements.
Know your numbers and act early to avoid pressure.
Update monthly using realistic assumptions.
Ensure you are getting best value and challenge creeping costs.
Make debt collection a priority.
Review it quarterly and adjust to market changes.
Free your time for strategic thinking.
Use appraisals to build performance and future capability.
Analyse last year’s data and build a smarter plan.
Check if your business is delivering the life you wanted.
Identify skill gaps and commit to learning.
No one succeeds alone. An independent business MOT could transform your year.
