20 Business Boosting Tips for 2020
- DELEGATE! If you do one thing this year, let it be to delegate time sucking tasks that don’t align with your strengths.
- Discover your strengths. Take some time to analyze what you do best and then find ways to do more of exactly just that.
- Consider how people are first introduced to your business. Is it a pleasant experience? Is it a terrible experience? You really need to know.
- Build a better database. Your business intelligence is only as good as the data you input. Make this the year that your information actually makes sense.
- Freshen up your website. What is your call-to-action? Where are you funneling visitors? Does the site resolve properly on mobile?
- Focus on other people’s social media. Like, comment and engage with pages that align with your brand. We promise – this will be a win for you over time.
- Check that your business information is updated and correct across all possible platforms. Consistency counts for a lot when it comes to success.
- Network somewhere new. Get outside of your comfort zone even if it means traveling far away from home. New people = new opportunities.
- Reconsider your target audience. Has your business shifted and changed over the years? Your client base might have too. Do some profile development.
- Try out some new technology. Play with some new website plugins, calendar apps or maybe even an SEO booster. Have some fun!
- Set some goals. Make them daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly. Then find a family member, friend or business coach to hold you accountable.
- Record videos. Don’t focus on production value or how your hair looks. Connect with your audience and tell some stories. Your audience will grow.
- Once you get comfortable with recording videos, really step outside of your comfort zone and go LIVE! The adrenaline alone will transform your day.
- Take some time out to recognize and connect with your employees. One breakfast or lunch can give both parties a completely new perspective.
- FOLLOW UP. You work really hard to make a great impression and then to deliver a grand experience. Don’t end there! Always, always, always follow up.
- Inspect your spending. Take the time to personally check where every penny went over the last 90 days. I bet you discover some things you didn’t know.
- Invest in some professional graphic design. Don’t get me wrong, Canva is a great tool. But it is time you showed some brand love to your business?
- Your family and friends see you working hard and they support you all the way. Play hooky once in a while and invest some time into them. They need it.
- Self care is non negotiable. Sign up for a meditation class, hike with a group or get a pen pal. Do whatever it takes to give your brain some time off.
- Go make some mistakes! The only way to grow and thrive in business is to make a LOT of mistakes. This is the year that you are going to succeed!
