How do you know if your business was successful in 2012? As a small business owner I share the pain with juggling the large number of hats we have to wear, particularly if some of these hats feel uncomfortable because they represent areas that we lack either experience, expertise or we just hate doing them.
I believe its important for small business owners at least once a year to take time out to think strategically, to create a company vision for the next year with clear goals so you can be effective when you act tactically. Plan the year ahead, set priorities, allocate a budget, even if its very small one and then use this information as a plan to keep you focused and avoid becoming distracted. It is amazing how many businesses forget to include any success metrics and measure the ROI (return on investment) within the plan.
