► Embrace your expertise. Try to assess your strengths and weaknesses so you’ll know where to plant yourself in. Be the best in that area but also open to new learnings
► Keep the big vision in sight. Having your vision in sight gives you something to go back to if things seem to take a different route. Besides, your vision is what keeps you going. As Matthew Toren put it, “your vision is your foundation, compass and celestial beacon, lighting the way forward.
► Drive your vision with perseverance. Perseverance is what you need to drive toward your vision. Your self-commitment to move forward brings resolve and firmness of purpose that are both beneficial in growing your business.
► Be proactive. Being proactive gives your business a lot of advantages when welcoming business opportunities and dealing with problems.
► Work smarter. Working smart comes down to finding the most efficient and effective way to reach, or even surpass, business goals and objectives—not looking and feeling busy. You must define your work style so you can find ways to work smarter.
► Take good notes and welcome every idea. With so many free note-taking tools and apps available today, there’s really no excuse to fall through the cracks. Thus, maximize tools like Evernote, Paper, and Simplenote, among others, to help you keep key business details and ideas worth saving.
► Resolve small issues right away. Small issues often develop into bigger problems, which can lead to a major setback on your business or even hamper the operations. Resolving small issues right away will save you time and money in the long run.
► Review your existing marketing strategy. Find the time to analyze what has happened in the previous year or months to find out which marketing strategies are still effective. Doing this will let you know which areas to improve on.
► Maximize the power of social media’s advertising tools. Social media platforms have powerful advertising tools. You can choose your audience, tailor your ads to your target market, and choose where and when you want to run them.
