They encourage listeners to evaluate their personal well-being and business goals for the year ahead. They also share a free checklist available on their website for a comprehensive end-of-year review.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE:
- Take a deep dive into your financials: Review profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and forecast future business performance. Schedule a meeting with your accountant for a thorough analysis of your business's financial health.
- Review suppliers and subscriptions: Assess all subscriptions and suppliers to identify unnecessary costs and potential savings. Negotiate better deals or consider switching to more cost-effective options. Don't forget to review loans and interest rates with your bank.
- Conduct risk assessments of your software: In an age of cyber attacks, prioritize data protection and implement measures like two-step verification. Consider cyber insurance and consult with an insurance broker for comprehensive coverage.
- Reflect on last year's goals: Evaluate whether you achieved your goals and identify the reasons behind successes or failures. Learn from past experiences and adapt your strategies for the year ahead. Focus on increasing both revenue and profit.
- Plan for the year ahead: Set new goals for your business, taking into account recent growth and changes. Consider staffing needs, process improvements, and any necessary adaptations to seize opportunities and drive success.
