As a New Year dawns, the opportunity arises to assess your business and decide how you can maximise performance over the next twelve to eighteen months. Planning for growth is a vital part of good business management and the easiest way to approach it is by visualising what it is you want to achieve.

Start by identifying the goals you want to realise, for example:

• Two new contracts per quarter
• 10% growth each year
• A new laptop in March
• Administrative support
• More time to spend with the family

Your goals do not have to be centred entirely on the business. You can include personal goals, including treats for you and your family. Conversely, you may wish to reduce your stress levels by paying down outstanding loans and bringing your finances in order.

Once you have identified what it is you want to achieve, you can start creating a plan of action that will help you to realise your goals. Allow yourself enough time to manage them appropriately and adopt a step-by-step approach that will enable you to work through each task competently and thoroughly.

The aim here is to create goals that will make your life easier and happier whilst growing a successful business. You mustn’t start to resent your work, and this can happen when life seems to be running a 100mph! Write down all your goals and put them somewhere you can see them daily and be inspired to act on them daily, taking you a step closer to achievement and success. It will help you to focus on the bigger picture, rather than getting caught up in the day-to-day.
