Improve Your Business Now

fly4214Now that April is here there is a new energy and excitement in the air.  Can you feel it?  It’s the month for change.  It brings Easter, with its remembrance of renewal and re-invention.  In many parts of the world, it’s time for spring vacations and a respite from doing business or school for at least a couple of weeks.

It is also the end of the first quarter of the year.  Those of us who are in business use April as the time to pay taxes and reflect on our 2013 business success and/or disappointments.

It is also time to look at where we are in both our business and the business of our lives.  With the first quarter of the year behind us, we can forecast where we will be at the end of 2014.  April can give us the time to review where we are and make decisions about adjustments to make to both our businesses and our lives.

Are you dreading making a first quarter review?  I can get it.  Often the facts we face are not those we thought we wanted.  I urge you not to be scared.  Use this time to re-invent, re-new, and start something new.  Failure is not an option since all it does is point us to a new direction.  It is with this review that you can make the changes needed to have a successful year end.  The review will give you a blue print from where to go next with your business.

If you are reading this and think, well, I am not in business, then substitute the word “business” with the word “life”.  It’s really not much of stretch to realize that our lives are our business.

Here are some questions that will give you insight about the state of your business.

Is your business standing up to its stated purpose, vision, and mission?

Is your business meeting its sales forecast?

Is your team clear about the results you want to achieve?

Are your products or services excellent and wowing your clients?  If not, what has to change?  By when?

Are your clients satisfied with your services?  How do you know if they are?

If you look at the questions and discover what is missing, then add the missing pieces.

I look forward to hearing from you about the results from your first quarter review.  As always, I am here for you and am your biggest fan.
