How to Commit to Improving Your Business in 6 Steps
It’s time to think about how your going to improve your business life. But, even more than that… it’s time to commit to improving your business life.
Do you have a list of resolutions you made not that long ago? And now you find that you’re not keeping the goals you’ve outlined for yourself or your business? Throw out those resolutions. They’ve gotten you literally NOWHERE.
Following these actions and embracing your new found commitment to business improvement will take you where you want to go. So let’s get started!
1. Keep Learning
If you’re not actively learning on a regular (aka weekly) basis, you’re not growing. So how can your business be growing if you’re not embracing continuous learning? There are many ways to keep in-the-know and ensure your brain is chugging along nicely. Here are just a few:
Read an industry magazine, journal, or blog
Attend webinars
Take seminars
Read books
Have you figured out why the first commitment on this list is to keep learning? It’s because your brain is literally your most important asset! We want you to make sure you’re always building it up.
2. Keep On Top of Your Priorities
It’s super easy to be a busy little bee. But, what do you gain by being busy without being productive? Here’s how to make sure you’re keeping in top of your priorities instead of bogged down by all the busy work. Make a short list of a few items that will literally make the difference between succeeding and failing. Then focus your energy on these game changers! It’s really important to your success not to let the daily grind be your downfall.
#3. Keep In Touch with Former Clients
You may be wondering why and how this commitment will improve your business. It’s because your former clients are your best resource for new business! Maintaining the relationship you’ve already spent valuable time and energy building with previous customers with 2 to 3 informal touch points a year can have a big impact for your business.
4. Back Up Your Data
We can’t stress enough how in this day and age, data backups are an absolute necessity. No, not once a month… once a day! Don’t risk losing important client or vendor info. when this commitment is so very easy to make to yourself and your business.
5. Hire More Help
This commitment may seem a little scary, but the truth is you can’t do it all. The sooner you come to this realization, the quicker you’ll be on the path to success.
There’s only so much time in the day, and so much energy you have to give. Your time and energy, without a doubt, have to be focused on growing your business! Remember that previous commitment, “Keep On Top of Your Priorities?” This is one way you can make game changing plays for your business, and it doesn’t have to be a full-time (or even part-time) employee.

Bonus Tip: Help Others
It’s super easy to stay focused on our bottom line, but putting forth a little effort and focus on others brings a wealth to the world that just makes everything better. So make a commitment to aim even higher than your bottom line this year, by making the world a better place. Give others an opportunity, share, collaborate, and lend a hand when you can.
Following and committing to these 6 steps are a sure fire way to spark up the momentum your business needs. Here’s to a productive and prosperous year for all of us!
