Document And Map Out Your Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Focusing on what you want to achieve, documenting it and then setting up an annual, quarterly and monthly plan to achieve those goals is a great way to get your year started. It allows you to know what you are working towards for the entire year and what is most important, while also providing a way to track progress throughout the year. Share your plan with others too for accountability. &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mti_inc_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/mti_inc_\">Monica Thakrar<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.monicathakrar.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:http:\/\/www.monicathakrar.com\/\">MTI<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>2. Define Your Potential \u2018Big Wins\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While the top of the year is an inherent time to start fresh, that doesn\u2019t mean your goals will be set for you. Take time to define the big wins for your organization in the new year. This could be making a key hire, landing a contract worth a certain amount or setting the desired culture within your team \u2014 it doesn\u2019t matter! What matters is setting your sights on wins from the beginning! &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joeyvpricehr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/joeyvpricehr\">Joey Price<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jumpstart-hr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:http:\/\/www.jumpstart-hr.com\/\">Jumpstart:HR<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>3. Ask Your Staff About Their Needs And Priorities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It is important to ask your internal customers \u2014 your staff and yourself \u2014 what they need and what is a priority for them for the year. Our priorities shift over time, so it is important to check in with yourself and your team to find out what the priority is and how it aligns to the organizational goals. &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/manpreetd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/manpreetd\">Manpreet Dhillon<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/vezacommunity.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:http:\/\/vezacommunity.com\/\">Veza<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>4. Focus On Improving The Customer Experience<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s no secret customers expect more every day, yet businesses still don\u2019t invest in the customer experience. There are so many ways to exceed expectations and build loyalty with customers, but leaders are often not provided the time or focus to do that. Create a customer-first strategy for your organization, including rewarding leaders for delivering exceptional experiences in 2019 and beyond. &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jeanniecw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/jeanniecw\">Jeannie Walters<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/360connext.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:http:\/\/360connext.com\/\">360Connext<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>5. Understand The Trends Likely To Impact Your Business<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It is important to do an evaluation of your market and tangential markets to determine likely changes during the year that you will need to be prepared for. One valuable approach is scenario planning, where the organization\u2019s leaders look at what is likely and at early warning signs to alert you that the scenario is in play. Base plans on most likely scenarios. &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/maureenmetcalf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/maureenmetcalf\">Maureen Metcalf<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.metcalf-associates.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:http:\/\/www.metcalf-associates.com\/\">Metcalf &amp; Associates, Inc.<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>6. Set Your Human Resources Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Prioritize your HR needs. Identify your competitive advantage and how to measure it. Decide on your desired culture. Create the tactical piece of the plan. Then, decide how you will implement it: How will you push the buttons for compensation, benefits, work-life balance, performance and recognition, and development and career opportunities to impact each of your priorities? &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EdKrowHR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/EdKrowHR\">Ed Krow<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.edkrow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:http:\/\/www.edkrow.com\/\">Turbo Execs, LLC<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>7. Be Ready To\u00a0Respond And Adapt To Change<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It is no secret that the business environment faces a high degree of change in our post-digital world. Applying systems thinking to address the intense shifts in the economy and demographics, the global pressures, and quickly maturing automation will help business owners face complexity head on and maximize competitive advantage. &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/adenajohnston\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/adenajohnston\">Adena Johnston, D.

Give Yourself Time To Think<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Most leaders have so many demands on their time that it\u2019s easy to fall into a pattern of reactive behavior like attending meetings, replying to emails and returning calls. Great leaders recognize the importance of carving out time to think, whether it\u2019s to develop a new strategy for customer acquisition or to reflect on what\u2019s going on with a dysfunctional team. It\u2019s not easy, but it pays dividends. &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/leader_refinery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/leader_refinery\">Jill Hauwiller<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadershiprefinery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.leadershiprefinery.com\/\">Leadership Refinery<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>9. Take Stock Of What\u2019s In Front Of You<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The new year often draws people to look for new bright and shiny objects. However, I recommend that leaders take a step back and assess what is already in front of them. What are you taking for granted? What resources and people are underutilized? What areas have you been avoiding working on because\u00a0they feel like too big a challenge? Your greatest opportunities are usually right in front of you. &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TonyaEchols\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/TonyaEchols\">Tonya Echols<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thrivecoachingsolutions.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:http:\/\/www.thrivecoachingsolutions.com\/\">Thrive Coaching Solutions<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>10. Think About Increasing Revenues In The New Year<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One successful analysis is to determine who your clients are. Do you provide products or services to students, technical professionals, executives or folks with specific careers? Track the types of products or services you sell and who in your client base you are not targeting. You can easily broaden your online marketing strategy and increase your income base. &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/barbaraadams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/barbaraadams\/\">Barbara Adams<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.careerproplus.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:http:\/\/www.careerproplus.com\/\">CareerPro Global, Inc.<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>11. Improve Your Company Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We live in a time of options, and if you\u2019re not the best option for your employees, they will find a better one. You need to create core values, drive the mission statement into their heads and be authentic when it comes to sticking to those core values. Focusing on your employees and the company culture is an important way to start the year. &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hardcorecloser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/hardcorecloser\">Ryan Stewman<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hardcorecloser.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:http:\/\/www.hardcorecloser.com\/\">Break Free Academy<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>12. Revisit Your Five-Year Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">January is a great time to update your five-year plan, including financial projections, key strategic goals, tactical support for those goals and planned investments in capital spending. Survey your clients, tweak your sales team, resolve operational and IT issues, spend some money on cybersecurity, and look at all your insurance plans for the year. &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/manexconsulting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/manexconsulting\">Gene Russell<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.manexconsulting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:http:\/\/www.manexconsulting.com\/\">Manex Consulting<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>13. Identify What Not To Do<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s simple to plan for the new year by considering only what you need to do to be successful. That\u2019s an easy and lazy trap to fall into. Instead, identify the hurdles. Pinpoint the behaviors to stop, the thinking to halt, the projects to pause. Where have you been putting energy and getting little to nothing? Once that is done, seeing how you\u2019re on track and how to continue is more clear. &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeilaBT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeilaBT\">Leila Bulling Towne<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bullingtowne.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:http:\/\/bullingtowne.com\/\">The Bulling Towne Group, LLC<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>14. Critically Debrief The Prior Year<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Revisiting goals and strategies is important, but that effort needs to be book-ended by two groups of questions. First, what is it that we\u2019re trying to achieve, and why? What impact do we want to have? Where did we succeed and not succeed last year? Second, where did we spend time and energy last year that we didn\u2019t need to? What activities did we engage in that derailed us? What should we stop doing? &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jeffikler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jeffikler\/\">Jeff Ikler<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.queticocoaching.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:http:\/\/www.queticocoaching.com\/\">Quetico Career Coaching and Consulting<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>15. Establish A Regular Habit Of Reviewing And Adjusting Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The reality is too many people put too much emphasis on January as the only time to focus on aspirations and goals and to reflect. Any truly successful person is taking daily assessments and making regular adjustments as needed, through a consistent habit of taking stock of what\u2019s needed to continue to achieve sustainable success. Start now to make this a regular habit. &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lindadzander\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/lindadzander\">Linda Zander<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/supersizedsuccess.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:http:\/\/supersizedsuccess.com\/\">Super Sized Success<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>16. Program Your GPS (Growth Plan Settings)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The best way to start the new year is by developing a growth plan. A growth plan is like the directions on your GPS. You know where you want to go, and the growth plan plots the things you need to do to get there. Without the growth plan, you are driving around aimlessly with a vague idea of where you want to end up and no idea of how to get to this unknown destination. &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ModglinLeader\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/ModglinLeader\">Amy Modglin<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.johncmaxwellgroup.com\/amymodglin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:http:\/\/www.johncmaxwellgroup.com\/amymodglin\/\">Modglin Leadership Solutions<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbescoachescouncil\/2018\/12\/14\/16-tips-for-business-owners-2019-to-do-lists\/#7a27346131fc\">https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/forbescoachescouncil\/2018\/12\/14\/16-tips-for-business-owners-2019-to-do-lists\/#7a27346131fc<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January is like the first blank page in a new notebook.
