The start of the year can be quite overwhelming.  This is the time when most business owners are scrambling to implement changes to expand their businesses this new year.  Many of my clients, however, find themselves in an analysis paralysis, because they simply don’t know where and how to start improving their businesses.

Progress is a continuous process.  It’s not something that can be achieved through one strategy or action.  There are certain things that you will need to do consistently to ensure that your business is constantly improving.  Otherwise, you will find yourself faced with the same challenges that you are struggling with now.

You start by looking within.  Analyze your strengths and weaknesses to determine the things that you need to let go of and the things that you need to keep on doing for your business to move up to the next level.

Here are some tips to help set you off on the right start.

1. “If I stop doing these things, my revenue will drop.”
