The beginning of a new calendar year is an excellent time to review last year and reflect on what worked, what didn’t, what you’d like to change and new things you want to implement.

Take the time to review the year and acknowledge all that has happened, good, bad or indifferent. Examining the year with an objective perspective can provide valuable insights to prepare for the coming business year. Planning and goal setting will help provide a focus for your business efforts.

Your Yearly Business Review

• What were the most significant impacts on your business in the last 12 months? How well did you meet the challenges?
• What worked well last year? What systems, technology, products or services were successful?
• What accomplishments can you celebrate?
• What situation, event or experience provided the biggest learning opportunity?
• What is the biggest challenge or frustration you face as you prepare for the year ahead?
• What did you most enjoy during the year? Do more of it. What did you least enjoy? Do less of it!
• Analyse your financial reports. Are you earning what you’d like to? Is the business sustainably profitable?
