Nick Zamucen | NickZamucen.org
As the New Year rapidly approaches, it is time to think about resolutions we can make for 2018.
Unfortunately, most resolutions fail because they are unreasonable or unrealistic. Entrepreneurs
often fall into this problem because we try and conquer the unconquerable. However, by setting
an achievable goal, you will be able to grow both personally and professionally in the upcoming
year.
Understand Finances
Whether you have an accountant, or you are your own accounting department, all
entrepreneurs should be familiar with the accounting basics. ​A better understanding of finances
will allow you make strategic financial predictions, lower expenses, pay off debts, and measure
your business targets better.
Manage Time Better
Proper time management skills are needed for almost anyone, but especially entrepreneurs.
One of the most effective skills anyone can have in life is powerful and efficient time
management. If you're not managing your time effectively and efficiently, there's no way you're
going to reach your goals both professionally and personally.
Increase Philanthropy
It’s no surprise that giving back has immense benefits. From a business standpoint, buyers are
becoming increasingly well-informed on business practices. Customers want to buy from
businesses that are engaged in philanthropy. Furthermore from a personal perspective, giving
back helps your health, evokes gratitude and promotes social connections.
Update Your Website
Having an updated, easy-to-use and a visually appealing ​website is vital for business success​.
Many buyers are shopping online, which means you must have an exceptional website if you
want to stay in the game. It may be time to upgrade and increase the responsiveness and
mobile friendliness of your site.
Clean Up
This is one of the easiest resolutions that an entrepreneur can take on for the New Year
because it can be done in a relatively short time. You may be surprised how important it is for
your health and productivity to have a clean and organized workplace. This resolution is also
excellent because you can tangibly see an improvement when you’re done.
By setting a reasonable New Year's resolution, you will be able to grow both personally and
professionally. A resolution does not have to be a year-long endeavor, instead, make it a goal
that you can and will achieve.
