Holiday parties, vacation days and family time can feel like a full-time job during the month of December. While it’s important to make room for friends, family and all the annual traditions, it’s also a great time to reflect, take stock and set the stage for your business to blossom in 2023.
We work with entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and business owners, and a lot of them come to us overloaded with the busyness of working on day-to-day tasks required to keep their business running, as opposed to working on the tasks needed to grow their business. The distinction is an important one, and our clients soon see the wisdom of freeing themselves up to make the most of their days.
Here are some suggestions to support your business growth and development in 2023.
Learn to Delegate
Delegating is not a dirty word. In fact, it’s a powerful one.
We get it, your business is your baby, and sometimes even the most ambitious and successful entrepreneurs have difficulty with delegating. Our advice, and we mean this in the kindest, most respectful way possible is get over it! If you genuinely want to be free to accomplish more in 2023, one of the best things you can do is start the process now.
We get to know you and use our Method Matching to pair you with the Peachtree Virtual Assistant that is suited in both competency and chemistry. You can rely on your Virtual Assistant to accomplish all the tasks that occupied your time and mental space in 2022.
Focus Your Energy
Very often, a creative mind has a mind of its own. Translation…it is extremely difficult to focus exclusively on just one thing and stop your creative mind from generating other ideas. The dedicated focus required to move your business forward is difficult to sustain, but critical for your success. So, make a note of the new thing, company, big idea and walk away and get back to your current project. This discipline will pay off.
Find a Mentor
If you don’t have one already, find a mentor. A trusted mentor that has been around the block can advise, listen, and help you think through problems. Of course, a mentor can be particularly helpful if they have experience in your space, but it’s not necessarily a requirement as business building has lots of commonalities across all segments.
Embrace Your Mistakes
Albert Einstein said, “failure is success in progress”. Mistakes are inevitable, it’s what you do with them that determines your success. Look at 2022 with fresh eyes and be as objective as possible. Ask yourself, can my time be better spent? Is it time for me to delegate? We can help you with that. Let’s get you matched so you can embrace 2023 fully equipped to thrive.
