What do you do to plan and prepare for a new year?

This episode is about looking forward to the new year and how to prepare for it. 

The last episode was about how to review, so if you listen to that episode and this one, you should have a pretty comprehensive guide to getting wrapped up with the last year and ready for the new one. 

When you’re finished with your review of the last year, it’s time to ask yourself what you want the next one to look like. Is there anything you want to do differently? Do you have different financial goals? Use what you’ve learned from running a business over the last year to inform what you do next! 

If you’re not sure where to start with your prep for the upcoming year, you’re in the right place.

Topics We’re Covering in This Episode:

  • Reviewing your mission, vision, and core values
  • The difference between mission and vision
  • Getting your website, pricing, and contracts up to date
  • Setting your goals for the new year 
  • Creating a yearly marketing plan 
  • Getting your taxes ready ahead of time 
  • Why you should archive things on your computer that you don’t need anymore

Taking time to do a review and make a plan moving forward is so beneficial to your business. The review process gives you a chance to reflect on what you’ve learned this year, and the planning process sets you up for success moving forward. 

Take a look at the Small Business Task Appendix to see what tasks I recommend reviewing daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly!
