Things to Remember
As we get ready to close the books on 2013, now is a good time to pause and reflect on the things that have happened this year. It’s been a busy year and I am sure a lot has happened, but five years from now what will you remember about 2013? Ten years from now what will you remember? More importantly, why will you remember them?
From new varieties and unseasonal weather to a sluggish economy and your local housing market, take some time this month to review all of the different things, both good and bad, that affected your company during 2013.
Analyze (as much as you can) what happened and why it happened and what it means to you and your business. Maybe there are certain things you would like to forget and others you may never forget.
Once you have had a chance to reflect on this year, take the time to really think about your business philosophy and how the events of 2013 have affected it. Are they in line with your philosophy, or do you need to make some changes?
Looking back now before the year is completely over, consider those lessons you’ve learned that will help your business continue to grow in 2014.
