It’s December now—and in much of the US and Canada, this means that the temperatures have dropped, the lakes have frozen over, and the snow is falling. And of course, preparation for the holidays is in full swing.
But as the holidays pass, our focus will shift to preparing for the New Year. Right now, 2013 is a blank slate for all of us. It’s a year full of potential and full of possibility. It could be the best year of your life. Or it could be a bad year. It might look a lot like 2012, or it may be totally different.
But here is the point I want you to remember: you are not a helpless passenger in life, or in business. You have the power to create your own destiny. Take action and make 2013 the best year your business has ever known—or remain passive and “see what happens.” Who knows, you might get lucky… and success might fall into your lap (not). Why not take control and make 2013 an incredible year?
Along this line of thinking, here are several resolutions you can make for 2013 to help you take control of your future:
Have a plan. If you don’t have a plan, you’re wandering aimlessly. Maybe you’re going in the right direction, maybe you aren’t. This is certainly true with regards to your business—so make a plan. What are the specific goals you want to achieve in 2013? Make a list, then create a detailed plan for accomplishing the goals.
Don’t “put it off” any longer. Every business owner has a long list of projects that they KNOW needs to get done in order to build their business… but somehow they never find the time. Resolve this year to stop putting these things off.
Proactively invest in yourself. YOU are the most valuable asset that your home staging business has. It is your knowledge and ability that determines the level of success you will achieve this year. So resolve to invest in yourself. Read more. Subscribe to industry publications. Hire a coach, attend a workshop or training program.
2013 will be your best year yet… but only if you take control and MAKE IT HAPPEN! The good news is you don’t have to do it alone—I can help! Get in touch with me today if you’d like to learn more.
