January 2023 - Getting Organised

The Christmas and New Year break is over, the kids are back to school and tidying up after the holiday chaos is at the front of your mind. At some point you need to get some work done too! Its easy to rush into January and get straight back to work focussing on clients and any backlog that has built up over the holidays. Before you know it its February and you haven't had time to think about YOUR business.

If you can, book out a day in January, (I like to choose one later in January so I can catch up on client work first) blank it out in your diary, put your out of office on, and turn off the phone.

Use this day to get your own business organised, here are a few of my top tips:

• Plan your next couple of months out

• Set goals (if you like to do this)

• Review your business plan

• Clear out your email inbox

• Update any Ts & Cs or client contracts that you use throughout the year

• Cast a quick eye over your website - check its up to date

• Plan your marketing - social media, advertising, networking

• Outgoings - Create a list of business payments you need to make this year - insurance, website, software, office space, IT, large one off payments

• Tidy your workspace

Getting your business in order is a great way to start the new year, feeling in control and organised. It starts you off on the right foot and will make you feel more confident when dealing with clients or prospective clients.

Have a great 2023!
