Set 2015 Business Goals

Can you believe that the new year is almost two weeks old already? Wow! 

Before it moves forward any further, take time to evaluate your business and your business plan. Look at 2015 as a way to get an "out with the old, in with the new" mindset. 

Don't toss what worked last year, but do look at what didn't work with a critical eye. In fact, you may want to work with a business or manufacturing consultant -- someone who can look at your processes

with a fresh perspective and help you make 2015 the best year ever.

Before week three of the new year arrives, take time to look at the ways you're monitoring success: 

• Are your goals clearly defined? 
• Are your goals measurable and trackable, ie have you set performance indicators to your goals? 
• Are you using the correct tools and metrics to measure your goals? 
• Are you setting aside time to check in with the goals you've set and make sure you're on track? It's easier to correct course early in the process than to wait until the end of the year and realize that what you were doing wasn't working

If you need help with a course correct, give our office a call!
