5 QUICK BIZ TASKS
THAT YOU CAN CHECK OFF YOUR LIST BEFORE THE YEAR ENDS
Y our time is valuable — no one knows that better than a small-business owner. Make the most of it with these five- minute tasks that will leave you feeling organized and ready to step into the new year. 1. ASK A CLIENT FOR A TESTIMONIAL. Jeff had a great experience with your services. You know that because he told you so himself. Make the most of clients like Jeff who are enthusiastic about your business and ask them for a testimonial. Add these to your social media pages and website to attract new clients. 2. CREATE A FILE FOR DOCUMENTS AND CORRESPONDENCE FROM YOUR CLIENTS AND VENDORS. Do you know the saying, “If it’s not written down, it didn’t happen”? These words are especially applicable to business owners. Any service-related interactions you have should be documented. Spend five minutes creating space for these documents and getting them in order from the past year. You won’t be able to finish everything, but it’s a start. 3. DELEGATE A TASK YOU HAVEN’T GOTTEN TO. You’ve been putting off recording that email list for months. Could someone else tackle it? Use someone on your team or a
contractor, but it’s better to get it done than to let it sit in pending status any longer, right? Something like scanning documents you need to file might be just the task. 4. UNSUBSCRIBE FROM EMAILS THAT YOU DON’T WANT TO RECEIVE. This is the perfect five-minute task when you’re waiting at the doctor’s office. Prime your inbox to be a place of clarity, home to only correspondence that’s important. Breathe a sigh of relief (and maybe high- five someone) when you get your inbox to zero unread messages. 5. REACH OUT TO A BUSINESS LEADER YOU ADMIRE TO SET UP A MEETING. Being an entrepreneur can be a lonely journey. Hearing from another successful business owner is inspiring, motivating, and sometimes sparks ideas you hadn’t thought of. This may be just what you need to jumpstart your business in the new year.
