Do you have all the Keys?

GET ORGANIZED

One way to achieve business success is to be organized. It will help you complete tasks and stay on top of things that need to be done.

An excellent way to be organized is to create a to-do list each day. As you complete each item, check it off your list. This will ensure you're not forgetting anything and completing all the essential tasks for the survival of your business.

Remember, everything has a place! Utilizing storage bins, folders, and containers is another key so that important items don't get misplaced or lost.

KEEP DETAILED RECORDS

Proper bookkeeping helps you know the business’s financial status and what could potentially become a problem moving forward. It can make the difference between becoming a small business success story or not. At the same time, it can also paint a picture to visualize future projections and assist in business planning.

You need to be able to make adjustments to your business every quarter to make sure you stay on track towards reaching your annual goals. When it comes to good record keeping in regards to taxes, it pays to tidy up your books.

BE CREATIVE

Always be looking for ways to improve your business and make it stand out from the competition. Recognize that you don’t know everything and be open to new ideas and different approaches to your business.

Hire the Right Person

Talk about tough decision, hiring the right person can be hard but it is imperative to have A+ team players behind you. All small business success stories have something in common: they know that the people they hire become keys to their small business success.

No small business can't afford to waste a position by hiring someone who is not a fit for the role. But the same is true about the opposite scenario. No small business can afford to lose a star employee. Build your team and treat them well. Listen to them and help them grow.
