With only 2 full months left in this year, it’s crunch time for next year’s business goals. And I want to share with you 4 ways to prepare your business for 2020. Because 2020 is a year for success. 

1. Plan

Planning will help you to create a blueprint for the upcoming year. Use this time to set sales goals, marketing plans, brainstorm content ideas, etc. Plan to succeed and exceed for a successful year in being an entrepreneur. We all know the saying “a goal without a plan is a wish.” And unless your business is a wish you need to plan to make it succeed.

 2. Find A Mentor

We hear the biblical phrase “Iron sharpeneth iron” used a lot in the business world. This phrase is important to keep in mind when looking for a mentor. Your mentor should be someone who has your best interest at heart and is very knowledgeable in the field you are looking to grow in. Having a mentor is a blessing and when you find the right one he/she will sharpen you right up.

3. Build A Strong Team

Do not try to be a one-man army and overwork yourself. Outsourcing is a great way to get more done and expand your business. Make a list of tasks that need to be done but go neglected because you don’t have time for them. For example, if you see that your social media content creation is something that is not consistent and goes lacking, hire a social media manager. This will free up so much time for you to focus and get more done. Entrepreneurs should always delegate their authority.

 4. Stay Consistent 

Once you have set up a business plan for the upcoming year, gotten sound advice from your mentor, and built a strong team, the main thing is to stay consistent. Start the year off strong with consistency and passion and there is no way your business can fail. 

There you have it. The best 4 ways to prepare your business for 2020. The year is almost over and your business is just beginning. Don’t hesitate to share your business tips with us.
