From the training collaboration with Create & Cultivate previously, we shared a major lesson we learned from the changes that happened due to the pandemic and what we need to prioritize in growing our businesses.
Since then, we’ve been getting messages and emails from people asking how to evolve and adapt as we move forward, and how to continue to make progress and scale in their businesses.
Instead of sharing another set of goal-setting tips or diving into specific resolutions to set for the new year or new quarter, it’s more important that entrepreneurs take the time to regroup, reassess the direction of their businesses, and readjust it if needed.
And this is why setting the right intentions is crucial, especially if you’re the business owner, a.k.a. the captain of the ship.
Are you ready for more abundance and success in your business? Here are some creative, feel-good ideas to help you set the right intentions and direction for your business, so you can achieve your next level of success!
1. Set your goals
Make your goals measurable, clear, and realistic. You should be able to answer easily whether you’ve achieved each goal at the end of the year. Remember to not make these all sales goals. Take the time to reflect on this past year and identify the areas for improvement so you can have a more sustainable and scalable business, and grow out of the year stronger and better. Head to this post to learn The 5 Steps to Make Your Resolutions Successful.
2. Make your home a place you enjoy
Work-from-home is here to stay, so make space for your home office so you can work more productively and comfortably. Even if this does not apply to you given the nature of your work, you will continue to spend a lot of time at home. How you feel about the environment you are in affects the quality of your work and life, so make your home feels good to you and that makes you feel at ease.

3. Set systems
It’s time to take an inventory of all the changes that happened in your business this year, and set systems, processes, and templates to help you work more effectively, allow you to delegate more efficiently, and scale easily, so you can get more time back to focus on other important tasks.
4. Improve the experience
Focus on deepening relationships and engagement with your customers. Customer loyalty is key, especially during slower seasons and more challenging times like in 2020. Instead of constantly fishing for new sales, take the time to improve and deliver a remarkable experience for your customers.

5. Revisit your brand strategy & marketing
Most people start their businesses without having built their scalable Brand Strategy or a repeatable Marketing System. They dive straight into different tactics people tell them to do and spend most of their time getting the next new sale.
If you have been putting these off, now it’s the perfect time to revisit this crucial foundation of your business and do it the right way. Identify areas for improvement or even a complete revamp as needed. Start with learning The 5-W Formula to Build Your Winning Marketing Strategy and 6 Ways to Know If Your Brand Is Working.
6. Invest in growth
Make time for your personal and professional growth every week, and set aside a monthly budget for books, podcasts, courses, or programs. Make this year count, and make it a year of your major transformation. Your business will only grow as you keep growing yourself. You are in control of your success, and it’s up to you to make time for your success.
7. Prioritize joy
As uncertainty continues, set aside some time every week for yourself. When you feel positive, motivated, and well-rested, you see challenges are here for you not against you. Prioritize the things that bring you joy and energy is more than an act of self-care, it is a smart strategic move for business owners.
