Small Business Tip~Cathy Hagan, SBDC at UNF

Spring Break

As the weather gets warmer, the azaleas
start blooming and school lets out for
spring break, it is a great time to get
re-invigorated and inspired. As you tackle
yard work and spring cleaning tasks at
home, go beyond dusting the ceiling fans
and pulling out the grill and do a little
spring cleaning of your business.
Here are some things you might have
been putting off in your business, but
have the potential to help you shake off
the winter woes and get a renewed
enthusiasm for the season of growth and
new beginnings.
Clean off your desk. File the piles of
paper cluttering your office or throw
them away. Get rid of “rolling” tasks by
getting them done, delegating the work
or removing them from your list entirely.
Clean up/organize your computer files.
Back up your data. Change your
passwords. Run updates, maintenance
processes and virus scans on your
computer and commit to doing it on a
regular basis going forward.
Freshen up your business card, website
and other marketing materials. Review
and update your social networking
profiles. Make sure you are all paid up on
your professional organization
membership fees including the Chamber.
Ask for client testimonials. Update and
practice your elevator speech.
Plan a 3-month goal check-up to review
your progress on 2011 goals. Take an
online class or webinar to advance your
knowledge. Send out account balance
statements for any unpaid invoices.
After all that... take a spring break of your
own I hear there is a great golf
tournament coming up!
