Business New Years Resolutions
Setting New Years Resolutions as a business owner is slightly different to setting one for personal reasons. Sure, we can make promises to go to the gym more, get less takeout, and finally invest in a travel coffee cup - but when half your brain is on personal development and the other is business development - there’s no need to neglect one or merge your priorities.
For me, there’s a personal life Steph who wants to work out more, quit smoking, and save for a mortgage. Then there’s CopywritingBySteph, who wants to grow her client base, build passives, and use 2025 as the year to find more direction - something which I’ve definitely lacked this year.
One thing I always do is take the time to write a life audit - which in itself helps you get into more of a professional mindset instead of an emotional one.
I’ve spoken about the benefits of life auditing on here before but essentially you split your life or business into three themes (I tend to do Clients, blogs and, business) and rate them out of ten.
So for example,
Blogs 6/10, overall quality just didn’t feel there. Were rushed more often than not and haven’t actually added any value to the website in some months.
Then you think of a potential fix,
Plan four fixed blogs to align with a theme. Holding space for reactive content. Also setting up Google Search Console will allow for more learning rom each piece.
In its simplest form it’s a critical analysis of the things that matter the most to you, allow you to reflect on sour notes you likely seldom do and plan a genuine route to success with the year ahead.
I’m a big believer in manifestation; for as long as I can remember, I’ve kept journals, diaries, vision boards, set goals and, tried my best to manifest. It may sound silly to others, but if you believe you can do it, what else is really stopping you?
Of course, logistics are key to achieving any good New Years resolution. But that’s what the life audit is for, critical analysis and resolution, this is the chance to work out the kinks in your plan to achieve world domination.
This you’re ready for it?
