Kick Start Your 2015! 5 Helpful Tips For A Super Charged Year

resonate • Feb 09, 2015

By now the kids are back at school, holidays have finished and you are getting stuck back into it! Here’s some tips to help you charge through the year and achieve some fantastic results.

GOAL SETTING
The best thing you can do when setting your new year’s resolutions is to start with what you want to achieve by the end of the year. Then adjust any budgets or behaviours accordingly in order to meet those goals.

The more you talk about your goals and resolutions the more likely you are to achieve them. Share your key resolutions or goals with someone you trust and respect and check in with them regularly throughout the year to let them know how you’re going.

DECLUTTER
Life has become so busy that often our last priority is organising our workplace so they inspire us. We spend so much time at our workplace, so it’s important for your work environment to be creative, focused and calm.

Think of all the unnecessary and unused ‘stuff’ that can accumulate as a company grows – practices, processes, systems etc. It’s vital to set up good structures which will underpin every activity in your business. These foundations once put in place will have your business operating with ease. You will feel in control and enjoy your working days

FINANCIAL HEALTH CHECK
Don’t ignore your financial health! Most people check over their health at the start of each year. Do the same over your finances and undergo a financial health check. Review your spending patterns to see where you can save more money.

Economic challenges, job uncertainty, poor investment returns, reduced government services and a variety of other circumstances make this a perfect time to check up on your finances!

LEARN NEW SKILLS
Do you have the skills that your business needs? The secret to success in any venture is to never stop learning, it’s always a good idea to continuously be learning new skills. While a formal education is important for starting a career, new information and research makes it necessary for a person to continuously seek to improve their knowledge.

BRAND EVALUATION
Performing a brand evaluation provides an objective sense of your brand’s value and worth. You need to believe in your brand, but at the same time, you don’t want to let your passion cloud your judgement. An objective evaluation allows you to view your brand as a potential customer would, highlight any problems you may find and fix them!

So what about you! Your personal brand should represent the value you are able to consistently deliver to those whom you are serving. View your personal brand as a trademark, an asset that you must protect while continuously moulding and shaping it. Your personal brand is an asset that must be managed with the intention of helping others benefit from having a relationship with you or being associated with your work.
