Ramon Ray says, “So many people put energy into making an exhaustive list of New Year’s Resolutions for their businesses, but often these fall by the wayside after just a few weeks into a new year. This year, I’m here to shake things up. Rather than waiting until January to set your year up for success, I’m offering eight easy things you can do right now that will ensure that 2017 is a blowout year for your business.

How to Get Your Business Ready for 2017

1. Hire a Business Coach

I know that Type A entrepreneurs tend to think they can do it all themselves, but the fact of the matter is: you can’t. That’s why getting a business coach is such a smart idea for the coming year. Because they can see your business from the outside, they can provide a non-biased view of how you’re doing in your business. They can push you to try harder, and guide you in the right direction.

Choose a coach that excels in areas that you are weak in. I myself recently hired a coach to ensure my 2017 is even more of a success than 2016. They’re working with me on sales, marketing, and finance. Especially finance, as that’s a weak area for me.

2. Make Small (and Big) Tweaks to Your Processes and Procedures

You have a certain way of doing things in your business. Everything from invoicing to onboarding new clients has a process. These tend to get cemented into the fabric of your business, whether or not they’re actually effective”.
