For those of you who really need some alone time to rejuvenate and prepare to get back to business, try a weekend retreat for yourself. Go away from your home and your office for 2 days, stay over night if you can in a hotel or spa retreat to gather your thoughts and plan the coming year.
During this retreat, you will want to write down every idea or creative thought that comes into your head. Then you want to plot out on a big calendar any annual events, promotions, sales or focuses for your business. Along with those, you will want to outline timelines or deadlines for needed tasks or items in order to accomplish those such as book a hotel conference room for the client appreciation event and order and send invitations. Plot those on the calendar too allowing ample time to accomplish each item. Don’t forget to add in your personal vacations and family time too – you have to do this to keep balance in your life for sure but if you don’t calendar it right off the bat, that time gets eaten up doesn’t it??
Your client base is your most valuable marketing resource so keep adding to it, following up with everyone on it and work them for repeat business and referrals and you will succeed. If you keep reaching or spending money trying only to get new business and forgetting about the old contacts and clients you will most likely fail.
Now, get networking
