6 Ways To Spring Clean Your Small Business

Are you ready to spring clean your small business? Here are six ways you can freshen things up at your company.

From Forbes

1. Tidy Up Your Website

It’s no secret that your small business website can help your business grow and evolve. But if you let much-needed changes fall through the cracks, your website can easily collect dust and damage your brand.

Chances are, your business has grown and changed during the last year. You might have revised your mission. Maybe you completely switched your business logo or color scheme. Either way, you should take time to scour your website for things that don’t line up with your business’s current brand.

What Is a SMART Goal?

‘SMART’ is an acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable (or Attainable), Relevant, and Time-bound. SMART goals meet all 5 of these criteria — and, as a result, are strategic, focused, and actionable.

Let’s explore each characteristic a little further.

  • Specific: The goal should be very precise with no room for misinterpretation.
  • Measurable: The goal should be quantifiable, and progress should be easy to track.
  • Achievable: The goal should be attainable — not outlandish or unrealistic.
  • Relevant: The goal should contribute to your broader, overarching goals.
  • Time-bound: The goal should have a defined start and end date.

  • Mentorship to grow professionally

Leverage a Mentorship to Grow Professionally

It’s likely we see the value in having mentorship to grow professionally. We see mentors as guides and advisors that can help us take our careers to the next level. 

 

From Radical Candor *This guest blog post about mentorship was contributed by Ryan Carruthers, content marketing manager at Together Software.

Despite the consensus that mentorship is beneficial, not every company encourages mentoring relationships to support employee development. For instance, the Talent Mobility Research Report found that over 40 percent of organizations said they did not provide this type of support to employees.

The reason for the disconnect between the value we see in mentorship and why companies don’t offer it may be a flawed mindset. Companies may feel that the job of career development rests on the employees’ shoulders. They should take the initiative — shouldn’t they? And performance reviews […]

Declining Revenue – 4 Creative Ways to Reverse It

With declining revenue – make small adjustments to the way you operate while you assess whether the slump is due to a larger macroeconomic issue.

Earlier this year, Meta (the company that owns Facebook) announced its first-ever yearly decline in revenue. Company leaders attributed the drop to a slowing economy, efforts to restructure the business, and to Apple’s new policy allowing iPhone users to opt-out of ad tracking.

When your small business faces a drop in revenue, the problem is also likely to be multifaceted. A new competitor may have entered your market, or consumers are responding to news reports of an impending economic recession. Whatever the cause of your revenue decline, here are some steps you can take to ensure your business rises to the challenge and comes through this period stronger than ever.
