In December of each year:

1. Box up last years files.

2. Make up new hanging files and manila folders for new year. If you are need of a label program, Avery Pro for laser is excellent. It is easy to use, you can import files from popular word processing programs and it has its own database manager, which will allow you to re-run these same files for next year.

3. Enter all standard meetings in your calendar or planner for coming year.

4. Put all your income, expenses and other records you need for tax preparation in one box. Run your spreadsheet program or financial program to see what your income and expenses came to for year. Do up a budget for coming year, a projections sheet to determine how many clients you need to increase profits, and cut any extraneous expenses.

Following this system will enable you to spend more time on growing your business. Good luck.

We know that it takes time to digest, and we have to go through several courses to get to dessert. The dessert does not come first. One course builds upon other, till you get to end, however, this also allows us to savor our success. Going through courses also allows us to take a good long look at things, so if we need to add a piece or entrée (make small or big adjustments), we can do so immediately.

If you want to run a successful business on or off web, remember your business is not fast food, but rather a nice long leisurely meal. Take time to digest it, and savor it over several courses, and your just desserts will be realized in end, but dessert does not come first.
