Consider how 10 solutions can work for you:

1. Review and fine-tune your business plan. Be sure to discern your competitive landscape and benchmark your main competitors.

2. Bring on the A team – both in staff and advisors. Recruitment and training will remain important, and seek the best mentors and professionals for inspiration to help you sustain growth.

3. Remember Pareto’s Principle – the 80/20 rule. It applies to you and your business in a variety of ways. It means, for example, that 80% of your revenue comes from 20% of your customers. So evaluate how you spend your time and resources.

4. Enhance your staying power by concentrating on your most profitable customers while identifying new revenue sources.

5. In prospecting and marketing, select and target the right customers.

6. Add sizzle by improving your niche-performance. Uniqueness will count even more in the New Year.

7. Watch your cash flow and your firm’s overall budget each week.

8. Focus on quality in your business processes – make it your No. 1 job.

9. Innovate – plan for more marketplace changes and evolving consumer preferences.

10. Practice the art of mental toughness. Learn from the pros who have been there and done that. Read more. Listen and watch interviews of successful leaders. Be patient. Dwell on solutions, not the problems themselves. Practice the Principle of Contrary Action by varying your routines in all that you do. Learn by osmosis and network with winners. Relish your successes. And be flexible with change because you know it’s coming.
