Holiday Art Business Planner
Every business owner knows the holiday season can boost sales or tarnish the company brand. It is the time of year that you love and hate. The extra income generated from a sale is positive; the high stress involved is negative.
Does it have to be stressful?
I have been involved in business for over 25 years. 10 years I ran a department for a supermarket and 15 years and counting I have been the owner of my own business. With 25 years of experience, I have to say it does not have to be stressful.
It took me years to get to the point I am at now. There was a learning curve involved throughout the process. Every year I learned how to make the job more productive, more profitable while being less stressful.
A plan equals less stress.
How do you come up with a plan if you are new to the business? Learn from others. I learned everything I could from people more experienced than I was. I wanted to know everything. No matter what stage of the game you are at, you can still learn. Once you close your eyes, your business will stop growing.
A plan is only as good as the execution. What does that mean? When you write a plan, you have to stick to the plan. Do not write it then put it in a drawer and forget about it. Look at it every day. Do what needs to get done even if it is a chore that you hate doing. Adjust when needed.
Take notes at the end of the day. This will be the most valuable tool you will have to write your plan for next year.
I have come up with a series to help you design a plan for the holidays. This outline will give you a guide of what I have found works the best for me over the past 25 years. Keep in mind that it is an outline and adjusting is critical.
I wish you the best!
