Shared Resolutions
It’s that time of year when we reflect on the past and envision the future. Here are my favorite business resolutions for 2013, shared to inspire you to create your own resolutions for the New Year.“Start every day with strategic clarity by spending 10 minutes reviewing what one-to-five things you want to achieve this year, what your strategic priorities are for achieving them, and (most importantly) what businesses, activities and opportunities you have decided to say “no” to because they distract you from what is truly important.” – Kaihan Krippendorff
“Spend a little less time each day staring into screens, and a little more interacting directly with the people around you…because eye contact is good for business, and for life.”- William Powers
“Don’t confuse consensus with collaboration. You need a clear vision, not agreement. Push ahead, but foster collaboration to make that vision a reality and turn it into a profitable product or service. Focus your business on less, not more – work on fewer products, but make them the best. Push your personnel hard…way out of their comfort zones. They will accomplish things they didn’t believe they could achieve.”- Steve Jobs
“Stay current on transformative trends. Based on 28 years of research and analysis of current hard trends, it’s evident that the next five years will usher in the biggest technological transformation in human history, transforming how we sell, market, communicate, collaborate, innovate, train, educate and research. We are entering the era of “big data, meaning anyone can access data streams and analyze them using a smart phone or tablet. As technology progresses, it will be more common for people and companies to have moment-by-moment data for a variety of uses that will give us intelligence and help us learn about, react to and anticipate changes.”- Daniel Burrus
“My New Year’s resolution is to try more small experiments – things that might seem odd, and might well fail, but which have a small downside and a large potential upside. This needs to be a resolution because I, like so many others, get stuck on “it probably won’t work” and don’t focus enough on “but if it did work it would be amazing!” – Tim Harford
“Get with someone on how to do correct social media marketing. Your customers are out there, having conversations about your Business (or your competitors). It’s all up to you to be a part of those conversations, engage your customers and prospects, provide support and share content that matters to them. Don’t just set up a Facebook Page, a Twitter Account and a Google+ Business Page and hope things turn out well.”- Joel Libava
