Happy and Prosperous New Year !!

Whether you are an entrepreneur, employee or even a government "servant", you are about a start a new financial year, ie 2012-13.

Looking forward, the top 5 things, you may consider doing.

1. Goal. Set yourself a "Goal" and announce it to your team, friends and relatives (TFR) who wish you well. This can range from achieving a sales turnover, a bottom line target, setting up new stores, training and even rewarding your staff.
2. Ask for suggestions, criticisms and way forward from your team above (TFR ) on how they would like to achieve the goal. They will initially say all the nice things , but on seeing your genuine interest, are likely to come up with really beautiful and workable ideas.You will need to be genuinely interested in that, but you will be surprised at their feedback.
3. Plan of Action. Once you have enough ideas that you think you can handle, all of you, should detail out a plan of action.  It will be a brief business plan . Where ever possible, set out due dates, responsibilities etc.
4. Summarize  the action plan into a few major points. Once this is done, get adequate posters, stickers, etc printed. An easy way would be even outsource some of these to a 3rd party like http://www.jademagnet.com , who can develop them for you.
5. Rewards Set a reward which makes all the effort worth it. This also needs to be announced, and dont forget to celebrate even a small milestone.


Simple way to remember this is GAPS filled are Rewarded. These are Goals, Ask for suggestions, Plan action, Summarize and Rewards.


Best of luck and a happy new year again..
