What's Your Business Priority Next Year?

I often get overwhelmed when my to-do list seems never-ending. At that point, I need to take a step back and ask myself if there is anything that can be eliminated or delayed. Usually overwhelm comes when there is a lack of focus and a lack of control.

When you run a business, your to-do list will always be too long. Sometimes we trick ourselves into thinking that once X happens, it’ll be different. For example, once you have more clients, you’ll be less stressed. But this isn’t the case. Once X happens, you’re likely going to be in a slightly different situation, but more or less the same mindset. That is the reality of running a business, there will always be problems to solve and new issues to address.

So before you get weighed down with all the things you should be doing in your business, consider what your number one priority will be in the next year. What is the top - and there can only be one - focus? How do you want your business to grow or improve next year? What is that one thing?

Below are some of the most common business focuses and articles that will help with that particular priority. But your goal is to select one single focus for next year. This will help you from becoming overwhelmed because you’ll know where you want to put your efforts and time. This is the number one priority and other stuff is less important.
