3 New Year’s Resolutions Every Business Owner Must Make

For the owners of home service businesses, the beginning of the New Year is a time for action. Here, Pointman VP of Customer Success Gregory Dooley offers three resolutions that will help you start 2020 off right.

The calendar year has changed, and that means a new start. It also means it’s time for New Year’s resolutions, and that is especially true for business owners. We all know these are not the best way to think about change — you can try something different any time of year — but January is a great time for planning ahead.

Here’s how to start 2020 off the right way:

Close the Books on Last Year

‍From an accounting standpoint, closing the books on the previous year and opening them for the new year is essential. This could be in your accounting system, or through working with your accountant.

Look at Pricing

Many of us make New Year’s resolutions with respect to spending or saving in our personal lives, and it’s no different for business owners. Making sure your pricing is in line with where it should be is one of the strongest ways to ensure growth in the months to come.

Set Goals

There is no better time of year for looking inward than January. Set your personal goals and company goals for the following 12 months. If you can break those down into departmental goals, even better.
