Don't Relax too Much

The holiday season is those 6 weeks between Thanksgiving and the New Year that people like to lay back and relax. This is great and much needed but don't waste that time ignoring your business completely. If you are in retail it will be a busy time when you make most of your profits but for the rest of us it may be a slow time. Your expenses and employees have to be paid like normal and that money needs to be coming in to do so.

The holiday season is also the time to clear your mind of all your business problems and happenings of the past year and to look forward. When you enter the new year with new ideas and enthusiasm it can only be better than the past. If your current year was good, why not make next year even better. If you sit back and relax you'll give your competitors a chance to catch up and maybe even pass you. Yes, take a little down time but always keep your mind open to new ideas and ways to make next year even better for your business.
