Start with a plan

This tip may seem like common sense, but having a sound business plan is a must if you are going to succeed. Whether you are just starting out or have been in business for years, take a moment to evaluate your business plan and make sure it is serving your company well. Businesses change over time, and what fit your mission in the beginning might not work for you now. 

It can be daunting to think about changing something as fundamental as your business plan, but it will be time well spent. Having a clear vision of how your business is set up will ensure the longevity of your company and give you piece of mind that you are operating with a sound structure.

Surround yourself with support

The people you surround yourself with play a key role in your success, both personally and professionally. If you are surrounded by negative people, you will be less likely to share new ideas and think big. Having a positive support system, whether you’re an entry-level employee or a CEO, increases morale and productivity. 

Think about the kind of business you are running. Do your employees feel comfortable coming to you for help and sharing their thoughts and ideas? As important as it is for you to interact with positive people, it is also crucial for you to create a supportive environment for your employees. What goes around comes around, and if you treat everyone with respect and cultivate open communication that is the way you will be treated. If you notice employees not contributing to a healthy work environment, it may be time to reevaluate their role in the company. Above all, be positive!

Smart negotiation

The ability to negotiate is an essential business skill. Whether negotiating with your boss or in the boardroom, having a knack for bargaining can help you attain your goals. Even if you are a natural, remember there’s always room for improvement. First, do your research. Coming into a situation with all relevant information and having anticipated the possible questions and concerns will help you more effectively negotiate what you want. It will also help you keep your cool and not get flustered if you are challenged on your proposal. Second, remember that by definition, negotiating implies a compromise. Knowing what you want and “sticking to your guns” does show confidence, but being unwilling to meet in the middle comes off as stubborn and makes it less likely that you will get what you came for.
