11 Business-Improving Resolutions for 2012
As 2011 comes to a close, we all have the sometimes dreaded, sometimes anticipated New Year's resolutions to make. I ran across a great article on American Express' Open Forum website by Barry Moltz, a small business author and consultant. Moltz suggested 11 New Year's resolutions that businesses should make in 2011. The list is still true for 2012. Read the tips below, but you'll need to get the full article by Barry Moltz to catch the details.
-
I will stop complaining about the bad economy.
-
I will only sell painkillers. (see the full article!)
-
I will fire the employees that do not increase profit.
-
I will only market to prospects that can actually pay for my product.
-
I will not lower my price to substitute a real marketing strategy.

I will meet with customers and vendors face to face.
-
I will attend at least one major industry event.
-
I will invest in me and learn at least one new skill.
