The holiday season is extremely hectic for any small business owner, so it\u2019s important to always be a step ahead by being fully prepared when that time rolls around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
H\u00e1galo: Determine con antelaci\u00f3n su programa de vacaciones<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you own a small business, you don\u2019t necessarily have to have a brick-and-mortar store, so it\u2019s easy to find yourself working longer-than-usual hours. The holidays are supposed to be a time of rest and relaxation, so be sure to set holiday hours for yourself and make sure that you create vacation days for yourself as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Una vez que decida cu\u00e1les ser\u00e1n sus d\u00edas de vacaciones y cu\u00e1nto tiempo quiere trabajar antes de esos d\u00edas de vacaciones, aseg\u00farese de informar a su p\u00fablico. Avisar a tus clientes con antelaci\u00f3n evitar\u00e1 que te encuentres con proyectos y tareas de \u00faltima hora que tienes que terminar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t: Completely Abandon Ship During Your Break<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Although you should definitely take a break during the holidays, you shouldn\u2019t completely abandon your business during this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you leave on your holiday break, put some aspects of your business on auto-pilot. Schedule your email campaigns in advance, schedule your social media posts, and contact your virtual assistant, staff and\/or web developer and ask them to keep tabs on certain things for you. Or, if you find that you can\u2019t completely tear yourself away from your online business, determine a day that you can \u201ccheat\u201d and allow yourself to look over business stuff \u2013 but stick to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hacer: Controlar las finanzas de la empresa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you are preparing for the holidays, it can be easy to get caught up in all of the hustle and bustle of the season. If you aren\u2019t careful, you might find yourself spending a bit more in your business than you expect to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a holiday budget for your business so you can make sure that you don\u2019t spend more than you bring in for your membership site. Before you leave your business for the holidays, be sure to look over your finances so you can see where your business stands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t: Go Overboard With Holiday Sales<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The last two months of the year can be a blessing and a curse for small businesses. Around Thanksgiving, you have Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday, which is an excellent way to snag deals on tools and resources for your online business. Around Christmas, there are always deals and sales running that are attractive to online business owners. However, taking advantage of all of these deals can easily get you in financial trouble if you aren\u2019t careful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Antes de hacer la primera compra, ten en cuenta qu\u00e9 es lo que m\u00e1s necesitas y c\u00e9ntrate en ello. Si ves que tienes dinero suficiente en tu presupuesto para derrochar en algo m\u00e1s para tu negocio, entonces haz otra compra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do: Highlight Your Business\u2019 Accomplishments This Year<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cuando se inicia un negocio en l\u00ednea, puede ser f\u00e1cil centrarse tanto en lo que hay que hacer o lograr que se olvida tener en cuenta los logros que se han conseguido a lo largo del a\u00f1o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In your final business analysis of the year, be sure to look at all the positive your business has done this year. Did you reach a sales goal? Hire a new employee that was a big help? Did you gain new membership customers? Launch a new online course? Whatever it is, don\u2019t forget to acknowledge and praise your business for that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t: Stress Yourself Over What You Didn\u2019t Accomplish This Year<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Last but not least, don\u2019t stress yourself over what you didn\u2019t accomplish this year in your business. As a business owner, we understand that you want to make sure everything in your business goes as smoothly as possible, but the truth is that\u2019s not always the case. Even the most successful businesses don\u2019t reach all of their goals in a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s okay to look at where your business fell short in the past year, but don\u2019t dwell on it. Take each situation as a lesson and learn from it. Strive to do better next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The holidays and approach of a new year are always stressful \u2013 for both the common person and the business owner. But being able to prepare ahead of time will make this time just a bit less overwhelming for you. We do hope these tips will help you to stay grounded and ready for the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00bfTiene alg\u00fan consejo para los empresarios sobre c\u00f3mo prepararse para las fiestas y el a\u00f1o nuevo?
