Baskets of Change and Thanks

by Shirley George Frazier on December 31, 2008

How do you plan to bring the 2008 business year to a close? The way you end sets the tone for how you’ll build success in 2009.

Here are a few ideas for ending the year on a high note.

Clean up cluttered corners. Where are the pesky areas within your workspace, the areas that make you cringe each time you must rummage through a pile to find what you want? Try to organize that area today.

I took my own advice this past Monday, inspired by the Gift Basket Design Studio Extreme Makeover and cleaned a messy floor pile. No wonder I couldn’t find my best pair of scissors!

Create a binder system to house important information. Binders are good office buddies that compile financial, competitive, and marketing data. The main focus before starting is that you must commit to binder management rather than putting them on a shelf and never opening them.

I have four binders – the three mentioned earlier and one for brainstorming.

Write your own success chart. You’ve overcome many challenges and are deservedly proud of that. Why not flaunt your success on paper in an area where you’ll see and be inspired by it everyday?

My success chart is posted on the side of a printer, which is next to my computer. I can’t miss the list, and it acts as a great foundation to build new success. Try it for yourself.

Most of all, be thankful for your accomplishments so that you duplicate what worked again and again, and remember the problems only as a part of business you vow not to repeat.

I’m very thankful to all of you who visit the GiftBasketBusiness.com family of sites, share comments, and consider us as your silent business partner.

What’s your biggest success for 2008?
