Happy Christmas to My Business

Contact your people
It might be too late to send cards so start calling people who have meant something to
you this year. You only need to talk for a minute but this can be more meaningful than a
Christmas card. If there is no time for a call simply send a text.

Empty at least two filing cabinet drawers and if possible empty a complete cabinet and
take it down to the local charity as a donation. Scan the paper and throw it!
De-clutter your office

At your final meeting of the year, get together and congratulate people on their
achievements. If possible give awards to your staff and don't forget to give some silly awards e.g. “Craziest Shirt of the Year” or
the "Comic Character”.
Congratulate your staff

Nominate at least one "green" initiative you are going to adopt for next year. Is it to throw out the fridge, replace the inefficient lighting
or start a recycling program. There are plenty of non-for profits that will assist here.

Buy your business a Christmas present. Is it the new printer, a piece of software or a
new lounge for the waiting room? This will give you a lift for the New Year.

Make sure all bills are paid before the end of the year. This will put your mind at ease and
will also give your suppliers and clients a happier Christmas. If you have a cash flow
problem, write down the bills that you intend to pay January and promise yourself
to pay them when the cash comes in.
Pay your bills

Do at least one thing for someone less fortunate than yourself. This could be a
company donation to a charity or a round of volunteering at a local church or
community service organisation.

Ask one or more of your school-aged children to come into your work. They can help you clean up, do important tasks or just get to know what you do at work.
Invite your children to work

Work out one thing you did this year that you can delegate. Is it your email inbox? Is it bookkeeping, an administrative task, or
managing your events? How you will delegate this task next year? Will you
outsource, employ extra resource or give the job to somebody already employed by you?
Delegate your work

At Christmas we eat, drink and party more and hence need to make sure we look after ourselves. Go for long walks either in the morning or in the evening.
Keep up or take up regular exercise
![Page 13: Happy Christmas to Your Business](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55567ca0d8b42a182f8b45fd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What's the one area where your business or your personal effectiveness
can be improved next year? Write it down now. Don't wait until after the
break when things have gone a bit stale.
Think about hiring a Business Coach
