10 THINGS YOU CAN THINK ABOUT WHILE AWAY FROM YOUR DESK THIS SUMMER

As a business owner you never stop thinking about your business. While you are soaking up Summer, use that downtime to think strategically about your business. Let your mind wander—but do it productively.

Here is our list of 10 things you can think about while away from your desk—and letting your creative juices flow.

1. How can you keep your clients happy?

2. What can you outsource so you can focus on revenue-generating activities?

3. How can you make your services better tomorrow than they were yesterday?

4. Are there additional services your clients want or need?

5. What operational improvements can you implement to streamline your workflow?

6. What is your biggest obstacle and how can you overcome it?

7. Do you have the right team in place to reach your goals?

8. Is your pricing strategy up to date?

9. What new collaborations can you make to move your business forward?

10. What’s next?

While every business’s trajectory is different, there are common threads to the challenges we all face. No matter your industry, product or service, managing and growing a business is difficult. Stepping away from your inbox and setting time aside for proactive and strategic thinking can position you for greater success while providing you with the opportunity to reflect on key business points.

These are the 10 questions that we believe every business owner should be reflecting on and asking themselves again and again as their business evolves and grows. Bonus that you can think about these questions while you are on your daily walk or while you watch the waves at the beach. Just remember to jot down some notes and to map out your next steps when you are back at your desk and ready to drive your business forward.
