5 Startup New Year's Resolutions
by Startacus Admin
It’s about time for all that “New Year, New Me” stuff again, which is good - you’ve got to keep moving.
Even your business changes, when you think about it. From the moment you began to reading this sentence, your startup has been through a number of different stages. Even from its business conception to business planning, your business changes. So, why not make 2015 your startup year? Make the smart moves, have your goals and reach them!
To get you on your way, here are 5 resolutions that your startup should try to make and keep all through the year.
Hire someone new
Pretty simple. Bring in a fresh outlook on things into the office! Preferably before this time next year of course.
The goal here being, to increase the startup’s income or investment to a level where you can afford to hire a new colleague. This is a good sign for your business, as it means two things specifically; there’s financial growth in your company and you’ve managed to expand your workforce to achieve further goals. Of course, hiring a witty, hard working and driven new member can also boost the morale in the workplace, and provide a few chuckles throughout the year. In the worst case scenario, you could have someone to do all the grunt work you’re now too important to do yourself.
Decorate the Office
Another resolution that has a few meanings behind it; we can all agree that working long hours in an office that has four walls and a desk is somewhat creatively stifling on a good day, and soul destroying on a bad one. Well, freshening up your surroundings, and making things somewhat more comfortable can easily reinvigorate the creativity and work ethic of people in the office.
If you haven’t guessed the double sided nature of each of these resolutions, then this will probably save you some time; these all have an ulterior motive.
Get Featured on at LEAST Five Outlets
That said, getting featured by five different promotions can only be a huge marketing goal. Word will be let out via the networks and fans of the outlets, meaning you’ll see an influx of people and customers flooding to your business. Hopefully.
Get a Coffee Machine for the Office
Long days, especially in the cold months can prove very trying for any staff member.
(Also, if you’re a coffee friendly office, why not check out our amazing Member deal on Coffee)
Talk to a Potential Investor at Least 3 Times this Year
This one is pretty self explanatory. You are a startup - You NEED money. Make sure you actively seek the capital you need to make sure that your startup can survive until it becomes self sufficient. That’s just good practice. There’s no harm in an investor at the earliest stage of your startup’s life.
