7 Ways to Set a Powerful Business Vision for the New Year

Passion Led Us Here written on a sidewalk

Chances are, you had a specific goal or business vision in mind when you first set about starting your business. Over time, though, those initial goals have a way of getting lost in the day-to-day hustle and bustle of keeping a business running. They may grow outdated, or the company may simply outgrow them. Regardless, you can end up with a company that is focused on running (and possibly running well) but not really going anywhere because it lacks a central vision to drive it forward. With the dawning of a new year, it’s the perfect time to establish a

This is part of the reason that some major corporations, including IBM and Yahoo!, have started phasing out virtual teams completely. Just because problems can arise doesn’t mean that they have to, though. If your business makes use of virtual teams, there are

As your business grows, you may be surprised at how much you are able to accomplish. This is especially true once your business has grown to the point that you’re starting to consider larger projects and initiatives that would have once seemed beyond your scope. Unfortunately, you might sometimes find that these new projects are still a little beyond what you can easily do alone.

One of the most important things that a business can do is contribute to the community around it. This spirit of giving not only builds up the very community that supports the business, but also provides the business with some well-deserved public recognition. Businesses shouldn’t contribute to their communities just for the recognition, of course; it’s merely a positive side effect that comes from business leaders trying to do the right thing. Even though communities can use help any time of the year, the amount of help needed often grows significantly as the holidays creep closer. If you’re wondering how
