This year we plan on increasing our gross sales by 250%. The first half of 2007 and previous to that, we were home based but we moved into a retail location and business has taken off. So I don't think that is too ambitious of a goal.
We plan on taking a good look at how we "run" the business and seeing if we can make it more efficient.
We also want to cut expenses, which I think is an overlooked area when it comes to increasing profits.
Those are just 3 of the areas we will be working on in the year to come.
Might even come up with a business and marketing plan!!! :0

My resolution is to be more aggressive and to ensure a website launch date on Valentine's Day (February 14, 2008). The Launch and promotion of my website is vital to the success of my business.

Putting more effort into investing/trading articles:

and building out my trading blog (just started):

http://tradingzoomhq.blogspot.com/

I also solicited suggestions on how to improve from my subscribers and message board members. The two words that keep coming up (here and there) are "visual" and "youtube", but I just feel silly trying to imagine myself in front of a webcam in the home office.

LUCKIEST,

This a grand idea you should pitch to shrinks. Reverse psychology. If people fail to accomplish their New Year's resolutions, they should fail at these too, actually achiving positive results.

20 years ago I quit smoking cold turkey by saying to myself: I can always start again, it's not like I am having an arm cut off, let me see what it feels like being smoke free. Now I can't stand cigarette smoke within 500 feet. But if I were making long term resolutions and enumerating long term benefits, I would still be puffing now.

Cognitive is understanding/knowledge, meta cognitive is understanding that you may not have all of the facts and that you need to obtain more facts or go back and recheck your data. It is knowledge about your own thinking and the factors that influence your thinking and decision making.

2008 is the year we "put it together"

  • 36,000.00 Investment on our eCommerce platform/site. Ads much needed functionality, automation & integration. Go live 2/1/08
  • "Customer Driven" focus. We lost some sales by dropping a huge advertising driven sales process but our margin increased x% and improved our bottom line.
  • Handed off server management to a reliable company. We can now focus on our core business
  • All my PT help will be getting FTE offers, Benefits & insurance.

Knowledge Engineering by Dr. Steven Tuthill (our CTO), I got from Amazon.com. Just google the book title and his name and you should find it.

As a matter of fact if you just google meta-cognition you will find a lot of info on the net about it as well.

Ms. Diva,
Thanks for the info. I should have thought of google...duh!
I put the Business Plan line in there hoping to get a rise from Luckiest! I have one half done and finishing it is one thing I'd like to get done by the end of the month.

I'd like to increase our retail sales by at least 30% with our current venues plus add three retail venues.

We are currently putting together an aggressive growth plan for our commercial sales unit that includes growth in all four divisions.

In terms of product development I want to develope and prep at least six new products a month.
