????12月已經(jīng)來臨，是時候為你的公司鑄就更加美好的下一年早作打算了。

????以下是我為企業(yè)家們在年底準(zhǔn)備的七大要務(wù)清單：

????1.奠定增長基調(diào)。

????你的企業(yè)是否有能力實現(xiàn)明年的增長預(yù)測？審核你對明年的發(fā)展預(yù)測，確保每一部分的預(yù)算計劃得當(dāng)。

????你的銷售人員能夠完成銷售目標(biāo)嗎？你有足夠的辦公空間容納所有雇員嗎？客戶量的增加，會對客戶服務(wù)造成怎樣的壓力？訪問量的增加，又會不會影響互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的支出成本？

????2. 整理賬本。

????如果你沒有每個月看賬本，繳稅并為企業(yè)預(yù)留足夠的流動資金，你就是個不夠格的企業(yè)家?；蛟S你沒有花上足夠的時間，好好看清賬目，搞清楚公司的業(yè)績。

????確保仔細(xì)審查財務(wù)報告，對比企業(yè)幾年來的發(fā)展變化。注意是否有任何數(shù)字出現(xiàn)了下跌，然后制定計劃在明年加以改進(jìn)。

????3.召開員工會議。

????或許你總是為生意殫精竭慮，但往往忽略了和員工交流你的想法。你可能調(diào)整了公司的發(fā)展方向，或者增加了新的業(yè)務(wù)，卻沒有與其他人開會商討。

????年底是回顧公司在過去一年的表現(xiàn)，暢談挑戰(zhàn)、成就和來年規(guī)劃的好時機(jī)。開始?xì)g慶會之前，應(yīng)該召開員工大會，這樣就不需要在晚會的歡樂氣氛中談公事了。

????4.節(jié)約開支。

????能為企業(yè)帶來重大發(fā)展的巨額開支是你要考慮的重點(diǎn)。查看來年的各項高額支出，看看你是否能有什么辦法確保減少部分開支。

????以每月的軟件服務(wù)為例，通常提前一年支付可以獲得20%的折扣。同樣的道理，如果提前支付全年的租金，房東會給予10%的折扣。了解這些省錢的方法，馬上著手投資。從長遠(yuǎn)來看，可以節(jié)省一筆不小的支出。

????Now that December has arrived, it’s time to make some smart moves to set up your company for an even better next year.

????Here’s my seven-point checklist for entrepreneurs at the year’s end:

????1. Set the stage for growth.

????Can your company accommodate the growth forecast for next year? Review your projections for next year and be sure to plan appropriately in each area of the budget.

????Do you have the sales staff to meet the revenue goals? Have you adequate office space to accommodate the hires? How will an increased number of clients strain customer service? Will an increased amount of traffic affect Internet costs?.

????2. Get the books in order.

????If you haven’t been doing your books monthly and paying taxes or setting aside money, you’re on the naughty list. Perhaps you haven’t spent enough time reviewing the numbers and the company’s performance.

????Be sure to examine the financial reports carefully and compare the changes from years past. Note if any results are off and make a plan to push the numbers in the right direction next year.

????3. Gather with staff.

????You might be thinking about your business all the time, but it’s easy to not communicate your thoughts with staff. You might have changed the company’s direction or added services without bringing everyone to the table.

????The end of the year is a great time to reflect on the company’s performance, talk about challenges and accomplishments and plan for the year ahead. Have a meeting before your holiday party so that the festivities don’t have to involve talking business.

????4. Seek out savings.

????Big expenses that hold the promise of significant growth dominate your thoughts. Look at any big-ticket items for next year and figure out if you can pay them off for a guaranteed savings.

????Monthly software services, for example, often grant 20 percent off to those who pay a year in advance. Likewise a landlord might offer a 10 percent discount if rent is furnished for the entire year. Spot these savings and make an investment now. You’ll save money over the long haul.
