In 2020, most business owners have spent a lot of time preparing for the worst. It’s important to have a plan in place for when things go south – especially in these unprecedented times.
However, now that 2021 is quickly approaching and there are some new developments in COVID vaccines, it’s equally important to begin preparing for the best.
Here are some important questions to ask yourself as we gear up for the new year:
Is your business ready to take on an increase in demand?
As consumers feel safer, they will be eager to resume their pre-COVID lifestyles and spending habits. How have you been preparing for this? Will your current product/service offerings suffice? Do you have enough supply for the demand?
Is your business ready to grow and expand to accommodate that increase in demand?
If your industry (and consequently, your company) rebounds and begins booming, do you have an expansion plan? The necessary staff, real estate, assets, etc.?
Do you have [attainable] growth goals mapped out?
Have you consulted an expert on what an attainable business growth goal would look like in a post-COVID world? Have you been maintaining relationships with your funding partners/sources? Are you currently in a financial position to invest in your growth?
It’s a lot to think about. Investing money in your business growth is never cheap, and 2020 has likely already taken a toll on your finances. It’s stressful to think of the new investments you’ll have to make in the upcoming year when your business is still on the mend from the chaos of this year.
