Resolutions are making their way back into conversations. As our friends over at health.com say, “New Year’s resolutions are a bit like babies, they’re fun to make but extremely difficult to maintain.”
There’s no time like the present to make a resolution to live healthier, organize your home better or volunteer more of your time.
But don’t forget to add your small business to your list of things to improve. Here are 3 resolutions for your small business to make this year.

TAKE A VACATION
Having your own business or working for one is a big commitment. If you own a business it’s likely that you put that business first. Of course, this makes sense, it’s your livelihood, but don’t forget to take some time for yourself. Unplug from emails and social media while you focus on you. It doesn’t have to be a long vacation but when you come back you will feel refreshed, motivated and ready to put some new ideas to use. There are several health benefits to taking a vacation so it’s a win-win for you and your business.
