Hello, December: The Final Chapter of 2024 🎄 As the festive season begins, we’re not just decorating trees—we’re wrapping up the year, too. December is the perfect time to reflect, recharge, and reset. When I first started my business, I treated December like a sprint to hit every goal I set back in January. But I learned an important lesson: Growth doesn’t just come from pushing harder; it comes from planning smarter. This month isn’t just about ticking off to-do lists; it’s about setting the tone for the year ahead. Ask yourself: 1️⃣ What worked this year? 2️⃣ What can I let go of? 3️⃣ How can I start 2025 with clarity and focus? Let’s make these last few weeks count—not by overloading, but by strategically building momentum for the year ahead. How are you using December to prepare for the future? Share your plans below—let’s inspire each other! #HelloDecember #BusinessPlanning #EntrepreneurLife #FestiveSeason #YearEndGoals #SmallBusinessMindset

And so, here we find ourselves again, preparing for the chaos of the end of year rush 🫣 Between festive celebrations, trading closures, end of year sales and trying to fit in an *actual break* - it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. The good news is that it’s not too early to get prepared. Especially when you have our ultimate end of year checklist for small business owners by your side ✅ Read, save and share this with your fellow business owners. 1) Do a financial review. Book time with your business adviser to make sure you’re well-prepared for the silly season and ready to take on 2025. Make sure to discuss opportunities to free up cash flow, upcoming changes to staff/resourcing and plans for supplier/your shutdown periods. ⁠ 2) Reach out to your team and check in 🫶. It’s now October and the chances are they’re probably feeling a little exhausted. Take the time to connect with them and communicate any holiday period company policies (leave, closures, etc) well in advance. 3) Audit last year's performance in the run up to Dec 31. What does the data tell you? Use this info to predict trends, avoid overstocking, supply chain disruptions and over (or under) staffing. 4) Plan ahead. Don't let 2025 creep up. One of the hallmarks of a super-successful-business is that they get plans in place to keep momentum going and minimise lulls (and associated cashflow crunches) during shutdowns and slow seasons. 5) Consider what your customer experience looks like over the festive season. Give your customers or clients ample notice of any shutdowns (and update those Google Business Hours!). What are your order / shipping cut-off dates? If this is a busy time for your business, consider hiring casual staff to help your customers (and permanent team!) feel valued. 6) Take a moment to pause and reflect. What were your key wins for Q1-Q2? What needs improvement? Waiting till January to look back on performance means you may miss out on opportunities to make the most of crucial trading periods.⁠ This time can feel like a race against the clock. But we’re here to remind you that it doesn’t have to!
