The following business tips will help you in taking your business and your team to the next level.

Review 2010 — review your profit and loss statement, did you make a profit in 2010? Was it enough? If not, what are you going to do about it?

One place to start is to review your operating expenses, and start cutting wasted overhead expenses.

I urge you to review your profit and loss statement very carefully, numbers don’t lie and is your real score card.

You may want to evaluate your business and leadership skills. Are you taking advantage of all your legal business tax deductions?

Are you evaluating staff performance and productivity of each team member? Are they contributing to the growth of your business? Perhaps you may want to evaluate their customer referral rate.

These are just some of the positive steps you can take in evaluating your business and its future.
