Planning – 3 Key Things to do Before 2016

December 16, 2015

Since Christmas is the season for giving – we wanted to share with you our top 3 things to get done before next year to help with your new year planning and to set you up for a successful and prosperous 2016…

  1. Review Your Year

One of the most crucial steps to planning is looking at what goals and targets did you achieve in 2015? Do you feel as though you had a great year in business and really achieved what you set out to accomplish?

Have a think around:

Reviewing and planning for business

  • Sales – performance, products, range, units sold, and what is your Top Selling Product
  • Turnover – do you feel that your turnover reflects the amount of time and effort you spent in your business?
  • Your salary – do you feel like your hard work from 2015 deserved a greater salary or drawings?

Reviewing your year is the best way to see where improvements can be made, and how to leverage the parts of your business which are working well. It’s also time to take stock of the amazing results you have achieved, and congratulate yourself and your team for all of your hard work.

  1. Take Time to Complete Business Planning…

Have you got a clear company direction for 2016? How is your next 12 months going to be different and what is your ‘Success Strategy’?Time leveraging and planning for small business

If you want to see some great results in your business next year – the key is planning and mapping out exactly what you want to achieve, and then working out what you need to do to get there! If you’re wanting to build your team, convert more sales or increase turnover, then you need to work out how you are going to reach that goal. What areas need to be improved? What are the barriers in your business that are holding you back from achieving more? How can you reach better, more qualified customers?

Take some time out from the day-to-day workings of your business to sit down and think strategically about where you’d love to see your business this time next year…

  1. Take ACTION!

The only way to create change is to take action and make change happen for yourself. Having a positive mindset is the first step to achieving success, Christmas and New Year Planning Strategies 2015but  waiting for things to happen will not deliver the results you are looking for. And if we wait around for “all of our ducks to line up in a row” – we may be waiting a long time, and wasting time which could be used productively to make positive changes happen now so we can reap the rewards sooner.

So… make a list of what you want to achieve in 2016, and what positive changes you want to see happen, decide who can help you do that, and take action now to make those changes possible

Also – We are thrilled to be featured again in NZBusiness Magazine, this time discussing holiday secrets to re-energize and de-stress over the Christmas period.Christmas Strategies and Planning for Small Business
Taking breaks throughout the year from business is important, and particularly now at Christmas to have a chance to rest, relax and reflect on the year that’s been. It’s been a busy year for most, and we all need time to take the pressure off, and think about what’s worked, and not worked so well in the last 12 months. I talk of my holiday strategies that help me to relax and stay productive during my holidays and time away. Check out the article here, and also see what four other highly successful business owners have to say about how they leverage their time away from the company

If you haven’t already got your December/January copy of NZBusiness Magazine – make sure you do! It is such a fantastic tool for anyone in business – with innovative new ideas and fresh inspiration.

Client Success Stories

Staff have really stepped up and even surprised themselves…

Fiona has helped us look at our business from a totally different perspective. She has helped us to develop new strategies and approaches and we are working more ‘on’ the business rather than being consumed by it. The staff training we have had has gone very well and the staff have really stepped up and even surprised themselves by what they have achieved. Fiona makes you accountable to yourself and has a fabulous way of working. I would definitely recommend her.

Mavis Griffiths – The Prenzel Shop

I have been working with Fiona just over a year and she has helped me build my business to what it is today. I have had a 75% increase in turnover. I would highly recommend taking the steps to bring Fiona on board in your business. I have come across many business advisors/coaches but no one comes close to the service and hands on approach like Fiona.

Pauline Stockhausen – Social Soup NZ

Simple but effective ways to get new customers

Fiona helped me to stay on track with my business; put good systems in place, identified opportunities for growth, and implemented various strategies to increase the business. Fiona showed me what steps to take to improve and grow my business. She created a simple but effective way to help new customers with decision making which led to increased orders of product. She is absolutely passionate about what she does and helps business owners to get there.

Marina Korovkina – Basilur Tea New Zealand

Huge Growth Rate in my business…

I started working with Fiona in October 2012 on my 2 Physiotherapy clinics in Christchurch and Auckland. Since working with her, she has helped me achieve a huge growth rate in terms of patient numbers, resulting in an increase in turnover. I love working with Fiona as she has reputable experience as well as strategies that really work. She is also innovative and motivating, which I believe has helped me to see the increase in my business that I wished. I highly recommend her to anyone as a business consultant!

Ariel Chuang – LifePhysio

On – the – mark Business Planning

Fiona has been providing me with on-the-mark advice around my business development for the coming year. It’s her determination to see her clients succeed that makes Fiona stand out. Not for her ‘advise . . . and walk away.’ Fiona follows up, provides the structure and advice founded in experience to develop a strong business plan that works. Of course, it’s over to her clients to actually do the doing – and Fiona’s got the systems at her fingertips and the ability to whip-crack (nicely) so we develop that self-discipline to carry out the required actions. Value? Yes. Great to deal with? Yes. Results? Yes – if you follow Fiona’s advice.

Helen Slater – Strata Communications

Another fantastic seminar from Fiona at BreakThrough Business Solutions. I have been to many seminars but Fiona certainly stands out from the crowd. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge and winning strategies , I look forward to implementing these and reaping the rewards!!!

Sara Morles – Business Development Manager – Peter Hay Group

I’m excited again about my business

As a small business owner Fiona gave me the confidence to think about my business differently. I have been in the Travel Industry nearly 20 years, and after working with Fiona I have increased the leads I am getting and turning those leads into actual sales. She has helped me identify new opportunities, put good structures and processes in place, and take control of my business which has had a huge impact. She has enabled me to get excited again about my business and working with her is the best thing I could have done.”

Anita Gatley Travel

Great Results

Fiona has assisted me in taking my business to the next level. Although we were doing all the right things we weren’t getting the results we wanted. Fiona helped us to do everything better. From planning, strategy to follow through, she has helped us achieve better results overall and the results are above expectations!  I highly recommend you talk to Fiona if you are considering looking for a business coach who will give you value for money, and great results.

Jess Daniell – Director –Sendsational Gifts

Our Bank Manager wanted to know how we got these results!!

In the past couple of years, we have had changes in ACC funding which affected our business and resulted in a large decline in turnover. We got Fiona on board and started developing new ideas and growth strategies. Our turnover increased to the point our Bank Manager noticed the results and wanted to know how we were increasing business! And Fiona has also given us a new skill set we didn’t have before, which adds strength to our business.


Joanne Kitchen – Director Northcross Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation

Opened my eyes to different strategies

Today’s economic situation is tough for a lot of us, so it made sense to me to bring in outside expertise to help me increase the practice. Fiona has shown me simple, cost effective ways to increase my business and get results. We have achieved an awful lot since working together and she has opened my eyes to using different strategies which has had a great impact. I would recommend talking to Fiona who really knows what she is talking about.”
