The holidays are coming up and we’re ending the year very strong. Now, we shift our focus for next year and make sure we prepare our business for a better year.

In this episode, I give you a checklist of things to do to ensure that our businesses will do better next year. Get your pen and paper. Prepare to take some notes. Enjoy!

Key takeaways for this episode:

1. Review your expenses for the year.

Make a list of your expenses and examine if there are things that you don’t really need.

2. Create a budget.

Just because the money is there, it doesn’t mean you need to spend it. Stay on a good path in spending.

3. Review any template you had set up.

Go through the templates you are using and evaluate if they still apply.

4. Update your website with new 'About You' photos.

Choose recently taken photos of you that are appropriate for your website.

5. Create a freebie.

Freebies are great to build up your e-mail list. Have really engaging freebies, not just basic ones.

6. Create a list of goals.

Keep your goals short, simple, and realistic, and plan for the specific steps you have to take to accomplish these goals.

7. Have a content strategy in plan.

Be realistic with your plan and think about your approach to doing your strategies.

• Contact forms will ensure that people can reach you if they have additional inquiries. Make sure it asks basic information about people who will contact you.
• Having your services and prices in your website can help you streamline your process. It would also help the clients’ decision-making, if it is within their budget or if they can make budget for it.
• Photos on your website gives a visionary description of your work brought to life.
• Make sure you have your metadata and keywords attached to the photos in the website.
