This is part 3 of Getting Ready for the New Year. Click for Part 1 and Part 2 . There are 2 things I like to do at the end of each month/quarter/year. 1) I look over my data to see what it's telling me. 2) I like to spend some time thinking about what worked and what didn't work during that time frame. Here are some questions to ask yourself. ☞ Are there products that are blossoming? Plan to make more like them. ☞ Are there products that haven't taken off?

Getting Ready for the New Year - Find Part 2 here and Part 3 here . Here are 5 tips to help you have a successful New Year. 1) Be organized.
