Business Toolkit
8. Enjoy The Challenge

Picture
Reflect back on your original goals for your business. Recognize ways that you have been successful in achieving these goals. Collect testimonials from customers, vendors and clients. Recognize individuals that have been instrumental in your success, whether as part of your formal or informal advisory team, paid professionals, family or friends.

Additionally, make sure to celebrate your business success with your customers, employees and the community that have been supportive of you and your business. Even small milestones are reasons to celebrate. Some ideas might include:

  • Have a party after your first year.
  • Thank all those who helped you-vendors, employees, family & friends
  • Hang banners
  • Reward and recognize your top customers - thank them on social media, offer a special reward or special
  • Write thank you notes to all of your customers and employees
  • Have a contest. Ask quiz questions about the businesses’ first year (# of ice cream cones served, gifts wrapped, etc.)
  • Pay it forward. Put a portion of earnings for a period toward a crowdfunding initiative to help the community, or another entrepreneur.
  • Launch a new product, initiative or marketing campaign. Promote what is new for the future.
