If you are running your own business, then you probably know what it takes to achieve your goals, in terms of investing in your future, time, effort and putting everything at stake.

Here are our 6 top tips on how to make your business the best it can be:

1. Be organised

Organising your daily and weekly tasks will help you to the most important things done on time. This will help your business to steadily grow, and give you a sense of achievement.

If you are not very organised, try to find a system that fits your work and life style eg. phone reminders, to-do lists.

2. Treat every client like they are your only client

Calling your clients to make sure they are happy with your service will make them feel special and give you useful insight into your business too. Don’t spend a lot on this though – go for a reasonable mobile plan such as Vodafone’s Go Business Plans, which include data, minutes, and up to 30 free international minutes for every hour of incoming calls you receive.

3. Listen

People are your best asset, and keeping them happy is about building a good relationship. Whether it’s your customers or your colleagues, listening properly and making them feel heard will develop this relationship, and in the long-run improve productivity. As a leader, listening is often more important than talking.

4. Cash flow is king

For your small business to be a success, cash flow is critical. Keeping track of your income and outgoings, and keeping your records up to date, will help you manage your cash flow properly. This is an important part of preventing financial problems and keeping your business healthy.

5. Stay focused

Multi-tasking is actually a myth. Be more efficient by working on one idea or task at a time, putting time and effort into it. As well as helping you to stay focused and organised, this will allow you to build a path towards your end goal.

6. Monitor your competitors

Keeping up with the competition is always a good idea. If you know what they are doing, you will be able to stay one step ahead of them; and this is a great way to take your business further.
