Company’s resolutions for the next year
People have so many different things they set as resolutions and plans for the new year. According to statistics, only about 10% of people do not set resolutions at all. On the contrary, 59% of people make resolutions every year. However, it’s much harder to keep them. After the first week, about 75% of people stick to their resolutions, but by the end of the year, only 8% have actually carried out their resolutions.
hat about a company’s goals for the new year? A company that does not know where it is going or what its goal is most likely cannot operate effectively, or at least not as effectively as it could. For this reason, I would assume most successful companies set goals – a type of goal to reach by a certain time. The path to the goal (its strategy and implementation) can be very complex, and sometimes the reason why we do not get there is because of the large number of steps that must be done in order to reach each goal. This often causes us to be overwhelmed, which will hinder us from seeing and completing the necessary steps. It is ideal to classify activities according to their complexity (both financial and time), while at the same time according to the effect they hold. Deciding if we can’t handle everything now is easier than later on down the road.
Now I will jump again from corporate to personal development before we return to the company. In the area of personal development, one of the tools used to map the current situation and determine a good strategy to improve is the so-called Balance wheel.
It can have different versions. Personally, I prefer the one that allows us to evaluate 12 areas. You can see them in the following image.
First, one determines in each area how to personally rate it at the moment, on an imaginary scale from 0 to 10 points with 10 representing that it is in great condition and needs no improvement. It is very important to note that this is a subjective assessment of satisfaction with each given area. For example, someone may be satisfied with their career since he has the position of an executive who manages his job well, while someone else may be only satisfied if he becomes the director of a well-functioning company. Therefore, it is important to evaluate your personal attitude and feeling, not the expectations of others. After the current situation is well mapped, one ideally chooses one to a maximum of 3 areas in which, if he achieves improvement, it will have the best impact on his overall life for the better. It is worth narrowing down the most important priorities for a while because when we select too many areas at once, in the end, we usually can’t achieve any of them properly.
So we can apply the logic of the Balance wheel in the business world. Areas for evaluation and improvement can be divided into 4 parts:
Finance – income/expenses/unwanted money loss;
Relationships – internal/with clients/with suppliers;
Company development – professional management/ professional services/great company image (WOM);
Team development – time and energy for your own business and your development/active and competent team/achieving results according to plan;
hich areas are best for your business? Choose the ones that, if improved, will have the greatest impact on the positive outcome of the company.
And as the end of the year approaches, try to narrow down the individual areas into 12 resolutions. This doesn’t happen just by chance. The Teamogy system can help you fulfill each of your resolutions.

Timesheets are fine, they make more money
Timesheets, or filling them out, is not exactly the most popular activity among people in agencies. It’s a little better in the top management of agencies, but before I focus on a theoretical defense of why we should like timesheets, I will mention two examples from my agency experience. Timesheets that are filled in correctly, are your business friend.
How can Teamogy help you sell better to your clients?
It has happened to everyone – you send an estimate to a client and realize that the client does not like the proposed price. Clients express this disagreement with the price in various ways.
