The clock is already ticking on 2018 and if you only learnt one thing last year, it should have been that before you know it that tree will be going back up and you’ll be wondering where did 2018 go?

So, let’s kick start this year and make things happen! The Connect Plus team sat down at the end of 2017 to review last years goals and set our goals for 2018. There’s a few that make it on the list again and a couple of new ones. What hasn’t changed for 2018 is our focus on providing the expertise and services to help our small-medium business owners survive and grow.  So, bring it on 2018, we are ready for the challenges and opportunities that you will bring.

According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2018 is the year of the Earth Dog (our friends at Blackdog Design are going to loving that!) and its characteristic word is ACTION! This is going to be a good year in all respects, but it will also be an exhausting year. You will be happy, yet frustrated, rested, yet tired, cheerful, yet dull! Planning, postponing and negligence are words you will need to remove from your vocabulary during this year. Refreshed and regenerated, the Dog will accelerate the initiation of all things, but this will bring, at the same time, pressure and stress in the everyday life.

Key takeout, if you want 2018 to be a year with less stress and more clarity…you must do something different than what you did in 2017. So, here are the 5 top goals from the Connect Plus team for 2018…

Goal 1:

Be the go-to Omnichannel digital marketers for small to medium retailers.

Goal 2:

Keep our clients one step ahead of their competitors through innovative marketing strategies.

Goal 3:

Introduce new services which deliver a higher level of customer service to our clients.

Goal 4:

Provide ongoing support through strong training programmes.

Goal 5:

Work on that elusive work/life balance.

Under each of these goals we each have our own actions to ensure we deliver them, or at the very least are on the way to deliver them, by the end of 2018. We are a team and together we know we can achieve all of these goals and so much more.

So, what are you wanting to achieve in the coming year, we would love to know. And if we can help you achieve your goals reach out and connect with us today.
