As we head towards what will clearly be a challenging and testing year to steer a business to success, it was so refreshing to spend time with so many positive and like-minded local business owners at this month's local Business Growth Meeting to spend time thinking about and planning for their success in the next 12 months.

Make no mistake, over the next year many small businesses will fail, but it was a privilege to be amongst those entrepreneurs that are focussed on winning through and finding the opportunity that lies within whatever challenges are thrown at them in the next 12 months.

And so it was fabulous to spend a couple of hours taking a deep dive into three areas that will have a real impact on how peoples' businesses fare next year...

• How you think - arguably the single biggest factor on what happens to your business next year.  Do you have a fixed or a growth mindset?
• What you do - this will clearly matter! In every downturn there is a slice of every sector that does really well - why can't it be us in 2023?
• How you plan for next year - planning has never been more important right now.

These three things will be the difference that makes the difference so take a leaf out of the book of this groups forward-thinking entrepreneurs and take some time to get out of the 'weeds' in your business and spend some quality time working 'on' your business in the next month.

It could be the difference between your success or failure in 2023.

And huge congratulations to this month's Entrepreneur of the Month - Ian Haywood - for the huge steps he's made to drive his business forward and win new clients.
