Another year has come and gone and here at Mawson Global, and we’re eager to jump full-force into 2016.
As a new year approaches, now is the time to outline your ambitions and goals for 2016.
Setting attainable goals can seem incredibly daunting at times. However, our goals also serve as “navigational beacons” that keep us on a successful path, even when things get tough. By knowing what our goals are, we can more easily ensure we don’t veer off course.
Whatever your goals for the year may be, make sure they’re S.M.A.R.T; that is Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Relevant, and Timely. Utilizing this methodology drives you to sit and think about the substance of your goals. Why is this goal more relevant or pertinent than that goal now? Thinking of your goals in these terms reinforces the whys and hows.
Once you’ve set your goals, share them with people you trust. These people will serve as your support and accountability partners. When you outline your goals clearly, you and your support team have baselines and benchmarks you can reflect on to measure success and realign moving ahead.
Do your 2016 goals include ambitions of working with overseas suppliers? If so, 2016 is gearing up to be another banner year for Chinese manufacturing and trade. Researching and analyzing whether or not global sourcing is the right fit for you and your organization can be intimidating. Sourcing, though, can provide significant cost and time saving benefits, while increasing profits and strengthening the overall business.
At Mawson Global, we understand your concerns and needs, which is why we have developed the “Are you ready for Asia?” audit. Ask yourself, “How do you think Asia is impacting your business?” You may be able to come up with a number of responses to that. We believe that, largely, it boils down to two points: reducing costs by importing and increasing sales by exporting. If you fall into either of these camps, click here to learn more about the “Are you ready for Asia?” audit.
