Spring Cleaning Your Small Business

This is the third year in a row we are talking about spring cleaning for your small business. Why do we write about it every year? Because spring cleaning is so important and can make or break your coming plans for summer. So, let’s just go ahead and delve right into why spring cleaning is a vital part of your small business’ success!

What Does Spring Cleaning Mean In Your Small Business?

You can decide what spring cleaning means to you. It could mean cleaning out files, physically cleaning your store or offices or taking on a project to reorganize. The first thing I would do is decide which of these things would be most impactful to my success. If I ran a storefront, I would prioritize physically cleaning and freshening things. My second priority in that situation would be to change around my displays to reflect the season or items I wanted to feature. If my small business was an office setting, I would prioritize cleaning out and reorganizing my files first. My second priority may be a “digital” spring cleaning of organizing and backing up all of my important files.

How Can Spring Cleaning Your Small Business Change Your Life?

It can change your life because it is your second chance this year! The new year is long gone and now that some time has passed, you are likely more clear on your vision for the year. While some of your organizational goals may be going strong, some of your good habits may have slipped. That pile on your desk you swore you wouldn’t have this year. The “junk” closet or catch-all spot you planned to keep clear is piled up with who-knows-what. Well, great news! This is your second chance “new year” and you can take the opportunity to reset and refresh. Plus, your feeling of satisfaction will be well worth it!
