Getting Into the Spirit of Spring
3 Ways to Refresh Your Business As a business owner with an incredibly tight schedule, you may not think there's time to stop and smell the roses this spring. But you should. Nature's favorite season always brings a sense of hope, and just about everyone feels better taking a break outside to enjoy the weather. But besides boosting your personal life, your company could stand a breath of fresh air too. So how do you manage it? To find out how, we asked some of Dave's leaders the best way to refresh a small business. Here's their advice. - Do the Math
On the monetary side, Mark Floyd, Chief Financial Officer, recommends starting with some spring cleaning like storing or getting rid of old files, cleaning up records, and looking at IRS guidelines for timelines. Once that's complete, then it's on to the financials. Do a review of the prior year—year-end results versus prior year versus budget—and look for the areas where your company won or lost. Then, using the 2013 results and your current feel for the business and market, get a monthly and annual budget in place for 2014.

Quick Tip By John Felkins
EntreLeadership Coaching and Community
Spring may be the perfect time to clean, but it's not the only time a bit of tidying up can do you some good. When you're stuck and you don't know what to do, take some time and clean off your deck, organize the shop, empty your inbox, or any other of the dozens of small chores you've been putting off. Mindless productivity gives your brain time to process problems. Oftentimes somewhere during a chore, your mind clears and a solution pops into your head. And as a bonus, you've got some cleaning done too.

Rick Perry
Director of Human Resources Okay, I confess: Spring is my favorite time of year. With the return of sunny days and warmer temperatures, I just feel different. There's more pep in my step, and I'm full of energy. And I bet you're probably the same. So why not take advantage of these good feelings and great weather and head outdoors? This spring, gather your team, bust loose from your business, and go to the park for a couple of hours. Let everyone throw some Frisbees, hang out on the swings, or simply sit under a shade tree and think. Then hold a brainstorming session while you're there. By changing from the norm, plus having a lot of fun, you'll pump up your team's creativity and get the ideas flowing. It's well worth the time you invest away from the office.
