Your Roadmap to Year-End Success- the Mid Year Business Review

By: Shelley Johnson, CPA

Halftime is here! The year is flying by, and it's the perfect time to take stock of your business progress. Whether your year has been stellar or a bit bumpy, a midyear review is essential to refocus and ensure you reach your goals.

Why Your Business Needs a Mid Year Checkup

Maya Angelou's wisdom holds true for business: "You can't really know where you are going until you know where you have been." Conducting a midyear review allows you to:

  • Assess Performance: Honestly evaluate how your business has performed against initial targets.

  • Reallocate Resources: Shift time, money, or staff to where they'll make the biggest impact.

  • Adjust Goals: Fine-tune, raise, or even eliminate goals based on real-world data.

  • Boost Team Alignment: Ensure everyone understands current progress and upcoming priorities.

7 Steps to a Powerful Midyear Review

  1. Make Time: Block 2-3 hours on your calendar within the next few weeks and include key team members.

  2. Gather Data: Compile all relevant information – financial reports, sales figures, customer feedback, etc.

  3. Review & Reflect: Analyze the data, identify wins and losses, and pinpoint areas for improvement.

  4. Revise Your Roadmap: Update your goals for the remainder of the year, making them specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).

  5. Celebrate Successes: Take a moment to acknowledge wins, big or small. Recognition fuels motivation!

  6. Communicate with Your Team: Share your findings, revised goals, and encourage open discussion.

  7. Implement Changes: Put your revised plan into action and monitor progress regularly.

Even the best-laid plans can be improved. The midyear review isn't about dwelling on mistakes but using those lessons to propel your business forward.
