Wayne Liew Dot Com experienced a great week with a blog post covering 2010 New Year resolutions of small business owners and entrepreneurs. Of course, I am excited to see most members of the small business community are pumped and ready for 2010. Are you?

Improving your business in 2010 is important but you can’t neglect the need to improve yourself as an individual. This week, I am going to publish self improvement or development areas that small business owners have identified for 2010. Add yours in the comments section below and I’ll try to include it in the coming blog post with a link to your site.

This week on Weekly Biz Buzz, I have 3 tips covering 3 different areas to share with you. Let’s see what I have for you!

Don’t Just Plan, ACHIEVE It!

Planning for the New Year isn’t something new but most plans created by individuals and businesses tend to be carried forward into the next year. Why? People fail to achieve what they planned to achieve. It’s very frustrating to know that you failed to achieve something and excuses will start popping up in your mind to shrug the failure off.

Why don’t we start to actually achieve our goals this year? Yes, 2010, achieve goals. Not plan, not just talks, but ACHIEVE it!

We are always distracted by tons of tasks, new projects and unexpected events throughout the year and they make us sway from our path. How to Keep Your Action Plans on Track by Gill Korkindale will show you how to keep yourself, your team and your business as a whole, focused on the goals that are in place.

Stay focus and we should be at where we want by the end of 2010. Let’s do this together, OK?

Are You a Headache to Collaborate with?

Collaboration is slowly becoming an vital part of every workplace and as the Internet develops, online collaboration is becoming the preferred way of getting things done by freelancers all over the world.

We cannot escape the need to collaborate with other business owners, freelancers or individual contractors and in order to complete a project, we ourselves must become a good collaboration partner.

In 10 Reasons Why Your Last Collaboration Did Not Work, an article dedicated to freelancers, Marshall Rake elaborated on factors that may fail your collaboration efforts. Although this is an article dedicated towards freelancers, you need to understand how to collaborate with them better in order to complete your projects successfully.

Your Facebook Page is Dull, Make It Shine!

Facebook now has more than 350 million users and they should have a few millions more by now as the most recent announcement on their user numbers was in early December last year.

More and more businesses are creating their own Facebook Pages, a platform by Facebook for businesses and brands to connect and to interact with their prospects, customers, clients, or simply, their fans. However, most Facebook Pages are dull and boring.

If you are looking to enhance your Facebook Page and make it stand out from the crowd, you should read 10 Steps to Make Your Facebook Page Shine by Francisco Rosales. There are way more things that you can do with your Facebook Page and this blog post will show you what you might be missing out on.

Remember, ACHIEVE IT!

Now, you have my tips for the week. If you want to improve your Facebook Page, write it down and DO it! If you want to collaborate better with others, start learning, either by collaborating more or by learning from others.

Don’t wait! TAKE ACTION!
