3 Business Habits with Mandy

In this episode of Coffee with M and J, Mandy and Jaime shift into year-end reflection and future-focused planning as Mandy shares three essential business habits every entrepreneur should revisit before stepping into the new year.

This conversation is equal parts practical and real-life, covering everything from burnout and wearing all the hats to digital clean-up, goal review, and the courage it takes to try something new in business. Whether you’re a newer business owner or a seasoned entrepreneur feeling stretched thin, this episode offers grounded reminders and actionable next steps to help you close out the year strong and move forward with clarity.

Key Takeaways

Habit #1: Hire the Help You Need
You don’t have to do everything yourself. Whether it’s a bookkeeper, social media support, a virtual assistant, or even help in your personal life (like cleaning or food prep), outsourcing frees up time and energy so you can focus on growth instead of getting stuck in the day-to-day grind. Hiring help isn’t a failure, it’s a growth strategy.

Habit #2: Update & Align Your Digital Platforms
Now is the time for a digital refresh. Review your website, social media bios, links, Google Business profile, branding, and contact information to ensure everything is accurate, aligned, and working properly. Consistent handles, clear messaging, updated photos, and functioning links help build trust and keep your business top of mind.

Habit #3: Review & Plan Your Business Goals
Pull out the goals you set at the beginning of the year, yes, even the ones buried in a drawer. Celebrate what worked, acknowledge what didn’t, and identify where you can pivot. Goals don’t have to be purely financial; consistency, visibility, and courage count too. Write your goals down, keep them visible, and even planning just one focused quarter can be a game changer.

Bottom Line:
Growth doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from doing things differently.
Reflect, clean up, ask for help, and move forward with intention.

☕ Tune in, reflect on your year, and start building habits that support the business (and life) you actually want.
