Newcorn observes that many small businesses run the same way year after year, making changes only because they have to – what she refers to as "reacting to the market." Savvy entrepreneurs and business owners know they need to be proactive and use smart marketing strategies to maintain their competitive edge.

One way to do that, she says, is to strip down to their business skivvies to carefully evaluate whether they are in excellent, good or poor health when it comes to the latest business wellness trends including the "lean canvas" simplified business model. 

For example, Newcorn suggests CEOs consider:

  • Taking their pulse on pricing. Are their fees high enough to turn a profit after expenses or merely what they have always charged?
  • Whether they are getting the most from telecommuting employees.
  • If they are using subcontractors efficiently.
  • If their marketing efforts have the right balance between digital and traditional outlets.
  • Whether they need to dump or pump up their social media efforts.
  • How their business jibes with ways millennials are changing the workforce.
