一年之计在于春！
1.头100天的计划
这个计划可不只是为了新年的来表一表决心用的。要2018年的第1个100天制定具体的，可实现的，而且有意义的目标。比如：不要用“我要吸引更多的客户或马主加入俱乐部”这样泛泛之词，而是要承诺在二月内要引入三个新客户。然后努力去实现它！
2.重新审视你的商业计划
经营一个能盈利的俱乐部是非常具有挑战性的。不断增加的饲料、谷物、燃料和土地成本，人工成本，再加上不断上升的客户期望，要求俱乐部的经营者要在客户满意度和盈利能力之间保持微妙的平衡！商业计划能为俱乐部经营者提供指导，对于可预见的和不可预见的情况做好提前的预料和准备。
3.组织与条理
新年开始总是一年中时间过得比较慢的时候，利用这段时间看看怎么有效利用俱乐部的现有条件？琐碎物品的存放,闲置空间的使用等等
4. 保持在潮流前方
经常参加当地的培训或讲习班，兽医技术、营养问题和问题解决方案以及培训策略等都在不断发展，在这些方面保持领先！
5. 请人帮忙
如果有很多琐事需要有人帮忙，那在繁忙季节到来前就雇一个帮手吧！如果需要税务、市场或俱乐部将要新开展的项目上获得帮助，也在尽早开始！
6.主要赛事活动的时间表
如果你运营的是一家竞赛型马场，那么全年赛事活动表可以让客户和员工为此提前做好准备。不但在自己的网站上要确保时间表要及时更新，而且在办公室或鞍具房内的时间信息也要及时更新。
7.审核工作成果评估马场或俱乐部的工作中哪些有效，哪些不太有效。有办法来提高饲养的效率吗？如果之前曾经做了关于马厩日常清洁工作的变化，这项变化起作用了吗？你的骑乘课有没有最大限度地利用你现有的场地和马匹呢？ 8.确定哪些服务能让你赚银子
马场服务的利润率不高。明确知道哪些服务会产生短期现金流，哪些会带来长期利润。着眼于增加长期的利润。同时，也要确保你对所提供的服务进行适当的收费！
9.开具发票，收款
这项看起来不是什么问题，但事实上很多情况是发票没有及时给客户开出去，或者是开了发票但没有及时跟进收款，还有的付款延迟。这会影响现金流，从而影响你的业务开展。那么你需要尝试一些办法以来解决，比如：更严格的合同付款条款，延迟支付将增加延迟支付费；或是使用信用卡的额外手续费需由客户承担；或是向客户提供详细的收费明细等等,来帮助你及时收到付款。
10.市场、市场、还是市场
选择一种市场营销工作，并持续进行。如果你有个不太活跃的社交帐户，加入新的内容，或加入成功的案例来更新它吧。你的网站是最重要的市场工具。
