For business owners and executives who want to start 2013 strongly, Elia provides these tips:
1. "One of the biggest mistakes made by people in both large and small businesses is to try to tackle too many projects simultaneously without the staff or outside support them. Sometimes you don't know until you get into a project what will actually be required to complete it. This is where the leader of the company or department must step in and make an executive decision as to which project or projects to make top priority.

2. If you don't know the return on investment (or ROI) of everything you do, you're probably making the most costly mistake most business owners make and holding yourself back from the success you are working to achieve. If you are a business owner, or even if you work for someone else, you should know the value of your time so you can determine not only what to spend your time on, but how much time you should spend on any given task or project.

3. Underestimating what it really costs you to stay in business every month is another common mistake that many small businesses make. Most medium to large companies have accounting departments that oversee expenditures more closely. With most software systems or even a simple Excel spreadsheet, you can quickly list your expenses and calculate your monthly overhead. Don't allow small recurring expenses to sneak up on you, either. Be sure you check your expenses no less frequently than once a quarter, but it's better to do it monthly."

• The ROI of everything you do.
