fanniemae: Did You Conduct a Year-End Review? - 01/25/18 11:18 AM
  Did You Conduct a Year-End Review?  For many businesspersons, the end of one year and the beginning of the next signals the need for a year-end review.  And while I always conduct such a review of my own business, I typically don't share my findings publically.    But this year, I'm going to speak of my results, as I was somewhat surprised by what I found during this annual exercise.  Very pleasantly surprised in one specific category.
