November and December are generally filled with reflection on the year–and planning for the coming year. So, in the spirit of this annual ritual by many business owners we’ve collected our top five blog postings thus far.

If you missed any of these goodies, take a short break from your work to catch up. Here’s our countdown:

5. Ever wonder how to compensate top employees in the long-term? They may give more than other employees–or have invested many years in the business. Either way, its time to get creative. Read the 10 Creative Ideas to Compensate Long-Term Employees.

4. The economy. It’s on the minds of most business owners, which is easy given the media attention surrounding it for the past couple months. Where’s the first place most small businesses look in a down economy? Sales. Read what our small business coaches have to say about sales.

3. As the business owner you may get pulled into the daily operations more than you’d like. But, your time is best spent working on the business–not in it. Getting a written, strategic plan is key. Get started with a few of our tips on strategic planning sessions for the whole company.

2. The vast majority of small business owners don’t have a company vision before they join TAB. Your statement tells your prospects, customers and employees where you want your company to be. It drives decisions and actions for all involved. Start to create your company vision statement.

1. There is no easy way to do this, which is probably why this article was one of your most viewed over the past few months. It’s by far one of the hardest things a business owner will ever do. Read more on how to right-size your company.

As always, we hope our blog gives you a few ideas that you can implement into your business.
