6. Create or Update contracts you use

7. Do a year-end analysis of what you did well and what could have been better

8. Plan out when your legal filings are due and put them on your calendar for the year

9. Review the images on your website; get a subscription to stock photo site or use quality free sites like unsplash, new old stock, death to the stock photo, good free photos (owner of site shares pix), stocksnap.io, gratisography (Ryan McGuire of Bells Design), Life of Pix (LEEROY creative agency)

10. Create Guest Blogger guidelines or agreements

The interview ran about an hour, but there was just too much great stuff we didn't want to stop!
