    1. Plan now for a rainy day: We can’t tell you enough about the importance of a steady cash flow, but what you may not consider is taking the time now during your busy season to plan for any slower months to come. Applying for a line of credit or business loan before you’re in trouble will save you from scrambling to pay for things in the future when cash isn’t flowing. Telhio Credit Union offers an array of both lines of credit and business loans that will give your business peace of mind when cash is tight.

    2. Learn to delegate: As a small business owner, learning how and what to delegate is critical to your success. Do you find yourself struggling to complete payroll or come up with creative social media campaigns each month? Consider passing these tasks along to an employee or hiring an outside professional. Focusing on what you do best, running your business, will not only save you time and stress each month, but will ultimately better your business as a whole.

    3. Complete a yearly review: As 2015 wraps up, now is the time to complete your yearly review. I’m sure you set goals at the beginning of 2015 – did you achieve them? If not, is your business still striving for those same goals, or have they changed? Take the time to consider what your business did successfully this year and plan your goals for 2016 around those accomplishments. Also, identify your problem areas and strive to find ways you can do better in the New Year.
