We welcome 2017 with optimism – albeit cautiously – and look forward to the opportunities that change will undoubtedly bring. They say that you need to look back in order to move forward, so with that we present our top 21 articles of 2016, including our new year’s forecast. Each had the highest amount of views and shares from our subscribers—and will provide a good deal of useful information to see your way into the new year.
We haven’t included DoL update-specific pieces because even though their views were some of the highest we’ve seen, quite frankly, I think we’ve all heard enough until the next shoe drops. Feel free to view those right on our website.
Start the year off right by focusing on what’s most important: your future…your goals…your best business life.
