“Have you ever thought about growing your business, but the idea just seemed too daunting? The other day one of my clients told me that he had been considering expanding his business for quite some time, but when push came to shove, he repeatedly gave up on the idea. When I asked why, my client said that while the prospect of growing his business was exciting, it was also very overwhelming. He didn’t know where to begin and wasn’t sure how to develop a strategy to sustain growth.
I gave my client the following 5 tips that I believe are vital to successfully growing any business:
5 Tips For Successfully
Growing Any Business
- Grow wisely
All too often, business owners try to grow their companies too fast and focus solely on the growth itself. It’s important to remember not to neglect your customers, business expenses, employees, and the quality of your products and services during the process. - Plan ahead
Sustainable growth is the result of meticulous planning. The most successful small business owners don’t become medium to large business owners overnight. If you want your company to flourish, assess where you are now, review your objectives, and lay out a 1-year, 2-year and 5-year plan for your growth. You may encounter obstacles that you didn’t foresee, so create the blueprints for how you will handle unexpected glitches along the way. And remember to consistently reevaluate your plan! (See tip #3 below.) - Be flexible
Your growth strategy should be constantly evolving. Because circumstances change, industries change, and technology is always advancing be open to new ideas and to modifying your strategy. - Invest in a great team
It may take time to find the perfect team prior to growing your company, but it is well worth it. Having a team of people who are trustworthy, passionate and responsible and who will grow with your company will make a world of difference in the long run. - Know what you are good at and stick to it
While it is a good idea to diversify your product or service offerings, don’t lose sight of what brought you success in the first place. All too often, business owners get tempted to expand their product lines too broadly with offerings that don’t align with their company’s strengths. Focus on what your company has had success with and start there when considering products and services to add. Trying to do everything will leave you accomplishing nothing!
By staying organized, remaining flexible, having a great team by your side, and taking the time to create a strategic plan, you will set yourself up for success.
