Turning a small biz into a BIG one is thrilling…and fraught with challenges. Here’s how to be strategic, not reckless.
- Processes are Your Protection: What worked when it was just you won’t cut it as you add people.
- Delegate, Don’t Abdicate: Hire great people, then trust them! Micromanaging stifles growth.
- Incremental Expansion: New markets, new products…test thoroughly before betting huge sums.
- Systems Over Superstars: A biz reliant on a few irreplaceable people is a fragile one to scale.
- Cash is KING, Especially Now: Growth sucks up cash. Have funding lined up BEFORE you need it.
- Your Role Shifts: Less doing the work, more building infrastructure and leading the team. Embrace it!
Scaling requires a different mindset. Do it strategically to achieve sustainable, long-term growth.
