Think Big; Act BoldNo — this doesn’t mean delusional daydreaming. Yes have a vison board BUT , DON’T just sit there and ‘think’ about it.

You have to take bold action. Surround yourself with the right team, mentors and connections; build strategies to reach your ‘big thoughts’, then pull the trigger.

Step 2

Always Evaluate Financing Options For ExpansionWhether you want to expand your employee base, buy a new facility or develop a new product, one of the key elements in taking a company to the next level is knowing the kind of capital you need to support that growth.

Have you considered building your business credit? It is never to early!

Step 3

Hiring People

(and the right people, at that).

I know that even mentioning the word “employees” can leave a bad taste for some

business owners, because all they see is the annual salary being shoveled out of

their accounts or the petty squabbles in the break room.

Dealing with difficulty is why you make the big bucks. If you feel that no one can do

it as good as you, or you always seem to end up with a bad team, I have some hard,

no BS truth for you: It’s not the employees. It’s your leadership skills. Learn to hire

the support you need so you can actively work toward achieving your business

goals.

Step 4 Utilizing Systems And Processes To Be

SuccessfulThe two main reasons entrepreneurs have a difficult time managing people is a lack of leadership skills (as we discussed above) and a lack of systems. Once you have a solid team in place, you have to make sure they have the tools they need to get the job done.It is nearly impossible for someone to be a good employee when all the info on how they should do their job is locked in your head, so you must have a system in place to communicate your ideas, needs, and goals.

Step

5

Investing In Customer Retention.

If your plan is growth, it must include an investment

in retention. If you don’t focus on this area of your

business, you will most definitely be leaving money

on the table.

Step 6Be Visible

Do you have a brand?

Social network?

How many contacts a day

do you make?

Are you consistent?

Step 7Work On

Your

Business,

Not In It

You are in charge of

the big picture. When

you see areas that

need improvement,

delegate the work out,

so you can continue to

be the troubleshooter

and visionary that you

need to be. It may take

some practice if you're

used to getting really

hands on in your

business, but your

employees will

appreciate the trust

and responsibility you

give them, and you will

quickly learn that you

can do the job of

leading your business

that no one else can

do!

PREPARE FOR

CHANGE

Scaling means change. That should be

obvious, but it’s a truth that can be hard

to put into practice during the growth

process.
