Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience with your small business, there’s no substitute for a comprehensive, comprehensible growth strategy. If you’ve been around the entrepreneurial block, you know that growing your business involves far more than simply saying, “Let’s build more widgets right away!” Even if you’re sitting on top of the hottest product or service around, there will come a day when the temperature will drop. (Remember Pet Rocks, anyone?) A growth strategy focuses on building and expanding your business over the long term, taking into account your market, your resources and your overall goals.
Putting together a comprehensive growth strategy is a tall order—and the perfect time to call in some small business help. It involves strategic thinking and strategic planning. At some point in the process, someone who isn’t a part of your company or your circle of friends should take a look at your long-term growth plans and help you put them in perspective. Better yet, that someone should be helping you put your growth strategy together from the start.
