"The thing I really care about is the mission; making the world open" – Mark Zuckerberg.


Majority of successful business did create a focus point from on set and worked through the map. Fulfilling your business purpose - the reason is because your entrepreneurship spirit dwells there, it is the heart of the business, the core.

The mission of the business is one major reason while small business exists, if you eventually grow at the expense of forgetting that mission, then that business will be short lived. Therefore, hold truth to your business mission, it's sure the sole pre-requisite to business success.

A challenging vision will do it

Too many big businesses today were borne out of huge challenges, which did aid to forge out a vision. The breed of vision you develop can determine how fast you intend to grow in the speed of time plus your target level. Set challenging goals that will give you need to work out from that comfort zone and do something pretty cool, and never seen.

Challenging vision

Whatever and were ever you are, never permit factors to lure you into creating a dormant vision, try hard to develop a challenging vision that will put you in typical cogitation that generates prowess in time value. When a business team is ruled by a challenging vision, consequently, everybody will be compelled to come up with optimum strategies that will help grow the business organically, even better than average industrial growth rate. So you know what now? Set a challenging business goal, it will go a long way.


Recreate a strong business team


"Bringing together the right information with the right people will dramatically improve a company's ability to develop and act on strategic business opportunities" – Bill Gates

Growing a business to max simply means the best and right people need to be pinpointed at an oily position, i.e. reposition or recreating your team.

Secluding and delegating duties to your team based on strength and weakness is a huge factor for swift and afoot growth. Put off sentimentality and lay off anyone who's too weak to get even a least thing done. A strong business is very essential to your business growth.

Strengthen the business internally: "The most important espied issue is often not technical but cultural. It is convincing everyone that the company's survival depends on everyone moving as fast as possible" – Bill Gates

It's no doubt that every fresh entrepreneur does want to grow externally at first so as to attract a sense of prestige. But more indispensable than external growth, is internal growth. A lot of businesses have failed because of huge success, they grew too big and couldn't sustain the pace; they adjusted and died. Early business growth tactics is to first improve your bottom line; strengthen your employee's effectiveness as well as machines efficiency. This should lead you into automating your business process; at the moment a business effectively succeeds internally everything external goes absolutely seamless.

Mind the cash flow: "The most important word in the world of money is cash flow. The second most important word is leverage" – Rich Dad

Of course, you should know that cash flow is, and will always remain the bloodline of business. You should take to note of every kobo spent while growing on a lean budget. Know your numbers and above all your financial position should always be upstairs.


Customer care, the best solution to swift business growth

Whilst you're on the internal growth circuit, you should take proper care of your customers and encourage word of mouth. At the point you fail to realize that customers are the main reason you're in business you fail automatically; i.e. always make sure they're not ignored in your growth process.

Persuade your team to get as much customers and keep as much as they can. More importantly encourage your existing customers to help advertise your product or services. In case you are not aware, Amazon grew basically on word of mouth and to say, they're a multi-billion dollar company as of this moment.


Evaluate employee performances on timely basis

Never give any chance to incompetency and waste as much as evaluating your employee's performance rate at regular intervals and any employee that doesn't meet your standard should be fired.

"Generally I like other people to fire because it's always a lousy task. But I’ve fired many people" – Donald Trump


Seek for reasonable partnership deal

"Our success has really been based on partnerships from the very beginning" – Bill Gates


Over the years successful companies like Microsoft, Google and a whole lot of other sectional companies grew via the aid of strategic alliance. Therefore, such a style would be pretty cool while remaining small. Look within your vicinity first, to form reasonable and strategic partnership and if you can't find any; create one.


The core first, then followed by outsource

Above all, never forget outsourcing. Outsourcing is one cool means also. If there's any secret of growing a small business then it's outsourcing. It helps you grow in the outside world but then remain lean from inside. With the rate at which business is changing, it's now possible to operate a million dollar company from just a small office using the power of outsourcing. Every business has a core. So find your core, focus on it and outsource the rest.

Lastly, always re-invest your profit to grow your small business the more as well as sticking to the process. Building a successful business can never be achieved over the night; it will consume a lot of time, skills, experience and of course money.

Through to the end of the process, you need to see the big picture of where you are heading to; you need to envision the end point of that process.

Tip: as you grow, never forget to follow through with innovation; it is what keeps you going and produce huger buck in the long run.
