Be Prepared for Growth
| September 10th, 2007I am sure some of you have seen the credit card commercial where the owner is freaking out, talking to his partner about the growth, and ‘What if this keeps up?’ The partner says simply, that is the point. And it is, if you play your card right your business will grow, depending on your industry that could mean several things, from needing to outsource some jobs, to even directly hiring some one for a job locally. It might mean opening a retail store, a warehouse, a real office building. No matter what you are doing now, you need to determine what your ultimate goal is in the business.
Sit down with your family, or with your business partner and try to determine what the ultimate goal is, be it a certain amount of visitors, advertisers, etc. Try to determine where you want to go, and then from there, go higher, imagine what will happen after you reach your goal, will you need to hire more people? If so, are you prepared to keep track of employee time and attendance? Are you ready to purchase needed programs to keep them in line, and help your business stay in control?
Or do you see your business not growing? If that is the case, you should probably rethink the whole idea, no growth is no fun. Even blogs can grow, be it into a group blog or a authority blog, you may still need to hire on bloggers or even marketers. I have thought alot about hiring on a marketer for my blogs, someone that can handle the advertising on their own and I could just write. If I did that I would need a way to pay them for the work they do, and not over or under pay them for the quality. It is alot to consider, but will help you so much if you are prepared!
