Growth is a beautiful thing That’s why almost every entrepreneur is looking for new ways to grow their business.
Growth brings in customers. Customers bring in sales. And sales increase the size and likelihood of profits.
On top of the financial benefits, growth is good for the ego. Growth often attracts a lot of public attention, admirers, and media recognition.
But when most people think of growth, they think of more marketing, more advertising, better branding, and more sales.
They think of Instagram and Facebook ads, or how to get more links through LinkedIn or get featured in a popular magazine or television show.
Did you know?
What many entrepreneurs don’t realize is that growth can actually kill a business if it’s not done right.
I have seen it happen several times.

And all of a sudden… “BOOM!” … it crashes.
