3. Tips for Managing Business Growth
Among the many tips that can be offered on effectively
managing the growth of your business, three in particular
stand out as good advice.

4. 1. Plan ahead
It sounds straightforward enough, but some CEOs get so
caught up in the excitement of growth in the moment that
they forget to guard against the future. Be clear about
financial goals, and lay out how you will staff new positions.
Create a contingency plan as well.

5. 2. Cede Control
Your business is your baby, but you cannot do it all. Utilize
the talents of your colleagues and delegate responsibilities
as needed. A culture of trust breeds success.

6. 3. Stick to your core values
As your business grows, you are tasked with listening to
more and more points of view, whether they come from
customers, coworkers, or critics. Remind yourself of your
vision and your core audience, and continue to deliver on
those commitments.
