When someone asks, “do you want to scale your business?,” what does that mean to you?

What’s your initial reaction to this question? And what does that say about you and your focus as a business?

    Who the #$%@ are you?

    Why do you want to know?

    What kind of scam is this?

     

    And what does that say about you and your focus as a business?

    I am careful about who and why I reveal particulars to.

    @Rustler, I like your scepticism and I am admittedly the same way. 

     

    I am cautious of "buzz" words" and of those who use them. If it comes from a trusted source, then I am more open to the discussion - if they come from a stranger, I usually let them give their schpiel. 

     

     It's a good (great) thing to be careful.

    It's an interesting question. For many of us, significant business growth over time is hoped for but rarely planned on (or planned for!). @201192, you address this directly in your work with small-business owners. What are you hearing from your clients?

    LOVE this question @EmilyCowan and I am standing by for all of your thoughts QB Community! J.

    @201192, I chose the word "scale" very deliberately, I am curious what it means to you?

    Scaling a business means scaling ad spend , revenue, employees

    Hey @HoHuynh

     

     

    What do you think is the best order? Certainly, some steps have more dependencies than others ><.

    Definitely longevity and depth. It's important to me that the branches of my business support the core message of my brand. Not to mention profitability, that's always good.

    Profitability is LIFE @ElaineTay-TGW!! Having valued hundreds of businesses, I know first hand that profit is the key driver of business value. That’s how you grow to a million so you can someday sell for a million... or more! #profit!! WELL DONE!
