What is Business Growth?
While superficially obvious, business growth is about more than just increasing revenue or profitability. It includes your mission, business model, metrics for success, organizational structure, culture, and accountability, individual mindset strength and resilience, to name some of the principle areas that business growth involves.
Case Studies of Business Growth
Business growth includes cases such as:
- With a professional background and passion for videography, James felt the entrepreneurial itch. From early on, he was able to apply his skills as a videographer and editor, and he measured business growth early on in his freelance career as having a full schedule each week. Then he realized he could scale his business by teaching people how to use video to connect with prospects and teach others through online courses, and he measured business growth by the number of students he served, and then later by lifetime customer value as his business growth developed. Today, James Wedmore leads a completely different type of organization, grosses over $10 million annually, and has updated metrics for business growth.
- Steve Jobs, a college dropout, who along with his high school friend Steve Wozniak, created Apple the name of its flagship product line in the late 1970s as well as the company known by that name today. Jobs envisioned the Mac, the iPod, and the iPhone, and continued to provide the spark that fueled the personal computer revolution for more than three decades until his untimely death on October 5, 2011, due to neuroendocrine cancer.
- Elon Musk is a business growth legend, having created a company that was the predecessor to PayPal, went on to found Tesla Automotive, Tesla Energy, and Tesla Space, among others. He is a visionary who knows how to not just found companies, but to navigate them through the turbulent growth phases successfully.
