Small Business Dilemma

By: Beau Graves

In the business world they are many different ways that you can do things, many different strategies that work.  Some entrepreneurs will tell you “The way I grew and built my business is the best way to go big� everyone has their own opinion on the subject, well here is mine.

From what I have seen of the corporate world, and in the small business world there are many different types of entrepreneurs, and some of them are really good at what they do, and some of them just aren’t cut out to be business owners. I have worked for a few small businesses, that I have either lost my job because there is no more work, because the owner has too much greed, or the owner decides that he does not like the way that the manager is running  it after 25 years, and then the business folds because it knows no other way. In either case, I feel that they have succeeded to that point because they had been small enough that the business had a chance to grow on its own, before it got huge to fast.

Some industry’s can be different , I do agree, but too often I have seen business that start running before they have mastered crawling. In the beginning stages of most companies is when you will have the most growth, and bonding through the administration. I feel that it takes time to make a company work , and to get things set into stone, so that everything that you do is very uniform, and you set a foundation to come back to if you ever waiver from it, through the years of the companies life.

In some cases this theory will never need to apply because they will never see more then 2-3 employees, but still in that case, things do apply to them as well, with making sure that you set a good foundation to work off of, and always making sure that you are doing things in the companies best interests, to keep it going, otherwise it will flop.
