4 Tips for Managing Your Startup Through Rapid Growth

5/3/2016

Your business is starting to grow. There are exciting opportunities for your company to soar into the stratosphere. At the same time, there are new problems that you didn't need to address when you were in the infancy stage of your business. How do you deal with these new problems and keep your business moving up and to the right.

Here are 4 tips to keep your startup running smoothly during times of growth:​
Picture
1) Learn to Manage Your Time
Time is our most valuable resource.  All we can do is manage it as best we can. Without good time management, employees will feel stressed to produce quality work in a short amount of time. This stress will create more complaints, more missed days and a likely increase in turnover. As a result, your business' productivity will decrease.
One way to manage time is through planning. Most short-term problems happen because the company doesn't have a strategic plan to keep moving forward. When your time is consumed with putting out fires and not focused on the bigger picture, business can suffer.

2) Delegate
As a corollary to time management, the ability to delegate is crucial for every entrepreneur. Most entrepreneurs believe they have to do everything on their own in order for the business to succeed. You needed to be able to wear multiple hats when you were a small start-up, but now as your business is starting to grow, the tasks start to pile up on your plate. Letting experts make these decisions will make your life easier. Hire experts smarter than you and let them go to work. As you trust your employees with more decisions and projects, they will be more likely to take ownership in the business which creates a strong culture and loyal employees.

3) Watch Your Cash Flow
Most growing pains start and end with money. As sales increase it’s important to keep a close track on your profits as well. Profits might stagnant or even decline. It’s important to not get caught up in the rush of growth and let spending get out of control. One way to control spending is implementing a good cloud-computing software throughout the organization.

4) Have Fun
At the end of the day you started this business with a dream and it’s important to keep that in mind. Life will move along, the skies will still be blue, and your life will not be over because your company missed an opportunity. Give yourself the best chance to succeed and see what happens. Take time to relax and enjoy the company that you’ve built and the employees you’ve brought in beside you.
