Growth

Have you ever stopped to wonder how a small company goes from a garage to multi national, multi Billion Dollar valuation? In my studying of businesses I am constantly amazed at what specific attributes or actions took place to take the garage business to the world.


I know Sandy Solomon, the founder of Sweet Street, a company that achieved this very feat. I am impressed and complimentary to her and how she has been able to grow this company that was started in a garage to one that produces products for delivery to all over the United States and beyond the borders.


The question though, is whether there was any one thing that brought about the achievement over anything else? Is the classrooms teaching the skills and realities to the students that will assist them build the companies of the future?


I do think that small businesses are facing more and more challenges in order to compete with the mega companies in their industry, however considering this, the small business too has access to technology and market access far greater than before. I have always remembered the worlds of Robert Kiyosaki, "Businesses are there to solve problems for the market!"


I believe that growing a company from the basement or garage to main street with a global footprint is most definitely attainable now and into the future. The growth of a business is moreso dependent on various decisions made culmenating in a tidal wave pushing the company forwards!


What has contibuted to the growth of your company?
