When you are ready to scale up your business, you will require a different approach and some different skills than you needed when you were in the business start-up phase. To make this transition successfully a mindset shift is critical. This is when you need to take that bootstrapping hat off and change your frame of mind from “I can (and should) do it all” to “where can I best invest to grow?”. Taking your business to a new level shouldn’t equal exhaustion if you are doing things efficiently. Today Stephanie is sharing tips on how to grow a business in small and big ways while ensuring that you’re taking care of yourself and your customers.
