Even Success Comes With A Price



Every entrepreneur dreams of growing his/her business, of reaching that "place" they dreamed about as they feverishly worked to get their venture up and running. It may be an enterprise of just one person, you, toiling night and day to bring your dream to reality. Or perhaps it is 2 or 3 people, bonded in their collective vision, driving the business with passion and purpose.

 
And then, lo and behold, IT HAPPENS! Something clicks and suddenly you're racing around looking for more space, interviewing several people to join the team, and it's exhilarating, and exciting, and yes, even exhausting. The spirit of the beginning days is suddenly replaced by a fleshed-out, real organization, with important roles to play. And it needs to be done right.

 
So, YES, we welcome success and everything that comes with it. But let's also always remember we need a Plan, so we don't REACT to events, but PROACTIVELY move forward in a manner that insures that growth will be managed, that clients and customers will be served with the same, if not improved dedication, and the whole team functions like a symphony orchestra, in harmony, and in tune.


SCORE is a great place to get that Plan reviewed, evaluated, tweaked, whatever, so that when success does come, you are ready for it. Have you considered meeting with a SCORE Counseling Team? We're ready if you are.
