What determines business growth?
Some factors that affect business growth are the entrepreneur's drive to succeed, their knowledge of the industry they are in, and how they allocate resources. For example, my Tourism business was forced to close because of the pandemic, while my Procurement business thrived! Now, as numbers are going down around the world, the Tourism business is set to thrive again.
In order for a company to succeed, they need an entrepreneur with drive, knowledge of the industry they have chosen, and an understanding of how to allocate resources.
Business growth is a complex process that depends on many different factors. To grow your business, you need to know what you want from your business and how you can achieve it.
When you start a new business, it's important to know what you want to get out of it. Do you want a full-time job, or are you looking for a side project? What are your long-term goal and short-term objective? By answering these questions, you can better determine how to grow your business and move closer to that goal.
