The process of growing your business or making it more successful is referred to as "scaling." And while scaling a business has many factors that can influence its success, there are some effective practices that will help you ensure you're doing it right.
First, learn to delegate. If you're overwhelmed with tasks that others could do, look into hiring assistance or outsourcing certain projects. Then, focus on what the core of your business is and what you do best and let others take care of the rest.
Second, get organized and set benchmarks for yourself and your team. Writing out a plan for how to expand and create clear goals will help your employees feel more engaged and motivated—plus, having benchmarks will give you something to measure against when evaluating your methods and performance.
Third, if you're looking to invest in new technology, start small and build up. Integrating new tech into your business is a lot like renovating: you don't want to rip out all the drywall before making sure the plumbing works properly first. Instead, test trial versions of software tools before making a big commitment. Additionally, make sure that any platforms or applications you use are compatible with each other so that you can easily collaborate across departments or teams.
