A great example of in importance of keeping focused and grounded during growth can be found in this article in the StartupJournal. During growth entrepreneurs face a multiple of decisions, each of which has the potential to make or break the business. Also, the entrepreneur must struggle to build a company that has the systems and infrastucture to support growth without at the same time eating up all of its scarce cash.
When facing growth, remember that ultimately there is only one type of growth that matters: profits. Never just chase sales for the sake of more sales. Only grow your sales if they also grow your profits. Profits will not “just happen” as you get bigger and sell more. They must be planned for and engineered into your business.
