Growth - Do You Plan For It?

We’re wrapping up another year and starting a new one. This is when people start making plans for next year including all the outlandish resolutions that everyone knows will likely not happen. I don’t do new years resolutions for that reason. But we are creating new plans and a new mission statement for our business.

Expansion

This coming year we are expanding our business coaching services beyond leadership and team development. It’s time. As we grow personally, we need to grow in our business. That’s the time to expand what we do as a business. And our expansion will help others grow their businesses.

Have you ever been in a small town where the people resisted growth? I grew up in a town like that north of Dallas Texas. For years they resisted population growth, new roads, new business and city planning. And now that the surrounding small towns have embraced the growth, that growth went to them. They planned for it and welcomed it. Now those other little towns are cities with growing affluent populations, good schools, nice roads and great business opportunities.

A business can and will find itself in that same situation eventually. When you come to that point you have to make a decision. You have to plan for the growth that is coming anyway or resist it and have chaotic growth in your business.

You can choose to stay where you are. But remember this.

“If you’re not growing you’re dying.”

Jim Rohn

Why

Growth takes a lot of time and effort. It’s hard work. If you choose to not grow then why are you in business? Why do you invest? Why do you look for ways to create wealth? If you choose to not grow then you may as well quit your business and move on.

Why would I say such a thing? Sounds a little harsh. I say that because the reason you have a business in the first place is people need you. They need what you provide. You give them value and you solve their problems. Whatever it is you provide, if your business is calling you to grow that means the need for you and your business is growing.

Don’t let uncontrolled growth turn your business into something overwhelming. When that happens growth slows and you get stuck.

Growth is necessary. Plan for it and guide it along. Use coaches, consultants, mastermind groups, whatever it takes to grow and make your business a joy to be a part of. Start planning for next year now. There is no need to wait until the first week of January. And next year start even earlier.

I hope everyone has a merry Christmas and a happy Hanukkah!

Learning And Relearning To See May 1, 2026 Early in life we are taught to make a plan. Decide what you want to do and plan your career. But those lifelong plans rarely work out the way we initially intended. I went through several businesses with a “plan” for each one to be a huge success. Life has a funny way of changing plans. Today if you tried to make a 20 year plan it would be pointless, especially if it’s a business plan. What happened? Technology happened. And it is summed up by this...

Business Lessons From Birds April 24, 2026 Business Lessons From Birds Last year I gave my wife a bird feeder for her birthday(her request). Since then we’ve been watching many types of birds coming to our patio to eat. Ericka puts out fresh food in the morning and they stop in to eat throughout the day. Yesterday morning she was a little late coming downstairs. I called up to her and told her she had customers lining up for breakfast. The birds were sitting on the railing and on the feeder...

Letting Go April 17, 2026 Time For A Change? I read something in Russell Brunson’s YouTube community this morning that is a topic that has been on my mind for a while. Sometimes holding onto something can cause more damage than letting it go. As entrepreneurs we tend to add new things on but we don’t let go of anything. We hang on to businesses that clearly aren’t going to work because we think “I’ll just try this one thing more to see if that helps.” Maybe it’s something simple like that 4...
