Five Reasons to Keep Your Business Small

  • Five Reasons to Keep Your Business Small

By Mary Cantando1 Comment

OK, I call myself a “Growth Expert.” And my mission is to help women build multimillion-dollar businesses while living the lives of their dreams. But when I started my current business over ten years ago, I intentionally decided to keep it small. Here are reasons why you also might want to keep your business small.  

Five Reasons to Keep Your Business Small

  1. A small business gives you the freedom to implement new ideas quickly. After writing The Woman’s Advantage, I immediately developed a workbook by the same name and then The Woman’s Advantage Shared Wisdom Calendar. Because my business is small, I can develop new products on the fly, try them out, and either ramp them up or shut them down. (I’m now working on The Woman’s Advantage Journal.)

  2. A small business allows you to make mistakes quickly and quietly. The vendor I worked with on our first calendar was less than ideal. I swallowed that and moved to a new vendor who has delivered an A+ product for four years running. (Check out www.FamousMarks.com )

  3. A small business allows you to escape from unnecessary internal meetings. I discuss key issues with my Yellow Lab, Sonar, on walks by the lake. And I always follow his advice.

  4. A small business lets you connect intimately with customers. When you call or email my business, you get me! 

  5. A small business allows you to respond to the changing needs of customers or employees. Without cumbersome procedures or formal chains of command, things happen as quickly as I want.

Five Beliefs That Will Take You Far in Life

I’ve often been referred to as a “Pollyanna” because I really believe that no matter what you’ve got going on in your life, you can make it truly great. I’m not saying that it is easy to make it great, but if you make that decision and are willing to work on the changes required, I believe that anyone can have a great life.

Here are five concepts that can move you in that direction.
