Did you know…fewer than 100 of the companies in the S&P 500 today were around when the index started in 1957?
“Corporate bureaucracy is becoming obsolete,” according to a Wall Street Journal article. “Managers should act like venture capitalists.” Better yet, act like entrepreneurs and business owners.
Now that you’re feeling a bit superior about your maverick ways bring yourself back to reality with a few questions:
- Is your marketing and advertising part of your small business growth plan?
- Are you getting the results you want?
- How will you improve your marketing ROI in the coming year?
Businesses grow into the Fortune 500 because they take time to plan then take steps to grow toward their goals.
Small businesses should do that too. But the day-to-day constraints of running a business can push planning to the back burner. Before you know it, next year is here. By default, you’ll do the same thing you’ve always done and hope to get the same results you’ve always gotten (if you’re lucky).
