Size

Does size matter?

Being smaller than when first started, it was easier to ignore the structuring of the business model, support, and infrastructure. Small can be better as you are more nimble, can make U-turns, have fewer people to consult for everything, and less administrative nightmares to handle many things but as the business grows, you have to evolve to fit the needs of the people, products, and processes.

麻雀虽小，五脏俱全 (Small as it is, the sparrow has all the vital organs.)

You will encounter an increasing number of challenges that require effective management. These include rising operational expenses, which encompass higher costs for rent, utilities, supplies, and staffing.

Additionally, maintaining high-quality customer service becomes crucial as your customer base grows, necessitating the implementation of systems to handle increased interactions.

You will also need to adjust your pricing structure to remain competitive while ensuring profitability in the face of fluctuating costs and market conditions.

By anticipating these challenges and preparing accordingly, businesses can position themselves for continued success, leveraging effective planning, resource allocation, and strong leadership to manage growth and maintain a competitive edge.
