Small business owners should have a plan for the future when their business is starting out.  Businesses that know where they want to go have a much higher probability of getting to where they want to go than those businesses that don't have a plan for the future.
So how do you ensure your business goes far?

Set Your Goals

Starting a business is a lot like constructing a building: if the building is a one story building it will require certain footings to be dug.  However, if you are going to build a 50 story building, it will require a completely different type of foundation.  How does this translate to your business?  If you want to grow your business to the point it has 100 employees and does tens of millions of dollars of sales a year you need to build a foundation in the beginning to support that type of business.

Basically, this means you need to have the business foundations in place that it would take to run a company the size of your goal company on a relative scale to where you are currently.

As with any business, there are certain aspects that need to be developed, nurtured and expanded. Make sure that your business has the following assets properly in place.
