5 STEPS EVERY STARTUP LEADER SHOULD TAKE TO SUCCEED
1. GAIN A COMPETITIVE EDGE
Innovative and forward-thinking startup leaders who focus on the future of the company rather than relying on the past, have a better chance of getting ahead of the competition. Whereas traditionally managed companies whose sole concern is to protect themselves may lose out to companies who have explored ways to improve their organization.
2. STRATEGIZE AND ANALYZE
These future-focused companies also use a method called prescriptive analytics to get a better idea of how the company's future will be affected by today's decisions. By predicting the likely outcome based on current decisions being made, it improves the decision-making process and encourages the organization to work toward success and make strategic moves and plans.
3. HAVE MULTIPLE SOURCES OF REVENUE
Having multiple ways to earn and increase revenue is another key to success. The typical revenue model is known as the 80-20 rule, which means 80 percent of revenue comes from 20 percent of products and services. However, when you have diversified revenue streams, by adding new products and services so that revenue is coming from multiple angles and markets, your company is less likely to go under due to a bad quarter of profits in one market or stream.
4. INVEST IN EMPLOYEES
Human beings are an essential part of any successful business. Companies who recognize the significance of their employees and foster the growth and development of their workers will see greater productivity.
5. PLAN AHEAD FOR THE FUTURE
Strategic Planning starts with creating scenarios and planning them out, it's a great way to get ahead of obstacles and challenges that may come along and is something successful, forward-thinking startup leaders do all the time. Making detailed projections for the future and being well-prepared for uncertainties, no matter the unlikelihood.
