Hoskin would visit nearly a dozen different Canadian homes, moving about Ontario and Quebec before arriving in the "more cultured, more civilised" Vancouver. He became a Canadian citizen and continued to create books, each one more absurd than the last. Rampa allegedly flew as an air ambulance pilot in World War II, evaded capture and torture, and fled a prison camp near Hiroshima on the day the bomb was dropped. In Vancouver, Hoskin stayed in a West End hotel. According to his secretary's self-published memoir, he liked the waterfront vistas but found Vancouver difficult to navigate. He couldn't recreate The Third Eye's success; it had been difficult to find a home that could accommodate his cats, and health difficulties required the use of a wheelchair in an inhospitable metropolis. Hoskin became more reclusive as his writings expanded to include aliens, prophecies about future conflicts, and previously unreported escapades of Christ. Hoskin moved again, this ti...
Start by writing down your strengths and tactics that work. What's making you so successful right now? Find the most important parts, whether they're a great marketing strategy, a great product, or great customer service. Once you have that list, think about how you can make those things more important to more people. Scaling isn't always about making something new; sometimes it's just about making something faster and better.Now,
I'd like to tell you a story from my own business journey
I learned the value of relationships when I was starting up my small tech company. I joined forces with a business in the same field that was a good fit for me. We worked together and shared information, tools, and clients. It not only cut costs but also made growth possible in new ways. So, my friend, don't be afraid to look into working together and forming relationships. There are times when the key to growth is right in front of you, waiting to be added to your business recipe.That's a wonderful question. It's also a key part of my progress. Except for when I was Trustee, I've had to grow almost every business I've run.
Right now I'm working as a kind of COO for a Managing Principal at a company that will more than double in size this year, going from 80 employees at the end of 2017 to 170 or more by the end of the year.We began this project in late 2016, and the first thing we did was carefully consider what caused the business to grow in the first place. That was the first time the company had a lot of control over the things that helped it grow.
In this case the business talks to customers directly and spends about 85% of its time doing so
On its own, this is strange because most businesses do the opposite. This was a fun task on its own.First, you look at "what if?" situations to see how causes and effects work in the whole business. If we hire more people for sales, what will happen? Tell me about marketing. Where do our clients come from? When we talked to this client about growth, we thought about how to add more people who brought in more business.
This is a very important hint. This has helped me a lot over the years. When you learn to speed skate, ski, or ride a motorbike, the first thing they teach you is to look where you want to go. When you look at pictures of motorbike races, you can see that every rider is looking ahead to their turn. In business, the same thing takes place. You need to think about where you want to go. This is something I can't stress enough. Chances will not appear unless you actively seek them!!!
It's sometimes hard to understand why some businesses grow while others in the same field just flop around
I'm sure it has to do with where they are looking.To scale up, you need to think about all the things that will make you need to scale up. It's just a simple case of cause and effect. It is all about making plans for growth ahead of time. It takes a lot of thought.We knew that our workers were bringing in new business in this case because they were good at what they did. It's a simple idea, but when you hire high-value people that customers like, those customers come back to you, which leads to even more growth. Our business grows faster when more people want to hire us. After that, operations had to be planned for such fast growth, which included a recent move to a much bigger place.
We spent a lot of money on that space, but also great people come to it. Who would want to work in a dump? Just take some time to think about your workspace and make it a fun place to be. You should find other fun things to do if you don't have the money.I was asked to help because of where I was in 2015. That's why this client called me—at the time, we won the #1 best place to work award. He knew very well that if he created a great atmosphere, customers would come to him. To get and keep great employees, you need to be a great place to work. Having great employees helps you grow. That kind of skill is important if you want to build a great business. It's not possible with duds. Make sure you pay them well!
It starts with hiring people who can do jobs above and beyond their current one if you want to grow. What we mean by this is "hiring with headroom." We hire people based on their potential to move up in the company instead of hiring people who will be stuck in the job they were hired for. Over time, this also lets us train people up and give them experience so they know who and what to hire below them as they move up, always keeping space in mind. You'll be shocked at how much this affects growth on its own.
