  *Keep Your Ears Open For Customer Reaction 

      Customers will talk, customers will always talk.  What they say about the service you are providing will in no small way determine the growth.  At this point in time,  not every publicity is good publicity and if you intend to make yourself the "go to guy" when a need is to be met, you'll need the right kind of noise to be made about your business.  This is where listening for customer reaction comes into play. Listen to the "I wish you did this" of the customer.  It is an indicator of the steps you need to take to move your business to the next level.

     *Focus On Blazing The Trail As Much As Being The Best

     As much as the idea for the business probably started in your head,  you have to keep in mind that no idea under the sun is new and someone else probably has had the same idea as you.  Your focus should be on being the best in your field to eliminate future competition. Pioneering doesn't necessarily mean you are the first in a business,  sometimes it is better to be second and learn from the mistakes others before you have made . Take Google for instance,  it was certainly not the first search engine around but by far the most efficient. Speed should not come at the expense of quality. 

     *Spread Your Tentacles, Explore Multiple Markets 

     People will generally move towards a well known brand.  The fact that you are first at something doesn't mean other brands can't come in and make more of a name than you have.  Take Uber and Left for instance.  Outside the US, Uber is known more than Lyft simply because Uber has expanded overseas. Make yourself a behemoth that cannot be ignored by building your brand not just in one place but in multiple markets.

     * Be Efficient And Stay Efficient 

     What's a brand without a name? What's a name without reliability?  These are two questions you should ponder on.  Efficiency is the most salient of all the points to be made today.  You want the right kind of noise,  yes? , then you most definitely do not want your name to be linked to inefficient products.  A good name they say is better than gold and silver.  Don't just be efficient, stay efficient.
