Scalability is the essence of taking what you have and multiplying it. How can you do more with less? Technology companies are scalable because they can take one product built by a few and sell the same product time and again to many.
In building a company there are many resources including time, money and labor; the secret is using all resources efficiently to maximize the company’s value.
Next time you need to make a business decision think what is the best resource to use. Then figure out how to repeat that — it is like a math. If this resource gains this result, can I somehow find the factor that makes that resource multiply that result. For example, many supermarkets have lines where customers wait to pay. Putting various “small ticket” items in view of those lines increases the purchase total of the same customer who was standing there, for many of them will toss some of those small-ticket items, things they had no intention of buying originally, into their basket.
Look around your business and see what can be added here or there that would use your current operations wisely, while still upping your profits. This will help you scale your business.
