#1. Hire the right team
You need two things to run and scale your small business. First, you need to hire the right team so that you can delegate tasks. You cannot scale your business doing everything by yourself. Second, focus on acquiring more customers. You want customers with substance, so start hunting for big game and not those customers that will distract you.

#2. Solve your customers’ problems.
The importance of providing real value to your customers cannot be overstated. Solving your customers’ problems makes it much easier to scale your business. Once you are able to meet the needs of a customer, the customer will in turn use word of mouth to refer you to their friends, associates, and family members.
