Five ways to protect your reputation as you grow

Five ways to protect your reputation as you grow

You’ve built up a good reputation. You don’t want to lose it.

To achieve good strong profits for the long haul, you need to grow. Win bigger and better projects. Be able to command higher prices.

Unfortunately, as you grow, it can be hard to keep control. If staff are messing up jobs, fixing mistakes can be costly. When work is not done to your standards, it gets stressful, clients get let down, and it’s your reputation on the line.

Here’s how to protect it:

1. Keep the main thing, the main thing

2. Deliver exactly what you say you will

3. Don’t cut all the ropes

4. Stack the odds in your favour

5 The faster you go, the bigger the mess
