The recent survey of 500 US small businesses shows the key obstacles that keep growing businesses from scaling internationally: * Financial limitations and scarce resources * Lack of technical expertise and gaps in knowing how to implement technology and use digital tools. Legal risks associated with this * Lack of foreign market understanding: competitor landscape, products that prospects are already using to solve their needs; market dynamics and trends; consumer behaviour… Which one is stopping you from scaling into the foreign markets faster? ????

Growing a business isn’t just challenging—it’s relentless. Recently, I’ve been involved in the marketing and business development of a company that had crossed the three-year mark. They had made serious investments, bringing in a new wave of managers and staff with high hopes for growth. Yet, instead of scaling up, profitability took a step back, and growth hit a wall. Here’s the hard truth I’ve learned over the years: getting people to know you even exist is the toughest hurdle. You can have all the resources, new faces, and fresh ideas, but if your audience doesn’t recognise your value, none of it matters. Anyone claiming their startup has “no competition” is fooling themselves. We’re all up against the same primary competitor: “I have no time for you, and I want to keep my money.” In a world saturated with choice, cutting through that resistance takes more than just a great product—it demands relentless visibility, connection, and an unshakable message that earns people’s time and trust. Persistence is the name of the game. Because in the end, growth is all about turning “I don’t have time for you” into “I’m glad I made time for you.” #businessdevelopment #marketingsupport #fractionalexpert

?????? ?????????????????? ???? ???? ?????? ??????????-???? ???????????????? ???? ???????? ??????????? Choosing to start your own business is a risk. But it is only the beginning. Post starting a business, based on your financial status, connections and back-up support, everyday decisions with varying degrees of potential risks and rewards need to be taken. It is important for founders to have the appetite of making difficult decisions to further their business and aspirations. If one is too conservative it could lead to stagnation and revenue loss to other businesses. On the contrary, risky decisions without proper forethought can lead to product, service and business burnout within the market. A key lever for founders in making sensible decision is availability of data. Access to good quality data can help assess the viability and potential of a decision. Coupled with founder’s intuition, it can help arrive at decisions that make sense to the business. #startup #founders

All Business Development is NOT Created Equal. In business development, knowing how to separate the serious from the curious isn’t just helpful—it’s critical. It’s both an art and a science of identifying the right partners, not just signing deals. ? Early-stage startups: Focus less on squeezing every dollar and more on finding the right partners who will go the distance with you. The value of a strategic relationship is often greater than immediate margins. ?? Later-stage companies: It’s a different game. Here, margins matter. You want partners who bring both value and scale to the table. A good combination of growth and financial sustainability keeps the engine running smoothly. I’ve had the opportunity to witness both the early scrappy days and the later-stage scaling efforts firsthand. Business development isn’t just about closing deals—it’s about curating the right ones for where your company stands today. Curious or serious? Partner wisely. Have I missed anything?

Fueling Growth and Innovation Every Day Today, I’m reflecting on what it takes to drive a business forward in a rapidly evolving landscape. Every entrepreneur dreams of that ‘10X growth,’ but what often goes unseen are the countless small steps, the strategic pivots, and the relentless commitment to ‘innovation.’ In my journey as a tech consultant and strategic advisor, I’ve come to see that true transformation isn’t just about having the latest tech; it’s about aligning that technology with a clear, bold vision. Whether supporting a startup from its first steps or helping an established business break through to new markets, each story is unique. That’s what keeps this journey inspiring. Let’s continue pushing boundaries, turning ideas into impact, and building businesses that redefine what's possible. After all, success isn't a destination, it’s a continuous pursuit.

Update #39 How do you spend your time? The answer to that question will reveal how successful you’ll be. The key is to spend your time on the things that matter. Sounds easy, right? Not exactly. It almost always means you aren’t doing what you’re most passionate about most of the time. Every week, I have to divide my time across three areas: 1?? Product 2?? Market (Clients) 3?? Investors Here’s my golden rule: Time spent with the market must exceed time spent on product and investors—combined. Why? This keeps me from spending too much time in my comfort zone—building product (did I mention how much I love doing this?). Listening to what clients need regularly AND understanding why they need it will allow us to deliver a solution customers can’t fathom living without—and that’s where startups thrive. The hard truth is that we often retreat to what’s comfortable, so you have to intentionally manage your time, set up a system that keeps you focused on exactly the right things, and watch great things happen. Thank you Lorenzo Azar Madison Forman ARJUN BHAYBHANG Cade Scroggins for building beautiful products every day and freeing me up to listen and learn.
