Change and Growth

I just read an interesting article written by Key Erb titled, "Change Is Inevitable ... But Growth Is Optional." Her theme was that change happens, but not necessarily growth, and she hit on a few related topics like performance management, wealth management and business growth.

Her Questions

One of her questions struck home to a lot of threads I read every day on different forums, and that was, "Are we properly capitalized to achieve our strategy? Followed by, "Are we properly organized to achieve our strategy?"

My Perception

My perception is that an awful lot of start ups, cross industry, are not properly capitalized or organized. This is especially true in web hosting, where for pennies on the dollar, you can throw a website up against the wall - but will it stick? In reality, many don't, so we hear horror stories of lost data and clients - over and over and over. This reinforces the need to do your homework, formulate a viable plan and then execute on that plan.

If You're a Client

If you're a client searching for a host, select a host based on the value of your own business, and on the value of your time. Not everyone needs 10TB of bandwidth, or servers with 16GB of RAM.

If You're a Provider

If you're a provider, stuff like performance management, wealth management and business growth needs to be addressed. Paraphrased, Kay Erb says this equates to opportunities to run your business more effectively, efficiently and profitably.
