I own a dance company where I teach engaged couples how to dance for their wedding. With as much web promotion as I've done, all of my clients have come from word of mouth - which comes from the wedding planners and venues I've given cards to, as well as other satisified couples. It could take just one good contact to help take your bussiness forward.
Thanks for the advice on growing your business some of the advice was important for me to take note of.
Network, network, network.
15 minutes per day of social networking goes along ways if you keep up with it.
Great tips Rich,
So often we get so caught up in looking out for number one (ourselves) that we forget about the business and spiritual benefits of giving back to someone else. I love how you add the benefits of why we, as business people should do each one! I have experienced great benefits, personally, from learning from others in my field. I guess they are competitors, but they are also potential friends, and for sharing with those who I can mentor as well. http://tinyurl.com/76xmpkw
This is really an informative shared.
Build scalability into everything to capture growth opportunities while mitigating risk. When talking about scalability, cloud computing usually comes to mind. But we’ve found that scalability can apply to many aspects of your business: Wages, rent, and equipment, to name a few. For example, if you hire two part time employees instead of one full time employee, when it comes time to make a full-time hire, you already have two potentially well-groomed candidates. Also make use of contractors that can be called upon if you get a surge in business. When you rent office space, find out about renting adjacent space and maybe even put something about expansion in your lease. Lease rather than buy equipment, and negotiate the price of upgrading to the bigger model ahead of time. If business suddenly ebbs, you can go back to where you were before instead of closing the doors.
This is really a nice information that how we can promote our business and increase their brands in the market thank you for sharing such a useful information.................
It is so important to have a website for your business. Even if you are in the service industry.
No one hardly ever looks in the yellow pages anymore. Those books are used for toddlers who can't reach to eat at the table, so they sit on them. 
No really, it is vital to have a website. It is also very vital to make sure you have correct keywords on your website so you can be found easily on Google.
Also put your website and business in Google Maps. This is another way I would get a lot of interest into my cleaning business. People close to you in your area will find you this way when they search Google.
Also make sure that your website is professional looking. It drives me crazy when I see an un-professional looking website! First impressions are everything!
I have had so many clients tell me they hired me because my website was professional and I looked like I had my act together.
So my advice is:
1. Website presence
2. Correct keywords
3. Google maps
4. Be as professional looking as you can on your website.
5. Have a contact form on your website so they can email you.
(many people are too lazy to call anymore and they only want to email....so this is important! You could lose potential customers!) 
Good day! Thank you for your very helpful and practical tips of 10-steps to Grow. I like the way you wrote, “The best suggestion I can make is that you dedicate some 'think time' to laying these things out and sharing them with your team. ” Think times are very valuable and necessary for the development of the team. Your first step is very interesting. The vision is essential to clearly identify who the company serves, what to do and the necessary things to make and the things to prioritize. Indeed, Paul Saffo was right when he said, “Never mistake a clear view for a short distance.” The responsibility of the leader is crucial in the growth of any company.
