More money, more problems.

Just because things are on the up-and-up financially doesn’t mean that you’re suddenly making all the right decisions.

In a blog post, Marlis Korber at SBI Management Services argues that you may find yourself so blindsided by the sudden expansion that you’re stuck catching your breath and reacting to the growth, rather than taking it all in stride.

“The fact is, rapid growth is expensive,” she explains. “More revenue shouldn’t mean a surplus of profits. More revenue means more work. If profits are extremely high, it probably means you are underspending on your infrastructure. Service will quickly erode, your reputation will deteriorate and retention will dip. If you don’t use reserves now and use them wisely, this period of growth will sour quickly.”

Be sure to check out her full list of ideas to help find the sweet spot between embracing the growth and not letting it overwhelm you.

“Growth is only a good problem if you handle it wisely,” she adds.
