Growing your home based business is like working with a plant. You start of small. All you have is some dirt, a seed, and some water. Yet eventually, as you continue growing your home based business, you will need business “fertilizer” and a bigger business “pot.”

During the initial growing of your home based business, you will be doing everything on your own. Since you probably don’t have a lot of money, you will be giving yourself a number of job titles and stretching your budget as far as it can go. As long as what needs to be done gets done, you need to watch your budget and don’t jump the gun by hiring employees or paying for expensive advertising.

However, you also need to set limits for yourself when you are in this stage of growing your home based business. First, you are just starting out and you need to make sure you can meet any deadlines while providing the best possible work. When growing your home based business, your reputation is imperative to continued growth. This also means that you should not start overdoing the advertising until you know you can support the amount of work you are going to get from the advertising campaign.

It can also get tempting when growing your home based business to minimize your pricing and skimp on paying yourself. However, you should include your salary in your pricing along with any overhead costs. After you pay yourself and pay for your overhead costs, though, you need to put the profits back into your business. As you continue growing your home based business, you will need finances to expand.

Bargain shopping is also important when growing your home based business. You don’t have to have the top-of-the-line office equipment right away. Just get what you need. You can get away with an accounting program for a while before you will need an actual accountant. If you do run into a temporary bind with workload, use a temporary agency. It will be much less expensive than hiring a staff.

Finally, know when you need to push things further to continue growing your home based business. You’ll be able to identify this point, as your business will begin to plateau. This is when you will have to take some of those profits and pour them into more aggressive ad campaigns and possibly employees.
