The small businesses get taken out of the game first when times get hard. When customers are free and far between and margins are squeezed.
The businesses thats service even in the worst of times seem to be the companies that are huge. They promote the most, they sell the most they are not necessarily the best at what they do but we see them everywhere.
In London in particular companies that come to mind include Pimlico Plumbers, a great company that was started by one man working on the tools Charlie Mullins. And has now become a large company with hundreds of employers and contractors who work with the firm. You see the red, blue and white branded vans all over London and they now provide not just plumbing services to their customers but now they cover electrical, carpentry and roofing services.
Pimlico Plumbers is a great example of how our only option when trying to build a successful business is to think big and aim high, reach many customers and possibly cover multiple industries.
Grant Cardones book 10x is a fantastic read for those people needing to get to the next level in business and life.
