If you want your business to grow, take a personal interest in ensuring that it will grow to it's full potential - don't just rely on your workers.

• Your workers won't care as much as you do if you are going to lose.
  
  
• So lead your business with both passion, vigor and a sense that your passion and heart will need to spill over into the workplace to allow your business to grow into success.
  

Never take success for granted.

You must love your business so that it will love you back.
