Start to develop a Business Plan. Then I think you can start to visualise where you will be in one month, three months, one year, three years.....................then after you get to three........you can revise. Let me know if you need help.

There are only three ways, if you exclude buying another business

a) Get more customers (of the right sort)

b) Get your customers to spend more on each transaction

c) Get your customers to spend more frequently

Anything that you do will be aimed at one of those three. Evidently the actual methods that you use will vary from business to business. It's one thing to get somebody to come back to visit a restaurant more frequently, but rather more difficult to get somebody to buy two tax returns off you each year.:p

Basic question. Basic answer!

Think I need to explor other sales channels as well.

If you are a stable succesful business then partnership, franchise or an investor are all options.
