4. Don't ignore what already works well ...
In an effort to be progressive, many companies are at risk of losing what they have built over many years.

5. ... but don't be afraid to try new strategy

Held quarterly market survey of new trends and competitor activity to be able to sell the same goods at lower prices, thus increasing the total turnover and customer base.
7. Try partnership
Look for partners among non-competing businesses that share your target audience and get the most advantageous conditions for you to pack.
For example, a restaurant, a cinema, and the therapist can become partners and work "under one roof" together to offer their services at a discount, for dinner, a movie or a massage.
These three partners could share the costs of marketing and the whole triple stream of customers in your business.
8. Delegate whenever possible
You should be free to work on your business and develop it.
Delegate tasks to employees based on their competence, give part of the work is outsourced to contractors, such as writing articles for your blog, website maintenance, processing and ads placed orders.
