                     Key success factors 
for growing start-ups

⬥ A 14-year-old boy dreamed of 
buying The New York Jets and has 
never looked back since then. 
Today, Gary Vaynerchuk sits atop a 
$60M business empire but his 
journey, although provided a 
kickstart, was not easy. Putting his 
wits and knowledge to great use, 
he’s given out some great 
uncensored advice to business 
owners and has adopted some key 
success factors to grow his own 
business as well. 
⬥ Let’s move forward and look at 
some pointers that could help your 
business grow. 
⬥  
⬥ “Even if your ambitions are huge, 
start slow, start small, build 
gradually, build smart.”
⬥  ― Gary Vaynerchuk,  
Clear and concrete goals 
Armies don’t defeat with just manpower- they have a clear set goal and a 
plan of action to achieve it. Here, your workforce is your army working 
relentlessly towards a clear and identified goal. 
Even before your processes start, make sure there is an end goal for 
everything- a long term goal and a short term goal. A long term goal 
1 makes sure you’re not deviating from the course and short term goals motivate you to keep working towards your success. 
For a start-up, having weekly goals or task goals within the initial stages 
makes it easier to comprehend, figure out, and attain said goals.
“
⬥ 2.     Creating THE Team
⬥ “Skills are cheap, passion is priceless.”- Gary Vaynerchuk,  
⬥ Perfectly summed up by Gary- we feel the same way. 
⬥ Find like-minded people who are as excited and thrilled to be working 
towards your goals as you are. 
⬥ Your employees need to work towards common goals and know the 
meanings of those goals to you, to them and the startup- because 
your startup is an entity on its own now. 
⬥ Find untapped resources, turn to more experienced business owners 
and your employees for advice, find diversified talents to solve 
business problems. 
⬥ Having the correct mindset 
⬥ Rome was not built in a day and neither was a steam engine or wi-fi or your 
bedside lamp even. Failures do not mean you should give up, but extended 
periods of no return on investment and recurring losses might mean you 
have to switch up how you play your game. 
⬥ The thing is, operating a startup is tough and it only gets tougher until things 
start to look good. You will face problems, but you have a highly competent 
core team ready to put their brains into solving them, and really, humans 
are the biggest asset. 
⬥ Be optimistic, but realistic too.
⬥ The key is to not give in to the temptation of just giving up and becoming a 
sanyasi in the Himalayas. 
⬥  
⬥ 4. Innovate and improve 
⬥ In our fast-paced world, nothing stays still- it is dynamic and keeps on 
evolving. 
⬥ So do you. 
⬥ Now, this is probably one of the most important points here because 
innovation IS key. Key to growth, key to business, key to financial returns, 
and the key to knowledge.
