KEY	POINTS
      	 “Moving	 on	 up”	 by	 increasing	 income	 in	 an	 existing	 business	 is	 usually

         easier	than	initially	starting	the	business.
      	 By	 making	 careful	 choices,	 you	 can	 often	 grow	 the	 business	 without

         dramatically	 increasing	 the	 workload,	 allowing	 you	 to	 scale	 without
         hiring	more	people.
      	Easy	growth	options	include	adding	a	service	to	a	product-based	business
         (or	vice	versa),	deploying	a	creative	series	of	upsells	and	cross-sells,	and
         making	a	few	key	tweaks.
      	 Horizontal	 expansion	 involves	 going	 broader	 by	 serving	 more	 customers
         with	 different	 (usually	 related)	 interests;	 vertical	 expansion	 involves
         going	 deeper	 by	 serving	 the	 same	 customers	 with	 different	 levels	 of
         need.
