NFIB has a great article titled New Horizons in 2007 with five ideas to grow and expand your business. I must say that I am not convinced that these lists of ideas to expand or grow your business are that useful because most entrepreneurs I have met do not lack ideas, they lack the time, know how, and focus to implement them.

That said here is my list. Hat Tip to Business Opportunities Weblog for drawing my attention to this resource.

1. Embrace the Internet: Create a Web site
2. Expand Your Niche
3. Hire Support Staff
4. Open Another Location
5.Secure a Government Contract

Not to be outdone, I did my own research and found these great resources...
