From hiring and cash flow to scaling and planning for an eventual sale, what does it take to grow a business without losing sight of the bigger goal? According to entrepreneur and strategic advisor Victoria Sivrais, strong revenue alone isn't enough; founders need to understand profitability, manage cash flow carefully, hire with long-term goals in mind, and surround themselves with trusted advisors.
