Thoughts:
“You don’t jump to ₦10M+ monthly. You build to it. One smart step at a time.”
“Small, steady growth isn’t sexy… until you realize it’s the only type that survives.”
“₦1M to ₦2M is growth. ₦1M to ₦10M in one month without any system is gambling.”
“Scale too fast, and your business becomes the reason you can’t sleep.”
Everybody wants to blow.
Nobody wants to build.
You made ₦1M this month and you’re already shouting “₦10M or nothing next month!”
Calm down. You’re not in a Netflix movie.
Growth is like adding weight at the gym.
You don’t carry 100kg today because you feel hyped.
You go from 20kg → 30kg → 50kg → 75kg… and then one day 100kg becomes normal.
It’s the same with Ecommerce.
You build muscle by stretching your business, not snapping it.
Every time you double your numbers with intention, you build capacity.
Capacity to handle more stock.
More ads.
More delivery.
More staff.
More stress.
More wins.
But if you try to 10x your sales without growing your capacity,
Your business will fight back.
And you will lose.
Here Is The Growth Strategy Nobody Talks About
STRATEGY 1: Use The “Double Then Stabilize” Method
Let’s say your profit this month is ₦1M.
Next goal? Just ₦2M.
Not ₦10M. Not ₦20M. Just ₦2M.
Once you hit that ₦2M, don’t rush.
Stabilize.
Let your system settle.
Let your team breathe.
Let your numbers prove themselves for 2-3 weeks.
Then move to ₦4M.
Then ₦6M.
Then ₦10M.
That’s how you grew.
But by volume + structure + patience.
Can you set bigger goals and move quickly from ₦1M to ₦5M?
Yes, but you need someone in your corner to give you feedback.
We’ve people moving from ₦200k per day to ₦1M per day.
But you need feedbacks in order not to crash & burn.
STRATEGY 2: Track Growth With Daily Metrics, Not Monthly Emotion
Most people track only their monthly numbers.
They say, “I want ₦10M this month”
But they don’t know how many sales per day will give them that.
They don’t know how many products to sell.
They don’t even know the delivery cost per state.
How do you grow what you don’t even understand?
We started tracking daily orders.
Once we saw what 10 daily sales felt like…
We knew what it would take to hit 15. Then 20. Then 30.
No guesswork. Just numbers.
We use our Daily Order Tracker inside ESL to monitor growth like blood pressure.
Because every day tells the truth.
Not the end-of-month highlight reel.
STRATEGY 3: Build Systems That Can Handle What You’re Asking For
This one is where most people crash.
They want to do 100 orders per day.
But they still use one rider.
Still do only 1 manual follow-up.
Still creating and testing only 1 ad creative.
That’s like pouring 50 liters of fuel into a keke napep and expecting it to win Formula 1.
Before you scale, ask yourself:
Can your ad budget support it?
Can your staff close sales without mistakes?
If the answer is “no,”
Then your business is not ready to grow.
You’ll crash it with your big dreams.
