However, this is not just any growth process, such as the origin of rapid, profit from rising, and so on a short term basis. Growth in question is sustainable growth in the long term.

Growth in question is the growth that does not require you spinning fun with the numbers on a quarterly basis, the growth of which produces a decent margin, growth-oriented company that makes the structure of the profit, and growth achieved with simplicity and not complexity that drain energy. 

To obtain the continuous growth, the company must perform three main steps, namely Fewer, Bigger, Bolder. Stage by stage, the company is implementing this strategy can have a lasting business growth with rising profits and cost savings. 

Keywords of the third step is the focus. In essence, the company should be able to focus on the potential that can carry on the sustainable growth. Therefore, the framework Focus7 Sahwney call. In this case, the company must isolate the potential growth for the company, including the capital, opportunities, programs, human resources, and so on. 

This framework consists of seven steps, namely Discovery (Search for growth), Strategy (Pick your batch), rallying Cry (rouse the troop), People (Unleash potential), Execution (simplify and delegate), Organization (align and collaborate) , and Metrics (measure and Communicate progress). 

In general, the company should be able to perform the reduction of a number of activities of the company and focus on initiatives that have the greatest growth potential. In the Discovery process, companies must be able to map the huge potential that exists. Additionally, companies must be able to align leadership with a new initiative-initiative.

Furthermore, the strategy must be communicated to all elements of the company is simple (rallying cries). It can be translated in various forms, such as slogans, acronyms, pictures, and color. 

The next step is to pay attention to human resources and the most potentially relevant in an effort to build such growth. Companies must pay great attention to people who are intelligent, have passion, and great energy in the transformation process. In essence, put the right people in the right place. 

Then, the company should be able to simplify the process of business operations. In this case, the company should be able to delegate important tasks to people who had talent. Furthermore, the company also must be able to establish a collaboration with many elements. This collaboration is intended to break down barriers and problems that so far hampered the company grow. Finally, the company should be able to make a success indicator to measure progress. Then, communicate it to all the elements. 

With the focus of the third step, the hope, the company is no longer expanding rash that looks brilliant in the short term but brittle, but it can always be a continuous growth now and in the future.
