Ten rules of value-creating growth

1. Put competitive advantage first. Start with a winning, scalable formula.
2. Make the trend your friend. Prioritize profitable, fast-growing markets.
3. Don’t be a laggard. It’s not enough to go with the flow—you need to outgrow your peers.
4. Turbocharge your core. Focus on growth in your core industry—you can’t win without it.
5. Look beyond the core. Nurture growth in adjacent business areas.
6. Grow where you know. Focus on growing where you have an ownership advantage.
7. Be a local hero. Commit to winning on the home front.
8. Go global if you can beat local. Expand internationally if you have a transferable advantage.
9. Acquire programmatically. Combine healthy organic growth with serial acquisitions.
10. It’s OK to shrink to grow. Ruthlessly prune your portfolio if you need to.

Do you have to be the best all the time?

 The 1 Percent Rule states that over time the majority of the rewards in a given field will accumulate to the people, teams, and organizations that maintain a 1 percent advantage over the alternatives. You don't need to be twice as good to get twice the results. You just need to be slightly better.

The 1 Percent Rule is not merely a reference to the fact that small differences accumulate into significant advantages, but also to the idea that those who are one percent better rule their respective fields and industries. Thus, the process of accumulative advantage is the hidden engine that drives the 80/20 Rule.
