Here's the thing: single-channel success feels efficient right up until it becomes fragile. One algorithm tweak. One policy change. One shipping disruption. And suddenly revenue isn't dipping - it's gasping. I've watched perfectly healthy SMEs wobble because their entire pipeline ran through one door. Diversification used to be a growth strategy. Now it's resilience strategy. A lot of founders mistake stability for safety. Sales look consistent. Costs are predictable. The platform works. Why complicate it?

Resilience as a growth strategy Imagine a business that is not only equipped to withstand economic disruption, but which can also rapidly adapt to changing market conditions and seize new opportunities. The most resilient SMEs that I have worked with do exactly that - facing down uncertainty while maintaining a competitive edge.
