Do not think you will make some big bucks by selling everything or offering all the services under the sun.
Business growth is always characterized by having a specific set out goals or targets which is what the thrust upon which the business will be built upon.

In this regard, in a perfectly competitive market such a business is destined for doom as it loses its image, credibility and the customers at will as it does not have a target and goal. Simply put, in growing a business, a mission statement is needed to serve as a summary of the services rendered and also a specific market that the services are intended to serve.
