In today's dynamic business environment, strategic thinking and entrepreneurial acumen are indispensable for navigating challenges and capitalizing on opportunities. This paper delves into the journeys of five successful entrepreneurs in Bangladesh, shedding light on their strategies for scaling up businesses and achieving remarkable success. The primary objective of this research is to elucidate the strategic pathways employed by successful entrepreneurs in Bangladesh to elevate their businesses from modest beginnings to thriving enterprises. By analyzing the experiences of these entrepreneurs and integrating them with existing strategic entrepreneurship models, the study aims to develop a comprehensive framework that captures the essence of entrepreneurial success. This research adopts a qualitative approach, drawing on case studies of the five entrepreneurs and a thorough review of existing literature on strategic entrepreneurship. Thematic analysis is utilized to identify common patterns, key factors, and critical elements contributing to business growth and success. The existing strategic entrepreneurship model is then refined and augmented based on insights gleaned from the entrepreneurs' experiences. The findings reveal significant commonalities among the entrepreneurial journeys, including the importance of determination, resourcefulness, value creation, and continuous improvement. The newly developed model synthesizes these insights, providing a structured framework for aspiring entrepreneurs to scale up their businesses strategically. In this study underscores the pivotal role of entrepreneurial Mindset and strategic decision-making in driving business success. The proposed model offers actionable insights for entrepreneurs and policymakers seeking to foster a conducive environment for entrepreneurship and economic development. By leveraging the strategic pathways outlined in the model, entrepreneurs can navigate the complexities of business growth and achieve sustainable success in today's competitive landscape.
