An Idea Is an Empire

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

An idea is usually intangible. It starts as a thought and grows as an expanded thought. This implies that ideas are thoughts expanded through creative but strategic thinking processes. Such processes should ideally be dependent on the Holy Spirit. Thoughts expanded to ideas create with the word of God birthing businesses, scientific inventions and what have you.  This is to say that ideas which originated as a thought (s) in the hearts of men and women over time expanded to the institutions, technologies, innovations, fashion etc that bless humanity today. Therefore, think more, process thoughts, ideas, evaluate and reevaluate them, including the jobs at hand to see how you can convert them to empires. Review what you do, what has been done and how it can be improved upon to grow beyond what it is now to the empire God designed it to be from the foundation of the world.

Everything God created is designed to multiply because embedded in every creation of God is the capacity for fruitfulness. Even nature teaches us that fruitfulness leads to multiplication and in some cases compounding. In like manner, an idea that is well thought out; implemented in the right place, at the right time and with the right people definitely turns out right, blooms and flourishes beyond the original implantation stage to become an empire.

Your divine ideas and talents, expertise, knowledge resources and experiences can become business empires which yield multiple income streams if intelligently harnessed to do so. This is to say that an idea properly processed is like the palm tree which at maturity definitely births multiple income streams. This is because every part of the palm tree is useful and generates money if sold. An idea that is allowed to mature through diligence and wise planning automatically yields business empires. Take for instance how the initial idea of digging a well to provide water for your household or neighbourhood can lead to the idea of producing and selling sachet water. Overtime, this idea can be expanded to producing bottled water, supplying the water to hotels and restaurants; and as business flourishes, you can add other beverages such as soda drinks and what have you.  

The original idea to set up a crèche in an office or Church can ultimately expand into child minding services across a town or city depending on your capacity to turn an idea into a business empire. Even the use to which you put a talent can expand that talent into a business empire. An actor can progress to a producer and who knows the proprietor of an acting institute. A dancer can progress beyond winning a dancing competition to becoming the owner of a dance institute. How about moving up from modeling to designing or running a modeling agency! The opportunities for turning an idea into a business empire are limitless.

I know someone who started working as a card designer in a card producing firm. After a while, she left the firm to set up and was quite successful producing festive cards. To further expand her business, she ventured into the production of calendars, invitation cards. But with the advent of new media, she realized that business was gradually fading out. She became a publisher of educational books alongside printing for other writers.

Do not underestimate the value of whatever idea comes to you. Process the idea and explore all the possibilities within the idea, then commence implementation from your present capacity and grow.
