Many
people read the bible as a manual to get to heaven so as they go through the
pages they are seeing themselves through the gates. This is awesome to imagine
but there is more to the bible than the afterlife. In John 6 Jesus said,
"the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life." The Message translation says every word I have spoken to you is a
spirit-word and so it is life making. So in reading the bible I'm mindful of
principles that can equally apply to Business. One such principle is found in 1
John 4:1 which says, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the
spirits whether they are of God..."
So you
have thought upon a brilliant idea, it comes from your spirit. But at that
moment it is only brilliant in your mind. What do you do? Unfortunately I have
seen people who run ahead with implementation of the idea only to realise it is
a dead end. That is like seeing some great miracle worker and running after
them only to realise later that they are actually working through other spirits
not of God. You would have lost much along the way.
So whatever
idea comes to your mind test its efficacy, the world is bigger than your head
if you don't put enough information into it. Do basic research to answer the
questions "is it being done elsewhere, is it being done in your town or
country, can I make people want to pay for it, can I put all the pieces of the
puzzle together in my head". I have seen people so excited about a new
thing they thought of but didn't really know how it's supposed to work. If you
cannot explain the A-Z of it then you still have work to do. When you take your
idea out you must have tested it and be sure it's a winner. Let it fail because
of something else not because you didn't test it enough to know it's not a
winner.
