Turn Short Term Revenue Into a Cornucopia of Revenue!

By

“Let the earth bring forth vegetation, the plants yielding seed.” (Gen 1:11) We are continuing our study on the business application of God making vegetables and what that means to business – especially start-ups. We have established that vegetables represent short term returns, your typical customer, your average sale, etc. To grow a great crop of vegetables that keeps your company well fed, you need to know what those vegetable clients or customers or prospects look like.

 

What is the profile of clients that provide your staple, survival food at present? What basic products, services or special offers can you offer those clients on an ongoing basis? What are you doing or should you be doing to cultivate and maintain those clients? You need to succeed here to make it through your first winter… just like the pilgrims first did. After that, you can expand your borders. So, what can you work on today that will yield a more immediate return?

 

Notice the Scripture says, “… the plants yielding seed.” The products you create as vegetation (short term revenue) need to be reproducible on a large scale. They may be generic products, but make sure they have spin-off potential. Also, look for multiple applications of your products and services. By that I mean, different niches for the same product. Be creative. It’s how God made you!

Hi, well you are allergorizing again, this is bad hermeneutics. Literal scripture does not mean something else. Jesus made some allergories but we should not.

Michael, at church we are currently going through a series on sowing for a faith harvest. pastor made several statements that were relevant here. Here's one. 1) The principle of sowing is universal. It's not just for evangelizing. It's also applicable for finances, business, relationships... If we don't sow we won't reap. Satan doesn't need to rob us if we don't sow seed. The best sowing will have Kingdom fruit, but we also need to sow into our business. Doug, there are Biblical principals and truths that are relevant for our daily life. I would rather Michael allogorize out of the Bible then give us the latest worldly wisdom from Harvard Business school. That's the whole point of his ministry, to help us turn to God's word for ways to run our businesses and succeed.

Hermeneutics is a system of intrepretation. I am not suggesting that what I have written is the intrepetation of the quoted Scripture. What I am doing my friend, is making an \"application\". That is quite different, but nonetheless helpful. Hope that helps you understand what I am doing Doug. Thanks for reading and for writing in. Thanks also to you Larry for sharing your comments. Helpful as usual. Blessings, Michael

\"For every opinion, there is an equal and oppsite opinion\". We're not discussing physics, but you get the idea. Michael, I agree with you. Nehemia, for example, was a great example of a project manager. It would be so wrong of us to ignore his practicle application of God's will for the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem just because we are not stone masons. Nehemiah prayed, God gave him the vision and the goals to accomplish, and then Nehemiah developed the plan to accomplish it. It's good reading for anyone interested in a biblical approach to translating God's will for their lives into a practical application for achieving it.
