Everything happens for a reason
Yes a business needs to breath. As a person you breathe right? Even your business needs to breath. You breath through the nostrils and the lungs right? Exactly my point. You need oxygen to survive as a person. You also need food to live well. You need water to be nourished. Every organ in your life is fulfilling its intended role. Every organ is there for a reason. At the end of the day, all organs work together for your highest intended good.
You have a life to live right? You have been given life to life fully. You have the legs to walk. You have the mouth speak to speak. You also have the hands to work and create your own income. You see, nothing is useless. Everything is there for a purpose. Everything has been created and made for a certain purpose. Every part of the body is wanted and needed. Every part has a role to play.
If you as a person needs oxygen to live, how much more about your business? Your business also have the most important elements it cannot afford to function and go on without. You cannot live without your soul. The car is not a car without the engine. The engine is forever needed for the proper functioning of the car. A business must have the most important elements in order to live forever. What are the elements the business needs in order to live and breath forever? Let’s look at this powerful elements.
The 2 most powerful elements every business needs to breathe and live forever
The mission
In the first place, every business needs to have a mission in order to function powerfully. The mission is the soul of the business. The mission is to a business what an engine is to a car. You can’t as a person live without the soul. The soul is your whole being. Without the soul which is the mission, your business will not be able to breath forever. It will be here today and not here tomorrow.
If we can take out your soul, you are a dead person. You see, you are nothing without the soul. The soul is your very life. So the mission is the soul of the business. Without the proper and solid mission, the business cannot last and succeed. Now you know why all your business endeavours have been failures. Try this time with a solid mission and your business life will never be the same again.
You have seen how the mission is the soul of the business. As a person you have one soul but the business must have two missions in order to breathe forever. The business must have two souls to last forever unlike a person who can make it with just one soul. So a business must have two souls? Yes. What are these souls that carries the business forever? What are these souls that give the business some life? What are these souls that determine the breath of the business? Let’s look at them. Let’s go.
The 2 major souls of the business
- The spiritual mission
Remember this important fact, the mission is always bigger than everyone associated with the business or brand. The mission therefore always has to be bigger than the entrepreneur and everyone who is involved in the business. Therefore, the mission has to be that strong.
Let’s look at the first and most powerful mission that every business must have in order to live forever. The business first needs the spiritual mission. But what is the spiritual mission? Please don’t mistaken this with church or any religious activity or movement. In this context, spiritual mission refers to all the beneficial activities that the business is doing beyond the business itself. For example, when a business say, we clothe the poor or feed the hungry, that is the spiritual mission.
These are the activities the business is doing to bring about a major difference in the communities they are serving. It’s all about impact. Some businesses even have foundations that helps the people in many ways. Food is given to the poor. Shelters and houses are built for the disadvantaged. Kinds go to school for free. The needy are helped.
This is the spiritual mission and I believe all businesses must have it in order to flourish. Such activities then attract blessings and everlasting fruits to the business. Let’s look at the second type of mission a business needs to have. Are you ready? Let’s go.
- The business mission
This one has to do with the commercial side of things. What is the business doing commercially? It’s all about the market. It’s all about everything and anything commercial. For example, our overall mission at Bluelyf is to change and transform people’s lives. That is the example of a business mission.
In other words, our business and brand is focused on bringing about a major change in people’s lives. We achieve this objective by bringing to the market excellent products and services. Products and services that we know that one thing for sure will be able to shift and change the entire scope of your life. That’s our story and we are definitely sticking to it.
What is your business mission? If you don’t have any, i urge you to find one today. I encourage and challenge you to develop one because the success of your business depends on it. Yes it does. Your business mission will help your business wither any form of storm.
Conclusion
The 2 souls are essential
Do you have the spiritual mission in your business? If you don’t have one, it’s time to develop it. Do you have the business mission in your business? Get it today if you don’t have one because the success of your business depends on such a mission.
Make it a point to have both the missions in your precious brand today. The survival of your business depends on those two powerful missions. A business without a mission is like a human being without a soul. Without a soul there is no life. Without a soul there is no living.
